Calm Coastal Décor-Wait until you see it! Middle School English

I'm so glad you're here. My name is Morgan and I'm a Jesus-loving, mama of four that is full of mistakes and love. This will be my first year returning to teaching after staying home with my youngest for the last 3 years. I was a middle school teacher before for 10 years. If you want to sneak a peak into our fun and messy lives or come along as this whole new fun adventure unfolds, keep watching. I love talking about all things faith, Teaching, homemaking, gardening, and family. Sometimes when it seems too much, I am reminded to stop and smell the Lilacs! My favorite plant that reminds me of my grandma, and all things lovely. If you have enjoyed my content, the best praise you can give is to “LIKE” and “SUBSCRIBE.” I also love to hear from you in the comments, because you are why I do what I do! I appreciate you and thanks so much for watching!
I also keep a blog at cracksintheveil.com if you would like to read more of my writing. Thanks for stopping by.

The mural put the touch on your room. So calming and serene

[@LifeandLilacs]

Thank you so much. I was heading to the beach when I got the call for this job offer and the ocean always brings me so much peace, so I thought why not put a giant picture of it in my room for the stressful days. I really do love looking at it!

[@tashamarie3964]

Such a beautiful room, so cozy and calming. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Your classroom looks AMAZING!

[@LifeandLilacs]

Thank You friend, that means a lot. Hope everyone is well!

[@michellemp1626]

Your room looks beautiful!! So cozy, zen-like, and functional! It has a great flow!!

[@LifeandLilacs]

Thank you, those are definitely words that I want it to feel like. I also love to think about flow in a room and how I will move around in it and kids also. It's really important to me to have open uncluttered spaces where creative ideas can flourish. Thank You so much for stopping by and taking a moment to comment.

@@LifeandLilacs I keep the same in mind when I set up my 2 classrooms. I teach K-5 art and travel between 2 schools.

[@LifeandLilacs]

I could see how a minimal approach would be really important with traveling classrooms. I hope you have a wonderful school year with your art classes!

[@michellemp1626]

@@LifeandLilacs thank you so much!!

[@theapocalypse5752]

Beautiful room! ❤

[@teacherof20]

yes!!

[@LifeandLilacs]

Thank you!! 😊

[@TheOldNewTeacher]

What a calming vibe! Thank you for sharing! I love the lighting - how are those ceiling lights plugged in?

[@LifeandLilacs]

Thank you so much. They are plugged in to a white extension cord that goes behind the sheer curtains by my desk to a plug. All I do is just pull the plug to turn them off. Maybe eventually I can get a remote control plug, time will tell. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my room!
