Well, it’s about time!!! It’s November 4th and I have yet to post pictures of my classroom! Long story short, our school was having work done {new windows!} and teachers only had TWO days– yes, two– to get our rooms in order. And, I haven’t felt that it was complete until now. Sort of. So with our further ado… my room 🙂
I had this bulletin board up at the beginning of last year with every intention of changing it monthly… that never happened! Now it’s a permanent staple in front of my room {Wall #1}:
Below the board are my cubbies/mailboxes. On top of those you can see my Sparklers {table points} and Secret Star incentives!
Right next to my cubby area I have some other little management tools and a space for making and displaying anchor charts:
The wall leads to our calendar area which you’ll see in the next couple pics. On the shelf I keep baskets filled with various handouts for the week. Inside the cubbies are our center bins and student book boxes:
Moving back up, here is my calendar board {Wall #2}:
At the suggestion of my Insta friends, I put a banner in the blank space above the month. I think it looks fabulous!! Thanks, friends 🙂
Now for a picture of the full bulletin board:
As you can see, the other half of the board is our focus wall:
I *love* this set! The headers and objectives were just what I needed to create an eye-catching focus board. I hole-punched the objectives and hung them using binder rings. Maybe one day I will put up Science and Social Studies standards… but today was not that day, ha.
Tissues fit perfectly on the middle shelves, and I keep bottles of soap and “hanitizer” in the baskets on the sides! The cabinets are filled with plates, napkins, cleaning supplies, etc.
If we skip a wall of new windows and my teacher aide’s desk… we find the library {Wall #3}:
The rug and mini disc chairs are from Big Lots a few years ago, and the stools are from Ikea. I *love* these little magnetic display shelves from Lakeshore— they are great for displaying holiday books! To the left is my book cart {also from Lakeshore} and center rotation:
To the right is big book storage:
We have almost made a complete circle around the room! This is where I meet with small groups, and where my firsties keep their belongings {Wall #4}:
Behind the big doors is my student closet. I decided to make a “Word Closet” this year and brighten up the big brown space with colorful words! The letter cards are in my TpT shop!
The yellow table is the perfect size for my room, and for sitting with guided reading groups. I ordered it from Quill; it was reasonably priced, and came quickly. The yellow edges and legs fit in nicely with my brightly colored classroom!
To the right of the table is an easel with chart paper, and a shelf with games/puzzles. To the left is my filing cabinet, which doubles as a display for our weekly words and big book:
And that’s my tour! If you keep going, you will walk right out the door:
{Psst! I won the door contest this year!!!}
I hope it was worth the two month wait! 😉 Have a great night!!
Yesterday was the judging of the pumpkin contest, and today they announced the winners {talk about suspense!}. We thought it was one winner per grade level, but then we found…
Happy April… 6th! Today I am on day two of a three day Spring Break, and I am enjoying every.single.second with my gorgeous Summer girl! She is 9 months and…
This is the post I originally planned for Sunday… before Columbus pushed it aside 😉 We had some extra time on Thursday and Friday last week {as I always tend to…
Wow, it’s just about mid-June! Time sure does fly when you’re off for the summer 🙂 I know many of us just began break, while others are still hittin’ the books…
It’s no secret that I love to create, especially when it comes to making items that enhance learning in my classroom. New ideas are constantly popping into my head, and…
Wow, it’s December!! Where does the time go?! This week we have parent conferences, so I am in a mad rush to take down Thanksgiving and put up Christmas in…
