Ahh, finally! I feel my room is “done enough” to share it with you!
I snapped tons of pics, so sit back and {hopefully} enjoy!
Let’s start with the inside of my door:
I blurred them out, but my new kiddo’s names are on the cupcake bottoms.
This is a view of the front of my room:
A chalkboard stretches across the whole wall and there are cubbies beneath it.
Here are some close-ups of the right side of the board:
Hand signals, voice level chart, and a cupcake birthday chart.
My attendance cookies sheets and birthday balloon straws.
On top of the shelf are student mailboxes, and in the cubbies below are a bunch of math manipulatives. The bins all the way to the right are currently empty, but pretty!
Also in the cubbies are student book boxes.
I plan to keep journals, special and center folders, etc. in these bins.
This angle is looking toward my teacher space:
I love my little nook! My computer will go on the smaller table beneath the TV.
Storage behind my desk:
I have a bunch of craft supplies and such in those drawer units. Above them are paper bins to hold worksheets for different subjects. The posters above are for the days of the months/week, my class rules and morning routine, counting the days chart, and all the way to the right are my picture directions.
Right above my desk I have a little wall space:
The pennant says my name when it’s not blurred out 🙂 Hubs hung a magnetic dry-erase calendar for me, and I’m going to use it instead of a big desk cal.
Along the wall in my teacher’s nook are my bulletin boards:
Up top I included some owls because we know they are all the rage! The blue BB is my behavior chart; the pink is my birthday board; and the yellow is my calendar area. Here are some close-ups:
The view of my calendar board is a little obstructed by the hanging TV, so I had to take the picture from an angle.
This view shows my bathroom/sink area:
You can kind of see GO/STOP signs hanging on the bathroom door… to prevent kiddos from walking in on anyone!
A close-up of the sink:
On the cabinets I have posters on washing your hands and covering your cough, etc. Next to the cabinets, I had my husband hang a small bulletin board for my job chart… which is finished in this next pic:
I write names on the stars and use paper clips to attach them to the super kids {I attached two blank ones just to show you}.
By the sink there is a wall of windows:
And if you follow the wall of windows all the way to the left, you’ll see my library space:
The libary is there in the back of this pic. Next to my book cart is one walk in closet and up close on the left is my second walk in closet. The round table will be for small groups. The closets in the middle are for my students’ belongings… and it’s still a mess as I haven’t organized it yet!
Close-up of the library:
Mmm, pretty much in love with this space!! The chevron carpet matches my theme perfectly, as do the mini-disc chairs! The magnetic book holders will display books for current themes. Also in my library corner is this big book holder/white board center:
And just because I’m in shock at how much my room has changed…
here are two BEFORE pics:
Wow!
I’m not *completely* done… I still have little things to do… small details 🙂
I’ll post about those when I get them done!
I hope you loveee my room! I do!! I am so excited to spend my time in there; it feels like home!

Yikes! All of my pictures {via Photobucket} are disappearing!! I guess too many people are checking out my pics… No complaints there!! 🙂 I am updating this from my iPhone,…
