Below the BBs/behind my desk is this little pink table from Ikea. I used to have a chunky computer desk, but I opted to get rid of it and put my computer right on my desk this year. I plan on putting extra supplies here… basically, whatever doesn’t fit on my desk, like markers and stuff.
Now we’ve {somehow} made our way back to the front of the room. I decided to display the posters from my reading center starter kit on my closet door {yes I have two teacher closets, and it’s fabulous!!}. Next to that in the corner are privacy shields and some inspirational posters. I tuck the garbage and recycling cans under that desk.
Here’s another quick look at the reading strategy display. If we keep walking to the left we will walk right out the door…
…so here’s a pic of the inside of my door! 🙂 It says, “Here’s the Scoop… First Grade is Sweet!” and I used ice cream cones to display the name of my 24 kiddos, plus me and my aide. Obvs, I blurred everyone’s name out {hence the pretty little boxes over the scoops}!
And last, but not least, is a random photo of my table caddies! I didn’t know where else to fit them in my tour so here they are! Each table of four desks gets a supply caddy. The slider pencil cases are for crayons, and the little cups each hold things like scissors, red pens, highlighters, and glue sticks.
And there you have it!! My classroom tour! I still have a few things to finish here and there, but is classroom set-up ever really done?! I feel like I am moving and changing things all year long! 🙂 Anywho, I hope you enjoyed your stay!
