I'm joining in for Day 3 of Teacher Week with the girls from Blog Hoppin' to share with you a little tour of my classroom. I did a classroom reveal post last week with all of the details of where I got everything I used to get my room ready. If you see something you like and want the details of where it came from you can check that post here.
First stop on
the tour is my writing station area... I think it is my most
favorite!
To save space I used these amazing extra large
library pockets from CTP!
They can pick a writing activity from the writing board and get the
corresponding sheet from one of these pockets! I laminated the pockets so I
could write on them with a dry erase marker. These pockets are awesome! They
hold up to 50 sheets of paper. I attached them to the wall with velcro. I love
that it is all together and doesn't take up a ton of space on a
shelf.

Bubble Gum
Words-- you can read a post all about how this works here.
This is my
little corner of the room.
Reading Focus
Board-- I display the poem of the week and the reading focus skills here each
week. Below are books in the classroom library. There is also a bottom row of tubs
with books that didn't make the pic.
Listening Center-- students will use the scoop
chairs when at the listening chairs.In the tubs are listening station packs. I have the book, CD, and
corresponding recording sheet in a ziplock bag.
Another little view of the classroom library. Sorry for
the bad lighting! I place featured books in the book shelf. Currently it's all
back to school books. I should have taken a pic of the entire library area. But maybe you get an idea of what it looks like. :)
Math Focus
Board-- I add standards to this as we cover them. Currently we are focusing on
addition and counting so they all aren't up there just yet.
Meeting area... We love carpet time! This is where a lot of our learning takes place. Behind it you can see the smart board, my teacher cart with laptop, flexcam, markers, flash cards, etc. and to the right of the teacher cart it's hard to see but it is the shelf with our center tubs and the Kindle Fire tablets.
This
is
a
view
from
the
back
of
the
room
at
my
small
group
table.
This
year
I
have
my
students
in
groups
of
four.
I
color
code
my
groups.
I
have
a
green,
purple,
red,
and
blue
group.
Last
year
I
got
a
class
set
of
chair
pockets
from
Seat
Sack
and
I
LOVE
them
so
much!!!
I
washed
them
this
summer
and
they
looked
good
as
new
for
my
new
group
of
firsties.
In
their
chair
pockets
they
keep
their
classwork
folder, journal, etc.
Each group has a book shelf beside their group.
This is where they place their SAFARI Books, journals, earbuds/headphones, etc.
I started this last year and loved how it worked out!
Here is my small group table. The shelves behind have manipulatives and extra classroom supplies stored on it. And up top are some of my Kohls Cares friends hanging out.
Cubbies.. Student's put their lunchboxes, backpacks, and gym shoes in a cubbie. I use the extras to store books and classroom materials. My Kohls Cares friends are hanging out up top! :)
