Getting the Classroom Ready!

I am so excited that I finally feel like my room is coming together. I kept a lot of things that I liked from last year but added some new "touches" as well. There were many people, blogs, and other websites that inspired many of these projects! I hope the students and parents love it as much as I do!


 
These boards are outside of my classroom in the hallway. The top one is my communication board. I have the schedule (including special area) and our class list posted here. There are also two blank pages that I will paperclip the current newsletter and a quote of the day for the kids to read before they come into the room each morning. The other board is to display student work. Each student has  a piece of paper with a paperclip that I will add their work to as we go through the year. I am planning on adding some kind of a "catchy" phrase in the middle but just haven't decided what I want it to say yet :)

 
This is our reading area. I have used file boxes from Thirty-One and put student numbers on them. Each child will be responsible for filing their own papers when they are done with an assignment.
 







 
Using jewelry hangers is a great way to organize flash cards (and cute too!)
 


 
Emergency info is always posted and ready by the door (just in case ;) )

 
Our behavior board. "Good Behavior Is Always In Style!"

 

 
Extra stuff!!
