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.
