Before I leave my classroom for summer break each year, I take pictures of my mess so I can remember what I have to work with over the summer. Figured I'd share them with you guys. Please ignore the mess...
This is my classroom library now. Not sure if my students will have enough room to see the books they want to choose for Daily 5. Might change out the cubbies for shelves.
Classroom library area.
It usually has a large rug, lamp, and 2 camping chairs in it as well.
The view from the front corner of my room.
My writing station (I've really got to fix this area up, but I'm not sure how to just yet.)
My "teacher corner" and guided reading boxes for each group (with the stars).
Workstation board and Math wall.
The workstation board area will house my Daily 5 choice chart.
Going to change the math wall into my CAFE board, FACES of a Reader.
Calendar area. Might be changing this up a bit.
Cubbies where students keep their book bags.
Teacher's Helper, Common Core Standards, and Essential Questions posters.
I've got so many ideas for my classroom that I'm having a hard time choosing the ones I actually want to do. I also want to implement Daily 5/CAFE, math
BUILD boxes (somehow tying them in with
Guided Math possibly), and the new Common Core standards with new units in both math and language arts. On top of that, I was chosen as Teacher of the Year at my school (huge honor!), which means I get the privilege of writing a paper about myself... something I can't stand. I've got bullet points listed of things I want to write about under each topic, but I just can't make myself write the actual paper.
Procrastination has set in... somethin' fierce! There are way too many book studies and Pinterest things to pin!
Have a great Friday!
