My Classroom

 

I think I am FINALLY ready which is a good thing because our first day of school is TOMORROW! Excuse me while I stop to wonder how summer flew by so quickly : /

 

This year I moved classrooms and grade levels! I'm looping and have the same kiddos I had last year so I really tried to make my classroom look different for our new year. Here's a peek...

 

Here is the library which is leveled for AR.

 

 

 

 

 



 

Right next to our bookshelf we have a basket of pillows and a basket of books that students can check out and take home for reading homework.



 



 



 

Math manipulatives are organized...let's home they stay that way!

 

Here's our supply station. It is looking pretty empty because all our supply boxes are on the floor awaiting tomorrows arrival of supplies!

This is where I will run the document camera. In front of our purple couch will be our meeting area.

 

Our meeting ready for our first of many read alouds:)

 

 This will more than likely be the cleanest our group table will ever be...

 

This is what you would see as you walk in...

Now I'm are off to get a good night of sleep...long day tomorrow!

Meet the Teacher Night

Last night was our school's Meet the Teacher night! It was a much more relaxing night than usual since I knew most of my kids. They were so surprised when they found out they I would be their teacher AGAIN this year! I didn't get many pictures but here are a few...and a freebie too ;)

At first I LOVED this poster that I made with window paint and black butcher paper. The colors really popped!...Then I rolled it up and took it to school. When I unrolled it I found that it smudged and it didn't look as nice as it did before :( Next time I'll use chalkboard paint!

The kids wrote how they felt about third grade on post its and I was happy to see that most were excited!

I also wanted to have a little snack for them. I remember seeing something similar to this years ago and I thought I'd try it out this year. I brought 5 different types of snacks that each stood for something I wanted the kiddos to know was important for a successful year. The scoops and and bowls are all from the Dollar Tree and the scoops came 2 to a pack so this wasn't super expensive but it still looked nice! It was definitely a hit!

Well our first day of school is on Tuesday! Ready or not....Here they come!
