My Classroom

I am really excited about being in a new school this year. I have had fun setting up a new classroom and getting things ready for the upcoming school year. I was in my last room for 8 years so it was a bit of a challenge to decide where things should go in my new room. I put alot of time into planning how to make my room the most efficient and "user friendly" it could be while still being a place where students were comfortable. I am pleased with the way things worked out. I hope I will continue to be pleased when I actually have to use the room with students in it!

This is what I walked into... white, empty, booorrrrring



 See all my boxes stacked above the lockers?

More boxes

More white, empty boooorrrring

A sad little blank bulletin board :(

That sad bulletin board was the first thing I had to fix!

I unpacked all the boxes and put my labled tubs with science supplies above the lockers.

A closer look at the labels on the tubs.

I organized my book shelf with more supplies. (I don't know why this picture is weird, I tried and tried to fix it and then I just accepted it. I hope you will too.)

Vocabulary Wall

Standing at the front of the room.

Standing at the back of the room.

Anchor charts, tubs for science notebooks and tubs for science folders 

My desk area...not that I ever get to sit there!

And finally...this is how I worked at home this summer on lesson planning, always always with my helpful assistant, Chester.
