It's great to have walls and doors! :lol: We already start PD last week and the kids are back on the 27th.
Gopher...sorry if this has been answered somewhere (i don't see it, but there are sooo many replies!). Where did you get your "Feelings & Emotions" pictures? I have the exact same pictures on my fridge as a magnet (with a cool "today i feel..." frame to put over the chosen feeling). I'd love to use these pictures in my classroom.
My classroom yesturday: My classroom today: Still working on these BBs, but I figured I'd share: Actually, my room really is not done, but this is what I got done in two days. Whew! I'm pooped. Now it's time to actually teach!!!
Hey we doing Reading First at my school as well, how do your center rotations work? I saw your chart but how does it work and how many and what type of center do you do? Thanks!
Great job, Beth. It looks so neat - and ready for kids. I have the same reading posters. Peachyness, you work fast. Your room is awesome. Wow, you have a lot of desks.
Peachyness, didn't you go from kindergarten to 5th? How/Where did you get so many 5th grade books in time? I wanted to do Scholastic but I didn't think you could order in the summer without ordering from the catalog Looks great!
Your classroom is GREAT!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your little bins with the super cute kids on them!!! Where on earth did you find those??? I would love to have some myself!:wub:
I got all of my books from other teachers. About 100 were mine, and the other 1000 are from the teachers from my school (teachers who retired or moved to a different grade).
Yeah, I know. We have 30 plus kids in 5th. Right now, I only have 24 enrolled, but they told me that that will definately rise to 30 and may even go higher. I don'tknow how I could do more than 30. I have no room for more desks!!!
I think someone made a copy from the poster "How Are You Feeling Today?" (Amazon) and I blew up the faces and put them on cards for the Vocabulary Wall. If I had the copy on my computer I would be happy to share, but I don't.
Bins... The bins and other cute classroom stuff can be found on the website www.greenapplesdesigns.com
OK...I'm officially finished with my room until after "Open House"! Then I plan to clean out my desk! I may need to get current on my shots first! :lol: Tour my classroom!!! http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd102/TeachKids2Read/
Teachkids2read, I love your room!!! Your country apple theme is adorable (I love apple decor). What do you have in the little bags on the tables?? I would love to be a kid in your room! Well done!
Thank you! I have a pencil, eraser, a thick plastic "READ" bracelet...a bookmark and the Hedgie Loves to Read book in which I inscribed with each student's name and "WELCOME TO 2nd GRADE...Love, Mrs. Sides"
I'm very proud of all of you! :2up: As you know my room was "done" last week. I keep finding more stuff to do. Open House is tomorrow night, and school starts Monday.
The rooms all look great. Just started in on mine today!! I'm overwhelmed, but these pics are a great motivator! Teachkids.........your room is just adorable! So cozy and homy!! I love it!!!! You have such cute decorations. I love the baskets you have your books in, too.
Cute room 1st year teacher!! I have those same froggie chairs in my classroom that my kids use for independent reading time. I love them!
Thanks...it's cozy...I like it homy since I spend more time there than at home during the school year, I like it to be warm and inviting...yet conducive to learning!!!
Wow! Your room is one of the nicest I've ever seen! I absolutely love it! The tree is amazing! Great job! :clap:
Thank you very much!!! One of the other teachers on our campus said to me today..."ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ONLY A 2nd YEAR TEACHER???" That made me feel good!!! It's amazing how quickly you accumulate "STUFF" for school and teaching! My hubby is happy that I FINALLY got all of that "SCHOOL STUFF" out of our house!!!
Was that recently??? I wonder if they have them in the family dollar in my town! Gotta go look tomorrow.
Ha! I know exactly what you mean!! I had to move all my stuff home after my first year because my position got cut. Moving it all into my room this summer has been crazy. I couldn't believe how much I had and how much space I was taking up at home!
I'm going through the same thing! It's taken me a few trips to move everything into my classroom, but I think it's finally all out of my basement and into my room.
Yup, I have the froggie, dog and bear chairs!! I just couldn't choose 1 kind!:lol: Just beware though...they are not made to last a long time. A couple of my chairs' fabric are kinda coming loose. But for $6, they are worth it. I'm going to even have the kids use a clothespin chart to sign up to use them (along w/ the beanbag chairs, folding chairs, rocking chairs etc.):up:
