Classroom Tour: Teacher Week 2015

My students came back to school on August 24th. I moved classrooms, and grade levels, this summer. Here is a tour of my classroom.

Here is my old coffee table made into a white board table. 

The black bins are holding my Math Centers for the week. I can store them there and just take them to the Center areas when we need them.

Here is my white board and Smart Board area. The baskets under the board are Book Baskets for the students to use.

This is my Calendar Area where students review Math skills.

This is on the counter and it is where the students turn in their work.

The desks are in 5 groups. I have a lot of storage in the cabinets. I made the "DREAM" sign from cardboard letters from JoAnn Fabrics.

This is a view from the back of the room.

This is one of the Center tables near our Class Library.

Here is where I keep the Social Studies supplies and books.

The Word Wall is in this area. 

The Math manipulatives are on the left in the back.

Each group of desks has a set of these bins.

This is part of our  Class Library.

Classroom Reveal 2015

I finally have my room done! Yeah! There are still a lot of little things I want/need to do, but I feel like my room looks done enough for Meet the Teacher which comes on our first day back. After Meet the Teacher, I plan to get some of the small things done.

I switched rooms (and grade levels this year). So, I wanted to change things up a little bit, but be able to use some of the things I bought a couple years ago when I went with a turquoise and lime green theme.

I found this set by Schoolgirl Style.

 I love the colors! And my turquoise and lime green bins fit right in. I added some navy blue and chevron print to what I already had.

Here are some pictures:

The bulletin board on the left is where I will hang student work and put the Math skills we are working on. Our rules are on the top of the bookshelf. The math manipulatives are on the shelves. There were still boxes to be taken out on the floor in front of the bookshelf when I took this picture. 

Under the clock, I have 2 small pocket charts for my Math Center rotations. Under those pocket charts are my books.

This is the Calendar area. The wire shelves to the right will be cubbies for the students' backpacks. I plan to hang anchor charts on the back of the wire, which will help to hide the cubbies.

This is the board at the front of the room. The Book Baskets are on the shelf under the board. 

The Word Wall is on the bulletin board above the green shelves. On the right is the Science bulletin board (on the front of the cabinets). The short table is one of the Center areas. There are pillows under the table for the students to use. 

This is my tiny Social Studies bulletin board. This round table will be used for Centers. The easel on the left will be for our "Daily Data" questions. 

Here is a view from the back of the room.

This table will be used as another Center area.

These cabinets hold a lot of my teaching supplies. Students will turn in their work in the basket on the counter under the green arrow.My Teacher Manuals are behind the striped cloth.Our Class Schedule will go in the black pocket chart.
