My Classroom Is Ready!

I went back to school this past Monday and sat in meetings, meetings, and even more meetings! We had roughly 6 hours to work in our rooms. So many of us were working weeks before trying to get things ready. I also worked on helping my mentee get set up in her new room. My intern from last school year is also here doing a maternity leave. I couldn't leave her out. I checked in on her quite a bit, but the teacher on maternity leave had everything organized and ready so I didn't have to help out too much. Here are some shots from my classroom:

 

I found this on TpT! It even includes the banner!

 

I relabeled my math tubs with a chevron/chalkboard look. The birthday board will have a picture of the students. I do this the first week of school. I grouped the students by the month of their birthday and take a picture. Their birthday bags are underneath the birthday board.

 

This is the Boggle game for students who finish early or may need to be challenged more.

 

Six-Traits Writing Board

 

I-Families phone (I found this on a first grade blog. Each app is a word family, and we will write the word family words there with a dry erase marker.)

        Cafe Board (I stapled my poms to my bulletin boards

rather than hanging them. The fire marshall has gotten strict

with items hanging from the ceiling.)

 





                                     

 

This is my team! I am in the back in the middle. We took this photo after Open House with our mascot. Did you notice the shirts? I made them for my team! They say "1st Grade Is A Hoot" at the top and below the owl image is our names.

 

 

Have a great weekend! Our little ones come back on Monday!
