It's been a slow go in the classroom here lately. I feel like I've gotten a ton done, but it's mostly just putting things where they go, making centers, and a ton of FILING! While I feel much more organized, there hasn't been much to show y'all. I have gotten a few things put up though.
I put up my new classroom rules.
This is my new behavior system. I did this two years ago and I think I like this better than what I did last year. I haven't finished yet and when I do, I'll explain it in more detail!
Don't you just love these cupcakes?? They are a clipart file by Jessica Weible. I love them!
I still feel like there is so much left to do, but I can finally see it coming together and starting to look like a classroom. I'm getting so excited about going back to school! I mailed out my postcards to my kids last week. I was so happy to find out that the post office had kid friendly stamps. Don't they make the postcards so much cuter?
We go back next week, but kids don't come back until the 20th. When do y'all go back? :)
Leslie Ann...your room is beautiful. I am in love!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour room looks wonderful, I am jealous that you were able to paint. I go back on September 4th and my kids start the 5th. This year we can't get back in our rooms to work until August 20th. We only get 8 days to work in our rooms this year (our district is closed on Fridays during the summer).

Your room looks wonderful!! I love the green ottomans!! I am so psyched that they have kid friendly stamps for postcards. My postcards will be going out at the beginning of next week & that is a great idea! :)

Learning Is Something to Treasure
I love the postcards and ottomans! What do you write on your postcards home to the students? I'm a first year teacher and I want to send a little something home next week in the packets my schools sends to families. I want something for the parents and then something separate for the students. Any suggestions???

your class looks fantastic!!!! I'm getting lots of idea to set up my class.
ReplyDeletethe thing is here in spain i will only have 3 days to prepare everything before the kids arrive...We start the 3rd and the kids come the 6th... it's going to be crazy those three days
I love your seating at you computer area. I saw those at Walmart but they were $30.00 each. I don't have ANY type of budget at school so I'd have to fork out the money and that was too much for me!
