Pictures...Finally!

So the first few weeks have been busy and exhausting! I am finally getting a chance to post some pictures.

So here is a picture of my Kissing Hand board.

 This will be my board for my student of the week.

 This is an activity my grade level does to talk about rules. We make this project after reading David Goes to School and creating our classroom rules.

 We write some of our rules inside the school house.

 Here is on of the Thinking Maps we've introduced. We used a circle map to make a list of things they can do.

 This is my "explorer" board. I've displayed The Three Little Pigs activity. We describe each house.

 Here is the inside.

 Here is the close up of the front of the activity. They had to draw the straw house, sticks house and bricks house.

Classroom Photos Linky Party

Just wanted to thank ALL of you that participated in the Linky Party. I sure did have a great time looking at your pictures and am ready to implement some great things I saw when I return to school in 1 1/2 weeks. And as soon as my room is "SET UP" again, I will share pictures of my "nest" and what my room looks like. As I mentioned, my classroom hardly ever looks the same. Plus I will be in the "other" room. I am in one room for 2 months, have vacation, and then return into the room next door. Yeah! So much fun...lol! It helps me to keep my room and closets somewhat organized...or at least I try.



Always First Grade

Classroom Photos Linky Party

Hey All,

I thought it would be fun to share our classroom photos.  To join this Linky Party, just post a pic or more of your classroom and tell about them. I work at a charter school that is currently year round. We have a modified concept 6 calendar which means I am on 2 months and off 1. Every time I go "off-track" I have to clean up my room so that the teacher coming in can set it the way she wants to. This mean that my room hardly ever looks the SAME. Here are a few pictures what my rooms have looked like....

 

This was my door on the first day of school. Every time I go back "on track" I make a new door display. 

 

This is our meeting/calendar area. I use Saxon math. 

On the bottom left side you can see a blue basket. The basket is full of puppets and stuffed animals. The kids use them as reading buddies. 

The long blue chart you see on the board is where I keep table points. The little red thing underneath holds the circle did-cuts. I got it at the Dollar Tree. I love it because it is magnetic. They had two different sizes. I use them for lots of stuff.  

 

These are SOME of my personal books I use as our classroom library. If you notice, there is a green bucket on the shelf. I incorporate "Have You Filled a Bucket Today" as part of my management in addition to the clip chart you see on the right. The kids get a fuzzy when every one is on green at the end of the day. When the bucket is full they will get the surprise inside the bag.

 

I use my closet doors as our word wall. We only put up MacMillan Treasure's high frequency words. Each unit is a different color.
 

 

I try to do a read aloud everyday. Then the following day the students vote whether or not they would recommend it to a friend.

 

 

Here is a picture of my teacher station. It has a document camera that projects to a BIG screen. I also have a laser printer, DVD player, VHS player, and my laptop also projects to the screen. I just love it!

 

Here are 3 of the 7 iMacs we have in our classroom. The kids use them daily for iStation (RTI program), starfall, and other programs. 

Please share pictures of your wonderful classrooms. Can't wait to see them!
