It's That Time Again....

Well, it is that time again.  There is only a few days left of summer which means the school year is right around the corner.  I am anxious to get back into the classroom with all of the little kiddos, but I have a to-do list that is about a mile long. 

Last year, as a new teacher, I was welcomed into the school....and given a room with no window. Needless to say I felt like I was in a tiny cell removed from the outside world all year round.  This year I get to move into a new classroom WITH a window! I spent the last few days setting my room up and I love my new space! Here is a look into my new room. 

A view of my desk and calendar board

Back Chalkboard, library, and writing center

Writing Center (Haven't put the posters on the blue board yet)

Math manipulative cubbies

Guided Reading Table

C.A.F.E. Reading Board near the guiding reading table

Front rug and bookshelf (learning games, reference books, and community class supplies go on this shelf)

View of the front of the classroom

Classroom Library (On the calendar I list one student's name a day to sit in the special chair during independent reading)

Finally a window!
