So, it doesn't really look like this now, but here's what the room looked like in August!
 |
| Silent Reading Zone |
 |
| My Promethean Board |
 |
| Each student has a hanging file folder with his or her number on it. When we read a novel as a class, the kids store their copy of the book in the folder that is labeled with their number. |
 |
| I started off the year with 28 6th graders on my roster-so thankful to be down to 19! |
 |
| The back of the classroom (you can see part of the seating area in the library). |
 |
| Writer's Cafe center |
 |
| Another view of the Silent Reading Zone |
 |
| My desk (when you could actually still see it) |
 |
| View of the room from my desk |
 |
| The closet doors are covered with giant posters for ISATs (reading extended response sentence stems, literary terms, and math extended response framework) |
 |
| I also have small motivational quote posters that I made on the closets. |
 |
| The frames are vinyl decals that can be repositioned, and they don't leave a mess! |
 |
| A few more posters |
What a wonderful and welcoming room. I can see that you've spent many days getting things ready and the students are fortunate to have a teacher so committed to their cause.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have such a large room but you've made great use of the space :)
I hope you'll take a few days to rest before the real adventure begins because then we need unlimited energy. Enjoy your year and hopefully our gr6 students can connect with yours in a Mystery Skype experience or something.
Where did you get all of the lovely, fun, and comfortable reading furniture?
ReplyDeleteLove your writing area! I think I am going to model mine to something similar to this!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the tables for the writing area? Those are a perfect size!
