Our Classroom

School has just started! We are in session and here is a sneak peek into my beginning stages.

I tried to be thoughtful and resourceful with the things that I had already.

This is our first day look....

The kids and I will share the computer area

The back area of the room. We have table arrangements with open seating. (For now)

My door. Sorry about the sideways pic. I didn't edit it. :)

Entrance way with my Teacher mailbox (the basket), signup for parents, and schedule for them to know what we are doing. 

This is what the classroom looks like from the doorway.

Our class doorway.

                                                   The writing and discovery area.

                                        Featured books for kids to freely browse in the morning

                                                            Our meeting area

                        Library easel and other bookshelves on the other part of the rug area

                           Word Wall accessible for kids to reach and touch throughout the year

We have a tree that I want to continue to build and put twinkle lights on to add ambiance. Also it is out dramatic play area that is going to be opening soon as a house keeping center.

The block area that includes books and other things to add to depth to building exploration

The back of the classroom with an art easel, sink and aquarium. I plan for our back of the classroom to have animals such as a tortoise, snail aquarium, beta fish, and hermit crab. We'll see how that goes...

Our classroom looks pretty bare because I want the kids to make it their own.  It is a work in progress.
