Classroom Tour 2018-2019

Quote from here.

It's time for back to school!  This is year number 14 for me! I can't believe it!

I want to give you all a tour of my room!  You can check out the video tour here.

Here is the picture tour with links when possible.

 

I got the idea for this bulletin board from Pinterest. I actually have more students than I lead you to believe on my bulletin board!

 This is outside of my door.  The top quote is from a book called Each Kindness.  I love to read it at the start of the year.  The letter, I found on Pinterest - which led to this link.  Last year's class LOVED reading it every single day!

 Door decorations (and all the tropical decorations you'll see in my room,) are from Oriental Trading.

 This whiteboard came from the Target Dollar Spot.  (Thanks Target!) 

 

One big view of my classroom! I have a deskless classroom which you can read about here.

 

The item my hall passes are hanging on came from Target.

 

My book corner.

 

My microfiber carpets came from Dormco. They are machine washable!

 

Rest of book corner and some of my flexible seating.

 

My puzzles.

 

 

My hanging bookshelf.  Underneath it are the hooks for backpacks and coats.

 

Storage for papers, centers, and small group items.

 

My desk and my reading group table.  The light blue bins came from Dollar Tree.  My awesome glitter pencil cup came from this website.

 

Sink area.

 

 

Door to my closet.

 

Computer area along with my Caps corner.  If you don't know, the last two years, my students created hockey movies.  Here is movie #1, and movie #2.

 

Calendar and more flexible seating.

 

Whiteboard, clipboards, and the shelves where they keep their folders and pencil boxes.

 

Promethean board and my stage.  The step says, "Step Up To Your Dreams."

 

My growth mindset board.  I bought these off of Teachers Pay Teachers.

 

Bins are from Target.  One set of binders are their data notebooks, one set is for their journal writing, and one set is the guided reading books from Deedee Wills and Deanna Jump.

 

Small group table.

 

Word wall and other storage areas.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope everyone has a wonderful school year! :-)

Happy New Year! 2017-2018

Image / quote from here

It's time for another school year!  This will be my 13th group of kiddos! :-)  This is the third school year for my deskless classroom and I love it!   As always, I'm super excited to see what this school year has in store for us!

School starts on Tuesday and I've been busy getting my room ready.  I wasn't going to have a theme for decorating this year, but that quickly changed.  I have 2 themes,  My main theme is "Rockin the Red," (something we say at Washington Capitals games.)  My other theme is a little tiki hut (which is just in my sink area.)

Here is a video tour of my room.  :-)

Here are pictures of my room.

 Hockey player Clipart came from here.

My students will be expanding on this bulletin board.  Plans include them writing their goals for the year on hockey pucks, designing their own hockey jersey, etc...

I know it's hard to see, but I actually have red garland around my door frame and door. 
I bought the garland from someone on a Facebook online yard sale.

When you walk in, you come to my comfy book corner!

I have Growth Mindset posters in three spots around my room. 
I am going to incorporate that a lot this year.  I purchased these posters from here.

More Growth Mindset posters.

A view of my book corner.

A former teammate gave me this Washington Capitals fabric last year. 
I decided to use it and give my old stools a facelift!

This is the back of my book corner. 
I have some bath mats for flexible seating, puzzles, and three desks.

More Growth Mindset posters.

I love not having desks in my classroom!  I decided to put a doubles ten frame on the floor! 
We use them a lot at the start of the school year and I thought a life sized one would be fun for the kids!

My reading table with my desk behind it. 
Above that is the TJ Oshie poster one of my students made me last year. :-)

My tiki hut!  If you look closely, you might see some blue or green lights.
I bought those from the Dollar Tree!

You do not want to go in my closet!  That desperately needs to be organized!!!
The Partner School banneris from when the Caps organization came out last year! 
You can read about that here.

Puzzle pieces and seat cushions for soft seating!

Front of my room complete with hokki stools, bins, and promethean board! 
The board has the same garland that is on my front door.

I bought the awesome red borders from Amazon!

You might be wondering why if I have a red theme, are two of my bulletin boards blue.  In this case, the backgrounds were already blue and I wanted to keep it that way - I also didn't want to take my word wall down.  I like the red border though - it makes everything POP nicely and keeps the theme with my whiteboards as well.

There ya have it folks!  I hope you enjoyed the tour of my room!
Here's to a fabulous school year!
