This Year's Classroom

I put streamers up for Meet the Teacher Day and took them down for the first day of school. Enjoy!

This is the view from my desk area. My students sit in groups of four to start the year.

My classroom library contains 2500 plus children's books. The library was "under construction" until I could teach the kids about proper care for our books.

The carpet area where we have our morning meeting and regular read-alouds. The crate stools are homemade. I got the idea from another first grade classroom. They will hold our tools that we need for mini-lessons that take place on the carpet.

My Art Center and Buddy Reading located behind it. Notice the bags hanging in the background. Each one of those contains two of the same book so that kids can practice reading together. This picture is a little bit dark because it was taken facing the huge windows in my classroom- another amazing blessing.
