Teacher Week - WHERE do you teach?

Hello Friends,

Today I am sharing WHERE I teach. I am sharing pictures, but we haven't had our first day of school yet, so things are a bit bare. You also might see some things sitting out on counters or tables that won't be there when my kiddos arrive!

Okay...... This is a view of my whole classroom from the inside entrance.

This is a view of my classroom from the other side.

Here are my two cozy and fun reading nooks...

I love my window! The curtains are wrapping paper with border trim. This is my first year in a LONG time that I will have a fish tank in my classroom... fingers crossed that they survive!

I have had an organized classroom library for a few years, but this year, I changed its arrangement. I wanted to make the books easily accessible for my kiddos.

My Word Wall is going to be on my white board this year. It is magnetic and it is my hope that my students are able to grab the words they need much easier than where they were last year.

This is my small group table. I am looking forward to using Kim Adsit's wonderful idea to cover tables with a vinyl tablecloth. I added small plastic grips at even intervals around the table. I am HOPING that they will define the space around the table. Last year, when I brought kiddos back to me, they practically sat on each other's laps! I'll let you know if this works!

This is our technology table. It is not totally set up. I will have 2 iPads, 2 old Mac iBooks, and a MacBook Pro. I also will still have a CD/cassette tape player!

Lastly..... I am lucky to have a sink in my classroom, but I do not like the unsightly look of the cabinet area under the sink. So, I purchased a small spring rod and added a paper curtain that matches the window curtains. I'm not sure how long PAPER will last under sink, but right now, it's nice!
