Class Reveal 2015

I am so pumped about this year! There is something special about the start of a new school year; meeting new kiddos, getting to know new families and making MANY memories with each and every student! Just like every year there are a million things on my to do list, multiple "worries" and a few "can I do this?" moments.  But like every year everything comes together and ALWAYS works out.

I went up to school yesterday and did my final walk through and made sure plans were ready (for at least Monday & Tuesday) and I must say I felt a calm, peacefulness about this week. I am ready! 

Here's the view from the door.

 Reading corner and writing station

A close up of my reading corner.

I'm liking this new writing center. ;)

Mailboxes, word work drawer to the left and math station tubs below the table.

Student book boxes with my new black & bright number labels.

(They're in my shop as a freebie!)

 Calendar, Ten Frames and Odd & Even numbers from Reagan's Facebook freebie!

I'm excited to have new class jobs this year! I especially LOVE the Melonheadz :)

This product is currently marked down through the weekend.

 Family pics are a MUST.

One thing I forgot to show when I scoped about this was my outdoor flexible learning space.  Students are able to come out into the hallway during Daily 5 or math stations. It makes the classroom a LOT less crowded and gives students some independence. And an opportunity to make good choices. ;)

 Locker tags are my new favorite!

I LOVE seat sacks.  They have been a lifesaver for me this past year.  Since my students don't have desks, these are easy to grab items from and they hold a few folders and journals.

This is my teaching area, my easel (two sided), chair and doc cam.

I love having the word wall right behind me during small groups and to the right I'll be hanging my "word helpers" posters on the cabinets.

I can't wait to update you all after a few weeks once the class has been "lived in" and we have anchor charts and student work hanging, it'll be a lot cuter then!

I scoped my classroom reveal and if you'd like to see a more detailed look you can check it out here. 

Thanks for stopping by, please leave a comment I love hearing from you guys!

Good luck on your first week... and remember 

THEY MAY FORGET WHAT YOU SAID BUT THEY WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL!

Have a great school year my friends!
