Looking down the hallways. They just got painted in our school colors this summer. Aren't they beautiful? And the floors are so shiny. Well, that won't last long!!!
Here's the area outside of my room. This is where students will display their work. Tomorrow the students will decorate their name tags to add to it.
Our door.
A closer look.
The board outside our room showing the homeroom list, the reading group, and our schedule.
Looking into my classroom. Sadly, my boards will remain unfinished for a few days. The laminator tore up this week, can you believe it??? Of all weeks. I will post updated pictures later when it has been fixed and I can add my Focus Wall here.
Our reading rug my sweet son-in-law gave me last year.
Reading area with new blue and green baskets along with my frogs I've been gathering all summer.
The calendar.
Math area. I had a bright idea to paint a RED bookshelf lime green. Put me way behind with my "To Do List" as it took SEVERAL coats of paint. BUT, isn't it bright, cheerful and pretty??
The curtains my mom made me. Thank goodness for great moms. Another bright splash of cheeriness!
Our Word Wall where I will be adding words for my reading group.
Instead of DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read), we're going to have FROG time (Fun Reading is Our Goal.)
A froggy blanket, frogs and basket. This is in the "Book Nook" area so kids can cuddle and get comfy with a good book.
On the other side of "The Book Nook." I hope to encourage students to "Hop Into A Good Book."
The wall behind my reading table with magnets stuck on my new magnetic wall.
Check back for more pictures soon. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow. I have a feeling that I won't be able to sleep very well. I think I'm as excited as you! :-)
