Our Classroom

Dun duh duh!

Here it is!

Here are a couple panoramic views. The first is taken from the back of the room at my sink.

 And this next one is taken from the whiteboard.

 I have my kiddos grouped together with their most used supplies in a caddie. I think The plants (fake) really make the space feel more home-y and light.

 From the white board, looking to the right, its out morning meeting area, library, and the table where our student computers will go. Our window brings in so much good lighting! I think there is something magical about a sheer white curtain :)

 I LOVE this chair! My sweet sweet friend and mentor is letting me use this chair and it is so comfortable! It sat in my living room over the summer and was well used there as well. This is our "Author;s Chair." The kiddos love getting to share their writing pieces from this spot. 

 Here's a closer look at our Morning Meeting area. When we meet here in the mornings, our circle resembles more of a looong oval, but we still have a good time!

 I had a hard time giving this wall some purpose. A lot of other teacher's in the building have the decor that they have collected over the years displayed up there. I certainly didn't want to leave it blank, so it is now home to some inspiring words. Im visualizing some classroom snapshots up there as the year progresses. 

I LOVE the wind chime I found at Hobby Lobby! I had a hard time this summer finding one that looked and sounded just right. I found this one TWO days before school started. That was a close call!

 This is in the library, looking toward the door. You can see that my desk is placed in the center of the room. This was very important to me, because I wanted to not only make it accessible to me, but I also wanted to make the whole wall the library. I had a couple challenges in making sure my desk would work here, such as fining internet cables that would extend that far, and finding a way to cover up said cords. I have been very impressed with the responsiveness of our tech department. They ROCK!

 And lastly, here is the view from my desk :)

Here's to a year of laughter, love, and learning!!
