Pre-week has been very busy, I've been preparing everything for the first week of school, meeting incoming students, and putting the finishing touches on my classroom. Below I have added a few classroom update photographs.
This is my classroom mailbox, I added student names to the mailbox by hot gluing laminated construction paper onto binder clips. This is going to make changing names for the following year a breeze, just pull off the laminated construction paper and switch the name out.
Personal mission statement for the coming school year, displayed in the classroom.
Room arrangement for open house, each "station" contained information for parents to fill out, it helped with the flow of incoming parents and allowed me to speak with each of them about their child.
Photograph taken of the front view of my classroom on the night of open house.
Just a little finesse for my leveled reader baskets- I found the quatrefoil ribbon for a dollar at Michael's and hot glued them to the front of the baskets before hot gluing the labels.
Reading street focus wall with Dr. Seuss headings, updated clock labels, and personal mission statement display.
