Classroom Pics 2012-2013

I'm finally sitting down to post some pictures of my classroom set up for this year. Pheeeww! The first two weeks of school have been crazy busy...my sweet class has had to put up with all the craziness of the beginning of year...but they're troopers all 22 of them..and they are absolutely fantabulous!

Okay..so without further delay here are my classroom pics..

small group table..and part of classroom library..this is where the magic happens. ;)

another angle..here you can see the bulletin board that will be full of reading anchor charts..once we get started on those important reading strategies. I {puffy} heart my numbers with 10 frames..it's a great visual for my little firsties.

my dots on chocolate calendar set is awesome! My whole group area is in front of this white board..{no smartboard for this teacher..yet..boo!} but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture {double boo!}

Christie's good listening rules are in my whole group area..my firsties recite them every morning during our morning meeting..and y'all they really help with their behavior on the rug!

Thanks, Christie!!

I'm in love with that "Reading is a Hoot!" bulletin board...can you spot the dots on chocolate border? I'm obsessed..I tell 'ya! ;)

computer center..with more owl decor.

listening center..I want one of those chevron rugs..that my bestie Alisha snagged up at Big Lots for this area..if only we had a Big Lots in my tiny town..{sigh!}

word work center..as you can see from my alphabet  I am OBSESSED with chevron..lovely!

I'm also thinking a small rug in this area would complete the look..though I love my concrete floor..it's hard and cold for my littles.

my writing center bulletin board..looking fabulous thanks to Creative Teaching Press, Cara, and Lindsey. A humoungous thanks goes out to all of them..they make my life as a first grade teacher..a little bit easier. ;)

 

I {puffy} heart my classroom...and I know that lots of learning will take place within these four walls..I hope that everyone has a FABULOUS school year!
