A Peek into My Classroom

My first day of back at work is quickly approaching. Teachers report back on August 6th, we have a meet and greet on August 7th and students begin on the 9th. I have been back to my classroom a total of four times so far, and today I finally feel like it is all coming together. Here is a peek into my 4th grade classroom.

This is a shot from my front door.

Here is my Behavior Board, which I follow a 3 strikes you're out rule.

The homework board

The Agenda board


The Reading Focus Wall
This is a new bulletin board for me, hopefully I or the students can stay consistent with updating it each week.

Here is a rough looking bookcase in my room. I am contemplating on whether I should paint it apple red like my other book shelf in the back. It was originally in the back of my room, but I moved it to the front so my class library is more accessible to the students. I still have a lot of work to do on the library.



 I have not decided what I am going to do with the big bulletin board yet, any ideas? The two smaller ones I am going to use to track my stwo classes Interval scores.


Here is a better look at the back of my room.


Here is my biggest project today! My version of the Daily Five or my Six. I am really happy with the way it came out, considering last year it was all handwritten on chart paper.


My college wall, which is still a work in progress. I am hoping to get more information from colleges around Louisiana in the upcoming weeks.


This is my TEACHER'S DESK! Can you believe it. All of my everyday supplies are underneath. The top is currently housed with stuff I need to trash or put up on the class wall. It will soon house the ELMO and my laptop.



My rules for the iPads
Love them you can get them at Soaring Through Second's Blog



My Postcard Exhcange board and Trucker Buddy board


Here are a few boxes of miscellanouss itmes I still need to go through.

Another and last look at my classroom from the back.



Have you been back into your classroom yet?
Any ideas for my last bulletin board?

  3. Thanks for sharing your room with us! It is clear you have done a lot of work preparing for the arrival of your students. Looks like a great place to learn! I am wondering if you could share your rules for the ipads? We will have 2 in our class this year and I'm interested to learn what I should anticipate.

    For your last bulletin board: I have always wanted to try a class collage. Kids can post their favorite work or bring in tickets to shows they have attended during the year or brochures from places they have visited, a favorite picture...just something fun. What do you think.

    Thanks so much for sharing.

  5. Looks great! I need your iPad rules... I have 3 iPods and 3 iPads in my room! For the last bulletin board, how about News? Class news, family news, student news? Awards, pictures, newspaper clippings? I have one in my room and I love it!

  7. WOW! I can't believe you have to go back so soon...
    Our staff will return on the 16th and I feel the time slipping away...

    Some ideas for the other bulletin board: Student work, "Friends & Family" or "School Family"-type board with pics of each student, Writing or Reading Strategy board -- oh, the possibilities are endless! :)
    I always do a "Mrs. Cade Loves..." and put up pictures and items I love, so the students will get to know me better. The students (and visiting parents) really enjoy it!

    I love the STARS and your colors look great! Keep up the terrific work.
