Classroom Pictures {2014}!!!

My favorite time of the year is here, sharing classroom pictures!! One of my all time favorite things about teacher blogs is getting a glimpse into other teachers’ classrooms! I love that I can visit so many wonderful classrooms and never even have to change out of my PJs 😉 I waited a couple of weeks before taking pictures of my classroom so that the walls weren’t totally bare! I am SO excited to share them with you today!

 

 

Where the learning happens! I love our meeting place!

This is where we have our students gather in the morning, and before we start a lesson.

The clothesline hangs across the room to hold various projects. I am obsessed with it! It makes our room like so cheerful! We made those adorable self portraits during the first week of school. You can find the idea {here} and the templates {here}.

 

This board houses our monthly dictation. Each month, we take a picture with a cute prop, complete a sentence frame and illustrate our drawings. At the end of the year, we put all the pages together into a cute memory book. It’s fun to look back and see all the growth that occurred during their kindergarten year! {those extra spaces are for new students! Can you believe we started out the year with only 26 kiddos!?}

 On the first day of school, we read Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten and wrote about how we got ready for kindergarten! Then we took a picture holding our K for kindergarten 🙂

 

We also learned all about shapes! You can grab these shape poems by clicking the image at the end of this post. I printed them two to a page so they are a little smaller.

 

 

 

Here’s another bulletin board for more student work. I love the color combo on this one!

 

Our Wonderful Word Wall! We will add lots of words to it all year long!

The board behind it has our 100’s chart for calendar, our daily schedule, and our writing posters!

 

 

 And here’s a look at our adorably beautiful calendar wall {if I do say so myself ;)}

The black and white banner is from the party aisle at Target! It’s meant to be used as a chalkboard banner, but I glued bulletin board letters onto it instead. To read more about how we do calendar in our classroom {click here}.

The calendar set is from Creative Teaching Press.

 

As part of our school wide PBIS, we worked together as a class to illustrate the first rule of our school, “Stop, Think and Solve.” Each table group worked together to come up with a way to “Stop, Think and Solve” in our classroom. Then they illustrated the picture. They always turn out so cute!

 And finally, I updated our sharp and dull pails with cute little signs and ribbon and I love how they turned out!

Hope you enjoyed the little tour!
