More Pictures

I took a few pictures of things I intended to include with my first classroom pic post but forgot.

I had a dead wall space area in the room that needed a little "oomph" so I decided to use the monogram art letters from Schoolgirl Style. This is the area right above Ricky Bobby's cage.

Our class share chair. This is where students sit to share anything from writing to show and tell goodies. A teacher who retired last year had this and I couldn't resist it.

When students take a book from the class library, they clip their clothes pin somewhere on the basket so they know where to return when finished. I found this idea on Pinterest. So far so good with this system! 

My district uses McGraw Hill reading curriculum. At the beginning of each week we discuss the meaning of our vocabulary words and come up with a visual reminder whole group. I first learned this idea at a Debbie Diller workshop I attended my first year of teaching. Students love to act out the definitions during learning stations.
