With the new school year about to begin, I find myself struggling to get back onto routine of getting up before 7 am and getting my now 4 month old daughter ready for daycare. However, before all of that begins, I get to set up my room and spend some time prepping for the school year with my other grade level teachers. Over the summer, my room was made a little smaller :( so I had to rethink how my room was going to look.
Here are some pictures of my room (and yes they are not done cleaning up).
After spending all day working on my room, I have to say that I am pleased with the outcome. I have some last minute additions to add next week but those are small things.
My reading corner was the biggest challenge. I decided to reorganize and label my books. I found these really cute labels from Missing Tooth Grins and decided on her chalkboard labels. After my books were organized and labeled I did a little decorating. I fell in love with my new chairs when I saw them at Walmart. I was getting tired of my old beanbags.
I then moved onto my writing corner. This is a relaxing part of the classroom where the students can free write. There is a word wall posted for them to reference to. I love the alphabet cards I got on teachers pay teachers.
Here are some of my storage areas of my room.
I have a few finishing touches left to do, but I am so happy with how my room turned out this year.
