Word Wall with Math Strategies above. Book boxes and school supply boxes (all from Target) in the cubbies below.
Next to the word wall is the rest of our math wall and where the kiddos hang up their backpacks and jackets. On the adjoining wall is an area for student work that desperately needs to be switched up. Those foldables have been up for an embarrassingly long time.
Next to the student work display is a dry erase board and then my small group table and teacher area.
Opposite the word wall is the main focus board with our calendar & materials, hundreds chart, money posters, and our birthdays by month. Then we have our library with our daily 5 posters, various anchor charts (fancy words, peer-edit comments, reader's workshop), and our CAFE area. (Don't mind the huge shape in blue tape on the floor - we are starting area this week.)
And that brings us to our Science and Word Family areas. This will soon be transformed to an aquarium like area for our Ocean Unit that is on display for Open House.
I created two new items this week that took me quite a while. The first is a schema board that I am using during our classroom discussions when we start a new unit. The second is a Nonfiction Text Features anchor chart with pictures that briefly explain what each feature is used for. Since we're starting our ocean unit, both have been greatly used the past week. My kids will be selecting an ocean animal to research so the nonfiction chart will be referenced every day until Spring Break. (which is only 19 school days away!!!!)
That's all I've got, how'd you like that? Shout out to Kelli Raspberry!
