More Classroom Photos & a Giveaway

So at last... here is what my classroom looks like, full view instead of the closeups of certain boards I posted earlier.

This is the view from the front of the classroom. 

Ignore the water stain on the floor from a spilled water bottle! See the green and yellow striped board... that is the CAFE board. Everything to the left of that is reading/phonics related. And those small black book cases and the one with the globe on top is our classroom library. Everything to the right is the calendar wall. 

Whiteboard Wall

Under the TV (which is not connected) is the teachers desk area. The science board and then the white board. The white board is covered in charts of site words, grammar anchor charts, and vocabulary. Remember - there are two grade levels in this room so you are seeing double for a reason. By the clock is the ASL alphabet. We use ASL for hand gestures and to support language acquisition. There is no teachers desk just the table with the computer on it and the small group table. 

Front of the room

The door is open to the hallway. Here you see where our projector is. This is the main white board we use. Above the teachers desk is the written in schedule. The green line on the board is UoO duct tape! and above the board it says "Win The Day!" and has a number line. Blue desk tags are first grade, orange is second grade. If you look closely you will see the first graders sit in closest to the projector board. 

Back of the Room

This is our storage area. The students mailboxes and book boxes are back there. A sink with a facet and below that cubbies for backpacks. I will explain more about how we group students another day.

The front and back walls are painted yellow and the two side walls are dark green. The bulletin boards are all painted dark green as well. This is room is known as "Oregon Ducks Territory" directly across the hall is the "Packers Room." We can no longer be friends as of next week as I am a bears fan!

 So sad... no football today! =(

Since there is no football game... I am doing a giveaway!! I have had this one in my back pocket for awhile now and am bringing it out. Remember these??
