Welcome to Our Dining er Classroom

We took the leaf out of our dining room table this week to create a place to call school. I think that must be important for me while I create my rhythm because I couldn't get past the need. I included a few creature comforts that I felt really worked with my classroom kids so we went to Lowe's and bought 2 sheets of Georgia Pacific Wainscoting called Mark R Board and 3 pipe insulators to create a wall length bulletin/white board. The board includes...

• The Pledge
• Teaching Calendar
• Place Value Straws
• Teaching Clock
• Money Pics and Plastic coins
• Magnet Board
• 100's Chart
• ABC chart
• USA map
• Continent map
• Room to Write schedules & memory work, etc.
  

We are also using window clings for weather, days, months, color words,
special topics.

I took a bulletin board and put it on top of a student desk to create a discovery space for our special topics (ants & insects this month). The walls are lined with book baskets. It is pretty exciting.
G really loves the Weather Duck and the dry erase markers.


Now to just find that rhythm! I know it's around here somewhere.
