2013 Classroom Tour

August 13, 2013 By Rachel

So I have a disclaimer because my classroom is nowhere near ready in my opinion.  It was the end of the day yesterday…I was tired and hot…so I apologize for the picture quality.  I hope to take better pictures and share them when it’s all finished.  So here we go…
 Looking in from the door
My Social Studies board!
 Schedule & Calendar
 My desk & small group table
 Close up of my desk
 teacher wall
 Book box shelf, supply drawers, and Data Folders
 How We Get Home Chart, Behavior Chart (still needs a heading), Rules 
 Happy Birthday Chart & Turn In Bins
 Math Centers & Science wall
 Computer Area
 
 Math Wall and Picture Books
Chapter book area
 Looking from windows to door
 We are getting tables to replace all of our old desks this year!  So I decide to go ahead and be prepared for the lack of space.  The drawers will hold notebooks and textbooks for each class.  Of course supply baskets on top.
 View from my table.  Gosh, the walls look so bare.  Soon they will be filled with anchor charts and songs!
Speaking of songs…I made containers (idea totally stolen from The Third Wheel’s gift she sent!) to hold the Popsicle sticks that have our songs written on them.
 Seriously…not finished…and bad pictures…again I apologize.  I promise I’ll take better ones when I’m not rushing!  Have a great day and stay tuned to more Teacher Week ’13!

Day 2 of Teacher Week over at Blog Hoppin’

      Your room looks AWESOME!

      We don't start until after Labor Day so my room is still in a state of flux. Your pictures have given me some good ideas. 🙂

      I like your teacher wall. It is set up so cute. Also I am really digging the bright chevron rug. Where did you find it at?

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    6 ways to get your students participating in your 6 ways to get your students participating in your lessons!
1️⃣ Think Time - giving your students time to think about the answer keeps your over achievers from answering all the questions 
2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
