This month I am doing my classroom reveal! I have been in school for two weeks now, so waiting to reveal my room has been a real struggle! This year I accepted a new position in a new district. I am teaching 5th Grade ELA. It was an exciting move. My new staff is amazing and I'm loving my new district.
Without further ado, lets take a look!
In my classroom I have this display case area. It is like a window, but can be used for storage. It is the only storage in my room. I decide to cover the window with a curtain and a banner! Then the area is used for storage. You can't see the items that I have in there, so its a nice way to kind of hide it.
When you walk into my room and start looking from right to left, you will see my READ 180 area. I will be using READ 180 for my intervention Reading program. I am teaching the intervention students and the others will go to a different 5th grade teacher.
This is slowly becoming one of my favorite tools! This is my 6th year teaching, and I am very techy. This is my first year with a smart board. Took a little bit to get used to, but it is a great tool!
You can also see that I have a small group reading area set up in the other corner. I love kidney shaped tables!!
My students are set up in teams! Each member has a job. The posters on the wall that you can see, explain those jobs. I will blog about that at a later time :) Under my windows are my book shelves. They are built into the classroom! It makes storing books so much easier. I didn't need as much furniture for my classroom. Sorry, that I didn't zoom in more. Maybe another post. I came home to blog and remembered that my pictures were kind of far away. I won't be back in my classroom for a week because we are going to camp!
This is my desk area. I have a computer table and a desk. There is also a book shelf in the corner that holds my teacher books and binders. I also have a smaller shelving unit on the wall. I've put a bunch of trinkets in there.
I said that I love kidney tables! I have two of them. For reading, I will be co-teaching with the Title I teacher. We will both need space for small group work. One came with the room, and I was given the other one. The bulletin board behind the table is one of my favorites. It is a display area for my writers. I will be posting student writing there soon! They have officially finished their first piece of writing.
The last area of my classroom. I have a cart with chrome books for my students to use! It is so nice to be able to utilize technology. I am trying to use Google Classroom with them for writing.
