2014 Classroom Reveal

So, after weeks of work that included a complete classroom decor makeover, I am FINALLY ready to reveal my classroom! BUT FIRST, a blast from the past--

1st Grade Classroom 2013-2014

4th Grade Classroom 2011-2012

Alright, here it is!!!! My 1st grade classroom for 2014-2015:

Welcome to my hallway! This is the brand new bulletin board right outside my classroom door.

The giant letters idea came from Doodle Bugs Teaching and I made them using my Silhouette Cameo. A worthy investment, in case you are interested.

View into my classroom from the hallway! (blue rug from Target)

Word Work containers that will be leveled/differentiated.

Sight word list mastery board

Book bags

 Outside door, reading/partner activity corner (rug from Sam's Club)

View from the outside door

2013 Classroom Reveal!

Well, I wasn't going to reveal my classroom today AND I already posted about something else today BUUUTTTT I just realized that today is the day to reveal your room! So onto the bandwagon, I go.

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, welcome to my classroom!!

View from my outside door--SO sorry about the lighting! :/

The other side of the door. Popcorn words will start to appear when the kids come. They read one word each time they walk out of the door.

Look left when you come in and see this! I made the art on the wall and found the butterflies on clearance at Michaels.

You can get the alphabet print here.

Reading area and math board.

I made the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom number posters--you can find them by clicking below.

Reading/phonics manipulatives shelf

Reading area, calendar/whole group area, classroom library, Writers of the Week table

Part of the library and math manipulatives storage

Calendar board

A little library decor. You can read about the READ sign here. ;)

My area is in the corner back there.

Ahem--ignore the mismatch desks. Priorities, people.

Love my polka dot door!

Small group table with birthday board behind it.

Writing center and Amazing Authors board! Each student will have a place to display their best work.

Excited about my fun writing bulletin board!

I have made the headers available to you in a few different formats. First up, is chalkboard style (SO hot right now!):

Or you can choose chevron:

Or you can go with plain paper:

2 small group tables (view from my area)

AR bulletin board--maximizing my space and keeping it simple.

Spelling activities

Student mailboxes

Bucket for lost manipulatives, cards, letter tiles, etc.

Went in yesterday and the letter V was missing!! I found it in the lost pieces bucket to the left....not sure how it ended up all the way over there, but at least I know the bucket works. ;)

Writers of the Week bulletin board, reading buddies in the basket, book bags, and lunch tickets in the pocket chart.

Thanks for coming to my classroom!!! :)
