Up and Running



Beginning of school hall display.  Student pictures and
 writing project will be added when completed.



Students rotate in groups to complete various assignments.
I used scrapbooking paper to create backdrops for displaying students'
work.  Cups on desks contain pencils, checking pen, highlighter, and
scissors for easy access and an office feel.

Sunflowers provide a cheery theme throughout the room.
A garden bench is a favorite reading nook for students.

Chair covers with pockets add additional storage for students.
A writing journal and library book are always ready.



A rocking chair is an invitation for a good teacher read-aloud.
Teacher work area includes a fridge and microwave for that morning
cup of coffee and left-overs for lunch.



It's not your grandma's classroom.  Technology includes a SmartBoard.
It take some practice, but an it's an amazing teaching tool.

Students work in groups and rotate to different stations throughout
 the reading period.  Whiteboards are changed daily to detail the expectations
 for each station.
