2014-2015 Classroom Tour

This year my whole classroom theme is School Girl Style's Learn Colorfully! I am so thankful I invested in this product. I am still using apples just not as much. I printed this page on the poster setting of Adobe and was able to blow it up.

View as you walk in


Far corner of my room


Looking left in my room



Stop and Drop
This is where my students turn in their assignments. The red bucket will hold the composition notebooks for special classes, the blue bucket will hold the head phones for computers, and then the green bucket at the bottom will hold our snacks. 

Close up of the drawers



Target find! Matches the Learn Colorfully perfectly!


Escape plans with Learn Colorfully border


For discipline my partner teacher and I both use ClassDojo.com. 





These are laminated so I can use a dry erase marker to change the points from year to year. 



Sadly we do not get recess so we have snack at the end of the day and if they get 10 points then they get to sit wherever they would like in the room. 




Math Daily 5 board!!


Rotation board 
This year I'm only doing 4 groups 




Daily 5 reading has CAFE so I came up with SOLVE

Show work


Operations 


Label


Variables


Explain





Information Board


This is also laminated so I can use a dry erase marker to change out each year



I change out jobs every week using a dry erase marker. Number 8 is the alternate this week so they will become the Line Leader next week.


Our school mascot is an eagle so for our school wide positive behavior we SOAR 
Safe
On time
Accountable
Respectful


Again, I use a dry erase maker to add the students names

I set the First day of 3rd grade sign there for you to see. I'll talk a class photo on Monday with them holding the sign. :)

Front board with the directions for the first day of school.  Also, this is a small rug with a body pillow the kids sit at during Daily 5. 


Each table has a number on the desk that tells the students what job they have in their group. 






The Dojo points goal is 200 for the 9 weeks. Each nine weeks the goal increases.
