Classroom Reveal 2014





Classroom Reveal 2014

This year I have finally graduated from Kindergarten and moved to First Grade!  I am ready for new adventures!  Since I switched grade levels, my classroom changed too.  I had been in the same spot since my school opened in 2005.  Room 102.  With moving on up (da da da da, to the east side), I moved down the hallway and on the opposite side.  Room 109.  I love looking out the window and seeing the sun.  Before my classroom faced our breezeway.

Are you ready to see my room?  I kept my zebra theme but added something to it to change it up a little bit. 

Ready??

Set????



Go!!!!!

Since I switched classrooms, I realized just how much junk I had.  I ended up throwing so much away!

Good bye junk!!!

Here are some before pictures!

Yep, that is correct!  I have a lot of junk.  Too bad I didn't take a picture of when I first moved in there and I had a great big mountain of my things.

Now I am going to show you around my room.  First up is my CAFE board and my Word Wall!  As you can tell, my theme is black and white/zebra print/mustaches.

Beside the Calendar, I have my Spelling Words and Sight Words display.  I used my great Silhouette Portrait to make the Spelling Words and the Sight Words sign.  They will stay on my board all year and I will write the words under them.

On the other side of my dry erase board I have my Objectives and my Daily 5 browsing boxes.

Beside my Writing table, I have a sink.   Above the sink I am going to put the PowerPix.  I labeled the area with a mustache.  Of course!!

My Fan"tache"tic Improvers Wall.  The students will earn their sticker and place on the small mustache paper.  Once they earn so many stickers, the will clip their clothespin on the Improvers Wall.  Then the students will earn more stickers and again once they reach the correct number, they will move their clothespin up.

Getting Ready for Back to School 2014

I have started back working in my classroom getting it all ready for first grade.  I have so much to do.  Here are some things I have been working on.  

This year I wanted to make a new Birthday Chart that wouldn't take up too much room.  This is what I decided to make. 

Here are the materials. 


This is how my Birthday Chart turned out. 

I love how it turned out.  Each month I will flip the black card. I listed all my kiddos birthdays.

My room's theme is black and white, zebra print, with mustaches. After I cleaned out tons of trash! 



I found I had numerous crates.  I decided to make a shelf with them for my guided reading area.  Since I switched grade levels, I got different classroom furniture.  I am used to having lots of shelves, but first grade doesn't have them.  So, I decided I would make some.  The crates I had were orange, red, and yellow.  That just wasn't going to work in my classroom of black and white. So I knew I needed to paint them.  (I forgot to take a picture at the beginning)


This is how my crate shelf turned out.  I love it.  It is functional and pretty.  Next time I will check out Wal-mart first because their crates were on sale and I would have spent less buying new ones than painting the ones I had. 


I have been trying to figure out how I am going to display my objectives.  This is what I decided to make. I got a big picture frame with clear plastic. Then I used my Silhouette to make the letters. 


I love how it turned out.  I just hope the clear plastic works.               


 Are you needing some new items for a new school year?  I know I do.  My store is having a sale!
                   
Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Wolfelicious Day!!
