I am SO EXCITED to show you all my classroom space!
As you may know, I have made the transition from upper elementary (4th, 6th, and 3rd) to FIRST GRADE and I am SO pumped!
A few notes as you tour my classroom--- We are using flexible seating, which means no individual desks and LOTS of options for seating. Some of the furniture was provided through a grant my team wrote. Other furniture was bought by me, on a budget! Our first grade team is also piloting Personalized Learning, where students take ownership of their learning and use technology to reach their goals. Ready? Here we go!!
Your first glimpse into my room is this window- complete with a picture of little Miss Woodward. :)
Our classroom uses community supplies. Each table has a bucket of sharpened pencils and erasers for work time. Students have the option of using any material for projects at any time. They just need to grab a bucket and return it when finished. :)

Look to the right and you will see our lounge area. Table and white chairs from IKEA, and couch through the grant. Word wall is located behind the couch.
Our moon stools (all lightweight and move-able!) are from the grant. The TV is from the principal to promote technology use in Personalized Learning. It's attached to an Apple TV. Lots of options for technology integration! The lovely crate stools made by *yours truly* for the guided reading/guided math table.

I do not have a teacher desk in my classroom. I usually use the kidney table as a work space, and the grey and black stand the lamp is on to store desk stuff. Those lovely clear drawers were a birthday gift from my parents (!) and are used as mailboxes for my kiddos.
Another view of the guided reading table and manipulative bins.
I am still in love with my SitSpots!! Another IKEA table and a few stools make a cozy little work space. You can also see my floor table (took the legs off!) and IKEA cushions (in the green bin) for kids to sit or kneel on the floor.
You guys, I'm so in love with this classroom!
I can't wait to see all of the learning take place in this space!
