Welcome to my 3rd Grade Classroom!
I settled on a "theme" for this year! My color scheme/theme is teal, black, white, and silver STARS. I made this display on the front window of my room (to the right of the photo is my classroom door. The picture is taken from the hallway.). For the letters and stars, I used my school's die cut machine. I drew the bucket myself, and stuffed it with stars to look like it was full. Each white star has a student's name on it. I really like how it turned out! I think it sets the tone for my classroom before you even enter. :)
From the door, looking left, are my student computers and birthday board...
Looking straight in from the door is my carpet and board area. I love having my meeting space up front. So far, we've been spending equal amounts of time at their desks and on the carpet.
The birthday board is a bookshelf that holds our book bins (on the left). That big black bulletin board was quite a project to install.... but I will save that for another post. This bulletin board is covered in fabric, and holds my calendar area, a place to post content and language objectives for each lesson, and the area above will have individual student goals for reading and math.
My guided reading table is towards the back of the room. That blank part of the bulletin board is going to hold reading strategies and story vocabulary.
In the back of the room is the students' hooks and my desk area.
Next to my desk area is where students will turn in work, as well as get supplies they might need throughout the day.
Further down the wall from the supply area is the classroom library. That was quite the project this summer! Read about it here. To the right of the photo is the rainbow carpet in the front of the room.
How have you organized your classroom for the year?
Until next time,
