| Picture my student surprised me with for Teacher of the Year. Now it proudly hangs outside my door to greet new students! |
I was able to get my room completely set up this week. Here are some snippets of the room. I'll post the complete reveal Monday after the first day of school!
 |
| The Art Room |
 |
| I made table markers! |
 |
| Carpet area with easel, velcro board and felt board (stored right now) for K-2. |
 |
| What's featured on the velcro board: The Rules and Procedures. |
 |
| The "Art Gallery" behind my desk is a work in progress. |
 |
| Close up of bulletin board. |
 |
| Bulletin Board of art from around the world. |
 |
| Free Draw and Reading Center. |
 |
| Rules board in Front of Class. |
 |
| Behavior Chart. |
 |
| Work Time Noise Monitoring. The black arrow is where I would like them to be. The red arrow is where the noise level is. The more they keep the arrows together, the better score they get on the behavior chart. |

I love your carpet area - I don't have a space like that in my room. And I may must steal the noise monitor - clever idea!
I'm curious about all the Spanish - do you have a lot of bilingual students, or do you have a theme planned that relates to Spanish-speaking cultures?
By the way - on my blog I posted a response to your question about my big schedule -how I made it (the key is the posterboard sold in packs of 3 at Staples that has a very light 1/2" grid on it, making it easier to make big charts/signs.)
Yes we have a huge Spanish speaking population. We have a couple students speaking polish and other languages. Ideally I would like to have Arabic and Polish up too which I will work on in future years. It's good to for me to start to learn another language too! I took a lot of French in school which has now proven to be a waste of time! I haven't used that idea for a noise monitor but from what I know it might just work! Especially when attached to their point chart.
Thanks for the tip on the schedule I love it. I really want to do that. I might put velcro on the back of the blocks because they get switched a lot in the beginning of the year. LOVE YOUR ROOM! and of course your blog.
The feeling's mutual - love your blog too!
The velcro sounds like a great idea - I have lots of switcheroos for field trips/concerts/assemblies etc too. I note the switches in my plan book, but I guess it would be a great idea to note it on the chart. I usually write myself a big note on the board about switches so I don't inadvertently forget.
Good for you with the decorating! And way to go for sharing your room with us! I have five days of workshops beginning on Monday, so I am trying to get in my "teacher mode" and motivated to begin decorating two rooms - I travel... Check out my blog - mnartgal.blogspot.com
