We Are Almost Ready!

Mrs. Head, Mrs. Shepherd, and I have been busy getting the classroom ready for students.  We have shown you our before pictures, and today you get to see our "almost finished" pictures! We are so excited about our Raider themed room!  Who wouldn't be filled with Raider Pride when surrounded by all of this red, white, and blue?  We still need to add some things, but we couldn't wait any longer to show you what we have done!

These are going to be our small group tables.  We have baskets at each table that are filled with all of the things we will need while working.  This should help us to be organized and make the most of our group work time.

This is going to be our math center.  Students will work here with a partner to complete either review or current math activities.  We will have an anchor chart that will have great information about the topic we are studying and we will also display which common core standards we are working on at the time.  It should be a great addition to the classroom!

This is going to be our reading word wall.  Isn't it just the cutest?  As we learn new high frequency sight words we will add them to the ribbon so that we can use them as a reference.  Mrs. Shepherd worked really hard on this...now we just have to get to Wal Mart to get a few more rolls of ribbon so we can finish u, v, and w!

This is our mailbox/laptop center.  We just love it!  Students will have red and blue folders and they will go in the coordinating baskets each morning and they will put their mail inside before leaving for the day.

This is going to be our language center where students will be working on spelling activities, as well as writing activities.

Here you see our math word wall board.  As we learn new math vocabulary words we will add them to our word wall.  This will help us to remember them and we can refer back to terms when we need to.

We want to thank all of you who were able to stop in and see our classroom during open house.  If you didn't make it in, now you can see what the room will look like.  I will try to post one more set of pictures when it is all the way finished!
