Come to MY CLASSROOM! My wonderful, patient, loving, kind, toleration of me and my anxiousness, sweet parents helped me create a coZy, woodsy, classroom. It MAY or may not be the envy of every teacher at Midas Creek!
Here are the BEFORE pictures:
After tracing, chalking, cutting, stressing, sorting, moving, cleaning, Did I mention stressing? We finally put the room in order. Here she is now!
The desks of my TWENTY SEVEN students. Yep. 27. Why some of the teachers have 22- I am not so sure.At least new students won't be coming into MY class during the year!
This is a place for "Campers" to read. The rocks have our 5 Guidelines on them...(the Rules.) I can't take ANY credit for the fire...all my mom. She used it in HER class
Below is a curriculum map of what we will cover this year. Parents love this kind of stuff :)
I was in charge of tracing the animals, my mom chalked them. She won't let me use her "good" chalk. Just kidding! I wasn't that great at it..she's a pro.
My calendar...idea is from MY first grade teacher, Mrs. Conklin. She actually came and helped me put it up! Thanks to the cricut all my circles are perfectly round. I made cute little seasonal pictures for each holiday! Will show ya as the months change!
foresty scene at "together time." My dad spent quite a long time taking the Christmas lights off the "professionally lit" tree.
My heroes who I couldn't have done it without. They know ALL in the Education field. Get it- our Moos't fantastic work- and there's a moose! Six year olds won't get it though!
My territory!
My camping themed sign- yep those most certainly are s'mores.
Mystery Camper: Every week we will get clues from a camper in the class. By Friday they are revealed! Their parents come and talk about them and everyone loves it!
One last thing, as I was putting crayons and pencils into each tote tray...this is what I thought of- Meg Ryan may love a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils,
