Then, a colleague/friend popped into my room today and said my room always feels "very warm." This really 'filled my bucket' with a good feeling. Thanks Jen! :)
So, I was inspired to share my very colorful classroom.
A view from the doorway: kids sit in groups of 4 or 5, Abenaki moons hanging from the ceiling, my desk off to the right.
My guided reading/guided math corner.
From the door-sharp left look: dry erase board (front of the room.)
My desk!
Reading corner and small work table (books are tucked in there and off to the right.)
You can see our character collages up on the wall, and if you look closely there are some great dioramas on top of the book cases.
View from my desk: front board with math learning targets posted on the bottom left, greek/latin root posters above board, and Hopes and Dreams on the purple banner.
This is a new arrangement: student book boxes, writing tools, and nonfiction text books. Vacation table is visible in the corner of this picture. Behind these bookcases is a large rug, where we meet for Morning Meeting and learning. I love this new space!
Thanks for the inspiration to share! Hope to see some other classrooms online! :)
