Getting My Classroom Ready

After two weeks of meetings and work. My Classroom was finally ready!
Here is the front of the classroom. Below the white boards is the area where the centers that the students will be using are. To the right are the computers and in the middle you can see the desk for my 10 second graders. Where the rug is, you can see some of the calendar and Word Wall bulleting board. This is our meeting area.
It is a small classroom so it took a lot of thinking to organized it to utilize the space the best. Gordon helped me think of different ways to arrange it until we had the best plan. Gordon and Matt helped me move the heavy things around one night. Thanks guys!

Heidi organized the library by color coding and numbering the books. BIG JOB. I was so thankfull!

Here is the back view of the classroom. You can see the library area to the right. A bulletin board ready to display kids work. Below the bulletin board is the supplies area (pencil, pencil sharpener, rulers etc...) Below the bulletin board is also the listening center. To the left is the teacher's area. Here is were the students come to meet with teacher for reading groups and other lessons. In the middle you can see my 6 first graders desks.

To the left you can see some of the meeting area. We meet here several times during the day. The students seat on the floor as a group and we gather to do group activities like Prayer Time, Bible Class, Singing Time, Calendar Time, Word Wall Time, Story Time, etc....

We have had some great two weeks of school already. I LOVE MY JOB!
