This is my classroom as of September, 2010. I was off on maternity leave for the 2011-2012 school year, so these are my most recent photos of a classroom set-up. Once my classroom is ready for me to go back in and get set up, I'll post new pictures. I want to make some changes to my room this year! My main colour theme will remain, but I have some fun plans! Stay tuned!

| View from the main door. The black paper on the top is used to display student artwork. I would like to move the guided reading table to a different spot for 2012-2013. |
 |
| Part of my library. The 25 empty plastic bins were used without the lids as the students' reading boxes. |
 |
| Small group table and teacher desk (and a bunch of mess on the back counter!) |
 |
| More of the library, and word work drawers. I will re-purpose these drawers this year and store my word work differently. |
 |
| Math manipulatives and toys |
 |
| Magnetic Word Wall and white board: I had all of my word wall words printed onto magnetic paper. I love the ease of just adding the words like that, and the fact that it's on a white board means that I can easily write additional words with white board markers! |
 |
| Teacher Desk and Computer. |
 |
| Daily schedule board. (Created with Boardmaker) |
My goals:
1) Get more natural boxes/baskets
2) Add another accent colour
3) Reorganize Word Work
4) Install a Reading Loft
5) Rearrange room for a better placement of guided reading table
6) Eliminate Clutter
