Hey all! I've spent the past 3 days getting my classroom ready for the new year. I'm so excited for my kiddies to come in tomorrow!
Last year I always felt like I was in the shadow of the teacher who I replaced... I changed lots but I also never really felt like my room reflected me. This year I wanted to make sure that my room was organised and totally to my liking as best as I could with what I had.
When I came into my class on Monday afternoon (my suitcase in tow!!!) here's what I saw:
Luckily, all of my boards were backed and bordered because my awesome LSA last year did it before we broke up for summer holidays. So after a few days of some elbow grease and dedication, my room is now looking like this:
|
The book area/role play area, and you can also see the levelled readers bookcase. |
|
A view of the majority of my room. |
|
The back of the room |
|
The kid's trays, the sink and art area, and you can see my behaviour clip chart in the right of the picture as well. |
|
The front of the room and my brand spanking new Promethean board and computer!! |
|
Our prayer corner and our weekly helpers |
|
Miss French's area- where I keep all materials, books, important info, etc. That lion on the cupboard door is the beginning of where our school values will be placed. It's still a work in progress but I like it!

I'm really liking what my room looks like this year and how organised it feels! I just KNOW that this is going to be a fantastic year. I can't wait to greet my 24 smiley 5 year olds tomorrow morning!
