Random thought

Random thought of the day from Chris Dawson....

"You know what is going to stink about having kids?  When you are tired, you can't just order pizza for dinner.  They might die or get fat or something."

4th Grade

I just finished up teacher work week and it was really good to see everyone and get started on a new year.  I finally feel settled into my new room.  I took over for a teacher that went on maternity leave and then moved to be closer to family, so I really never had time to makes my classroom feel like mine.  Some people were asking for pictures of my classroom.  If you aren't interested... just skip this post :)

The teacher organization area behind my desk

The paper turn in table

Binders, binders, and more binders...

Job board - I decided to go with a week helper instead of switching 10 different jobs every week.  That is too confusing for me!

Student supply table

View from the front

Do you think this will help them keep organized??  Me neither.. but I tried, right?

Cubbies

Calendar

Small group reading area

Using windows for more space :)

I love you, IKEA

The whole room from the corner

Word Wall

So there you have it.  A lot of the space is empty so I can hang student work when they get there.  I didn't show a pciture of the front of the room becuase when I took these, all that was there was the smart board (which I LOVE, by the way).  When it is ready, I'll post what the students see everyday from their seats (beside me;). 

Here they come, ready or not ;)
