Reading Focus Board

This board displays our Essential 
Question for reading for the 
grading period.  I try to put up 
vocabulary words that are 
important.  We discuss this board 
many times during the week to 
check 
for understanding.

Our Wonderful Wall

On this wall, I display student 
work.  The morning Mountain 
Language Review is also there for 
the students to use.  I also have 
my spelling centers in the red 
organizer pockets.  We use these 
often to practice our words.

Mountain Math

Mountain Math reviews and 
practices the same skills all 
year.  This really gets them ready 
for the CRCT!

Our Book Corner

Students can choose a variety of 
books to read from our book 
corner.  They are categorized by 
subject, genre, series, or 
author.  You can also see the 
Writer's Corner on the wall.  This 
is where we keep our ideas for 
writing handy.

Songs

We sing a lot during the day! I 
have many songs that help the 
students connect to what they are 
learning.  They love it.

Rug Time Learning!

When I want to introduce a new 
skill or read a book, the students 
sit on the rug in front of me.  It 
brings them closer to me when I 
really need them to focus.

Guided Reading Table

During Guided Reading I work with 
small groups of children on their 
instructional reading level.  I 
also use this time to review any 
skills they may not have gotten 
during the previous day.  I keep 
pencils, highlighters, frequency 
word flip books, and more handy 
for use.

Computers

Yeah!  We finally have four 
computers.  Students take AR 
tests, use my webpage for academic 
practice, do the Mastery Club and 
more!
