Welcome to Room 12!
|
Come right in our door and we'll give you
the grand tour!!
|
|
Turn to the left and you'll see our Math
manipulatives and supplies are stored here. We also have our class
mailbox and individual student mailboxes.
|
Turn to the right and you can see our
Science Work Station straight ahead! You can see our cubbies
across the room.
|
|
Take just a few steps in and you'll see our
learning tables. Mrs. Cornwell made us colored chair pockets for
each table.
|
Here's our Meeting Place where we meet as a group.
Every morning we choose 3 names to be the "couch potatoes" and sit
in this special place. Everyone else can choose a special letter
book to sit on.
|
|
This is the view from the other direction. You can
see our classroom easel as well as our Book Boxes (which are on
the shelves by the chalkboard).
|
The drawers under the easel store our white
boards and markers, chalkboards, and other supplies we use
frequently. Our book shelves are beginning to be filled with
stories and you can see our big books as well.
|
|
Behind the easel is our Magnet Work Station.
|
The back wall is our Word Wall. You can see
the Alphabet Work Station (under the Word Wall) and the Drama Work
Station (to the left).
|
|
This is our Word Work Station. It backs against a
storage island that holds many of our Literacy Materials on one
side and puzzles on the other. Our blue Math tubs will soon be
filled with books too!
|
Here's a better view of some of our puzzles and
blocks.
|
|
This second storage island houses the rest of our
puzzles and small manipulatives. The children each have a crayon
drawer to store their crayons, scissors, and a glue stick (the
remaining drawers are on the other side for better traffic flow).
|
Our guided reading table is in the back of the
room (with a good view of all areas). The large drawers are
labeled for each level and materials (like magnetic letters) are
readily available. The tall cabinet has now become our Name Wall!
|
|
We love our new computer tables and even more
exciting... we now have 4 computers!
|
Just like the other areas of our room, the view is
"evolving" as the students are helping to create their own
learning environment! We've
displayed the county required alphabet as well as our student
created Quality Student, Quality Teacher, and Class Vision and
Mission.
|
|
Here's a closer view of our Science Work Station.
There are so many interesting non-fiction stories to choose!
|
This is the Writing Work Station where all
materials (including post-its, envelopes, paper, etc) are right
where you need them.
|
|
The yellow wire storage is for glue, glue sticks,
boo-boo tape, hole punchers, etc. You can see the Math Tubs again
to the left.
|
My Teaching Partners use this table for
small groups and individual instruction. They each have a set of
drawers for their supplies.
|
|
Behind the small groups table is our Lunch Graph
and...
|
Behavior Frogs.
|
|
Back by the door is our sink and bathroom. We have
a Stop and Go sign that signals if it's ok to enter. Mrs. O'Brien
even found us a neat gadget that fits on our faucet and turns it
into a water fountain!
|
Before you go, we have just a few more things to
point out! Here's a better view of our Book Boxes under the front
chalkboard (you can see our Homeworkopoly board, 100's chart, and
Investigations calendar).
|
|
Look straight up and you'll see our Color Train!
We searched through magazines to find
just the right pictures to represent each color.
|
|
Across the back wall you'll see our Number
Wall and Names Alphabet that we created.
Keep checking back... our room will
continue to grow and change just like we will!!
