Classroom Reveal: My first blogpost!!


So excited for this journey!!!

Welcome to my blog!  
I am a 1st grade teacher in Troy, OH who has a passion to share ideas.  
In my spare time, I help with dog rescue.  I brought my doggie-lovin' heart into the classroom and wallah!

These are laminated squares outside of my classroom that are attached to the tack strips.  I put clothespins on them to switch out hallway displays quickly and easily.

These are cubbies for my kids but also are used for storage.  Each bin is labeled with the items that go inside.  At the bottom are any papers that I use consistently throughout the year.  I can copy in advance and the kids use the bins as a shelf.  

I got the blue shelves from Walmart and the multi-color drawers from Target.  

My reading corner: tried stools this year from IKEA (Thanks Mrs. DeCarbo!)  The kids are LOVING them!  Paper letters are stored in the red little drawers to use during reading groups; posters help with decoding and the caterpillar shows word families.

Chapter books and book boxes:  They are actually shower caddies!  I turned a wooden paper sorter sideways and wallah!    

This will be my work board for Literacy Collaborative (AM Reading) and Daily 4 (PM Math)

Calendar:  I LOVE to incorporate a new thing each month to continue challenging kiddos during our time here.  

Behavior Plan:  All children start on green.  The system is fluid, so even if he/she moves down- they can always earn their way back up!

Drawers for needed copies throughout the week!

Math manipulatives and School/Home Folders:  labeled so that children can grab independently and a place in the morning with everything goes as well as any copies that I need to send home get put (so I don't lose things)!

Thanks you so much for visiting my blog!  I'm super excited to start sharing my knowledge and ideas as well as learning from others that post/share!
