Our Classroom

I am so excited to share our classroom space with you! I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did putting it together for you!

Enjoy!

"When we learn, we grow" - a Welcome bulletin board to begin our year together.

Made the paper flower wreath last year to adorn the classroom door.

Our hallway entrance, needed to add a little color, and of course a Office Max poster! 

I am fortunate to have tables again this year! I also have enough room for my end of the table crates that I have always wanted!

View from the front of the room! 

Reading nook for my cozy readers.

Calendar and birthday chart.

My desk and carts for students extra workbooks and journals.

Flowers and stripes, a must have on my teacher desk. 

Another reading nook coupled with a great test taking strategies bulletin board. 

A part of the library and prayer center for our Religion class.

The rest of our classroom library! 

A new addition to my room, Our favorite Picks (get it?)... My vision for this piece of the room is for students to eventually pick the books that will be featured here based on their recommendations as readers.

Our Word Wall ready to be filled with new and important words throughout the year. 

Another new and exciting addition to my classroom, my Maker Space!  

The bins and containers are full with items, supplies and tools for students to create, learn and develop new ideas! I can't wait to see what they create! 

Plan to use this space as my 'class meeting' space to have team meetings, complete anchor charts, and participate in many learning opportunities. 

Our Tech Cafe is equipped with two ThinkPads, and 5 tablets.  We can't wait to put these to good use.  

The 7 Keys to Comprehension, these will be essential for our Guided Reading Groups.

Our reading center table for small groups, with our independent reading chart behind. 

Cubbies for our student books, and our school wide PEACE program. 

Reading Center rotation boards and of course more polka dots!

Writing Center

 Whew!  The room is amazing and everything I could have hoped for in a classroom. I hope that my third grade students will enjoy and feel safe and comfortable in their 'Home away from Home."
