Pictures and Descriptions 

This is the view from the back corner of my classroom. These are the tables that the students sit at everday and those are their computers. The bulletin board over the sinks is for calendar math and the doors next to it lead to hte teacher's closet. The door to the classroom is right next to it.

This is the calendar math bulletin board. A different student each week gets the job of leading the class in claendar math. In fifth grade the students also do calendar in spanish. The clock at the right of the picture is something I came up with to add to the calendar math routine. In here you can also see where my teacher store her extra reading and writing materials for one of the classes.

This is the area where the students store their jackets and bookbags. It usually looks pretty messy and disorganized because the hangers aren't strong enough to hold everything. But there is a plan for new storage. The clear drawers on top of the shelf are where students turn in their work for each class.



This is the area where my teacher gives all of here reading and writing minilessons. The shelves on the left hold the students "book nooks." This is where the keep all of their reading class materials. The shelf on the right hold a mini library where the students can check out a just right book when they finish the one they are on. The rug is where the kids sit during all of their lessons and they are allowed to work over there, or read there during class.The lamps are often turned on and the rest of the lights off. The round table in the corner is where the teacher spends most of her time during the day.



Bulletin Boards This are some examples of interactive bulletin boards that could be used in classrooms and for center time.
