THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED

'Twas the night before school started....and all is finished!  I am officially ready for my 12th year of teaching! And the classroom is ready for my first and second graders!

 
I love the open cubbies.  Each one has a magazine holder for the student's reading books: library books, leveled readers, and books for fun.  


This is what the students will see on their desks when they arrive!  An owl desk name tag, an owl cup holding a sharpened owl pencil, owl bookmark, several erasers (not owl, sadly), and a package of tissues.  I created a Welcome to School work packet (featuring owls) to keep the students busy as they arrive.  

(teacher note: the Owl work packet is available on TPT- just click the picture)



This is the Writing Center, which seats two students at a time.  Writing paper on the top, clipboards in the middle, and small dry erase boards on the bottom.  The 2nd graders will use the green instructions, and the 1st graders will use the blue instructions.  The centers are already differentiated to meet student needs.  
Now just need to add pencils and it's ready to go!



Tomorrow is going to be a great day!  It will be the start of a great adventure!
