BTS READY

My Intervention classroom is ready for Back to School 2017!  Check it out!

When you first enter the room, there are 2 tables for meetings, or for when other teachers need a space for working with individual students or small groups.

I set up a green screen for teachers and students to create fun videos!

My desk, data, and conference area.  I conference with teachers a great deal, so it helps to have a designated space!

My small group table.

I inherited this short preschool table, but my seat crates fit perfectly!

View from the door.  I'm not really fond of the room divider placement, but it will allow for different groups to work in the room with less distractions.  

 

A new addition to my room are the Dr. Seuss "READ" letters made by Redesign by Yaya.  Find them on Facebook!  These letters are just so cute!

MORE BTS 2017

More Back to School pictures!  I am getting a lot done in my classroom, though I am so grateful that we're getting more classroom prep time this year during our week of Staff Development.  I can always use more time!  Day 3 was spent on bulletin boards, unpacking, and organizing!

Every year I take the "empty box" picture!  I think I used less boxes this year, so that's a good thing!

This area still needs some work, but I discovered something awesome about the cubbies!

These Target fabric cubes fit perfectly!  I bought 6 to organize my materials.  I'll have a bin for multiplication, addition/subtraction, and so on!  I will label them to make it easier to find what I'm looking for.  When planning Interventions for K-5th grades, you just never know what you might need!  I am looking forward to organizing this area!

  I found the pink and blue fadeless bulletin board paper on clearance at Hobby Lobby.  It really brightens up the room!  The Dr. Seuss ABC border is so cute!  

BTS 2017

  Going back to school in August is always a challenge.  Summer is over and I have inevitably moved into a new classroom.  This makes seven moves in seven years in the same building.  This year I am moving into an awesome room though.  It has plenty of storage, a sink, closet, and even a restroom!  First, I had to deal with the left over issues from the previous occupants (PreK classroom, Dyslexia/GT combined classroom).  Then I can start unpacking all of my stuff, which is really a lot!  Aside from my own materials, I have school materials that will be useful in K-5th grade Intervention groups.  I also have a plethora of materials from my United Way After School Reading Camp.  There is stuff everywhere!

Unfortunately for me, the carpet was not cleaned yet when I arrived.  So everything had to be moved off the carpet onto the small tiled area, which had already been waxed.

I made great progress on Day 2.  I started on my classroom library.  I have a small rug to go in front.  When I need to work with one student, the rest can sit here and read.  The metal shelving with the blue buckets holds more books!  (The door behind the metal shelving is for the restroom of the adjacent Pre-K classroom which we will not use.)  These books are intended for my after school Reading program, but hopefully now more kids will enjoy them during the day as well.  

Almost finished....

I inherited this Pre-K table, which must stay in the room.  My seat crates fit perfectly with it!

I LOVE the wall cabinets!  I do have a lot to sort through, but I still have time.

A two-stall restoom for us!!!  (with some Pre-K furniture stored in there as well.)

Time for a break!
