Trouble areas

 I am always seemingly changing my room- it works sometimes, then it doesn't lol

Here is my library shelves on my main floor:

We have a book bin for Pip the Pup and for classbooks.

The next day, the bins were moved lol

The kids nap in my room, so the boxes get in the way.

If they aren't stacked the "right" way, one of the labels pops off lol

I have another shelf and boxes in my loft too lol

Problems area #2!

First off, I have carpet on half my walls... 

that's not really an issue. I mean, I just don't use it lol

My linear calendar takes up the whole wall- 

but that's the point.

The blue chair is my teacher chair.

It is covering the outlet.

The white shelf holds our CD players.

Then my easel way over there lol

Thank goodness it is on wheels ;)

Maybe I move the white shelves to the center? 

Move my chair towards the easel?

I'll be back later with an update lol

In other news, I got rid of these bucket shelves!!!!

Well I kept the buckets lol

Someone was giving away this Lakeshore unit and I scooped it up!

The sensory table moved down because it was spit between the carpet and flooring.

The table holds big books that need to find a home lol

or so I don't forget about them lol

I need more labels but I keep forgetting to take photos lol 

Since writing this, I changed it more lol

so more updates to follow!

Ice cream work

During our ice cream unit

mini-unit

We read these books

Grab your free order form:

Grab your free poem:

In our morning bins, we did these:

We made some ice cream patterns 

We wrote some theme words.

I display all the words in our writing center.

The students chose 4 or 5 words depending on their age.

They draw their pictures to go with the words.

I keep these theme words all school year and 

then add them to our portfolios :)

Both of those papers are from the file above :)

All About Reading and More

I have two sets of bookshelves.

One on my floor and one in my loft.

The chart is about book care and can be found here$

I laminated a piece of chart paper- well half lol 

I drew the cute border folded in half and ran through my big laminator.

Then used a razorblade to separate the sides.

When we discuss library expectations,

I add the pieces and tape them to the chart.

 I need to figure out what to do with those bins lol

they just keep getting moved all around lol

Here is our writing center:

I need to figure out what else to put in my writing center.

Maybe chalk and chalkboards.

Maybe letters.... hummmmm...... 

Stay tuned for new writing utensils!
