Classroom Tour: Circle Time Area

 

This is our circle time area.

On the walls:

alphabet chart- from Dollar Tree

above the letters, I have name cards for everyone in my room, teachers included. I got them for free from HERE. I print a whole page per child, some are in uppercase and some are capital letters to begin, and the rest lowercase for the second semester.  I have two alphabets (my room is split into two parts lol) so I hang them up twice.  One full set for our journals. One for our writing center. One is for our birthday board, sort of lol They move their name when they turn 5 :) 

Our number charts from HERE.

Red and Green choices from HERE.

Voice levels HERE.

Calendar companion from HERE.

Days of the week from HERE.

Months of the year from HERE.
