Classroom Reveal Part 2

I made it through my first week back and I have to say, while I am tired, I'm also excited about this new year! I have some very sweet third graders and one or two that can be a handful. As promised, here is my classroom finished. It was a lot of work,  but I am very happy with how it turned out this year!

Close up of the student desks: the goodie bags I stamped myself and have a pencil, bookmark, and box of smarties. Each group also has a scrap bucket in the middle for our Interactive notebook cuttings.

Our staff mailboxes: I made a little box with Werthers and card for each staff member. All 55 of them!!

So that is my classroom, I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Ok, now that you saw my "blank canvas" I am going to show you some of the things I have been working on. We don't start until September 8, so my room is not quite ready, therefore, I will do a follow up post to show you the after, when it is ready. For now, here are some new things I have done this year. 

Amy Lemons and her Key Word Kiddos!

My Super Improver Board

 Hope King's Math Centers!

Ashlyn Ellsworth's Reading and Math Centre rotation boards
