I have been MIA from the blog world the last few weeks because I've been hard at work in my classroom! Nearly everything is ready to go now. We had a staggered start last Wednesday & Thursday with everyone coming on Friday. We begin our normal rotation schedule tomorrow.
I am (still!) very excited for this year. I have great co-workers and my teammates are awesome! My kids all seem to be eager to learn and that makes this job even better. Because of scheduling conflicts, I'm now teaching 1 unit of math and 4 units of social studies. My team has about 120 kids and they are the "enrichment team." We have been challenged by their parents and our principal to really push them to keep them growing and interested in school. We'll be doing a lot of projects and I have lots of ideas for them!
I hope to be back to blogging more this week now that I feel more "settled."
A Tour of My Classroom

| "no name" claim board--inspired by Pinterest! |
 |
| Assignment Board: blocks created with bulletin board boarder. I added magnets to the back so it is adjustable. The subjects' stars match our color coded folders & notebooks. |
 |
| my corner-I use the blue organizer on the table to prep my supplies weekly (each box is a day) The colored cart in front of my desk is where I keep extra paper for my students. |
 |
| To display student work, I'll hang different assignments on this board. I will organize them by what makes it "model" work: neatness, completeness, great effort, content knowledge, etc. The table is where students turn in work and have access to staplers. |
 |
| This is my content wall. I printed the vocabulary on sentence strips. This wall will change with each unit. |
