I am so excited for this post! I've been dying to share pictures of my classroom. My classroom is my pride and joy. It's where I love to work. I take so much joy in creating student-friendly environments and I am ecstatic that I got to bring a little bit of that to Palau this year.
This is my darling Reading Corner. I made a "bookshelf" out of the podium in my classroom and have a basket on the side for our NEW books! A HUGE thank you to Kathy and her class for donating 20+ wonderful books for my kids to dig in to! They are PUMPED!
On the wall are anchor charts to help guide their reading. I have up Fiction and Non-Fiction posters, how to read with Stamina, Making Connections, and a "Reading is Thinking" poster. I found all of these brilliantly colorful and helpful posters on Pinterest. Get some markers out, turn on some tunes, and get coloring! These posters make GREAT mini-lessons.
This is the Writing Center. The 5 posters on the right teach different Leads that they can start their writing with. The TAG poster is a Partner Conferring acronym, teaching students how to give helpful advice on someone's writing. The black chart on the right will become their Writing Goals where they can choose what area of growth they want to focus on for the day in their writing.
Here is an up-close of the Writing Center table. There is a cup full of pens for colorful editing and proofreading and mechanical pencils so their writing doesn't have to skip a beat. A clip board is there to help suit the writer who loves to work on the floor. I put cards and envelopes in the baskets so they can practice writing and sending letters and writing prompt cards on a ring if they are stumped. The "Wreck This Journal" is strictly for fun. :)
Here is what this part of the room started as...Thank you Jesus for inspiration!
Xo, Rachel
