Little details that I love!

So there are several little things in my class that I LOVE... I have beg, borrowed and stole many if not all of these ideas. (Isn't that the best part about being a teacher??)

 

Here’s my behavior chart. Each student starts out on green each day and has the ability to move all the way to purple depending on their behavior. If a student has achieved purple for the day, they are given a leader stick. 5 leader sticks =’s a leader privilege. Here’s a glimpse of my behavior system!



 

 

I am obsessed with my little monsters. It took me forever to create each one but it has saved a ton of arguments and pushing when the students are asked to put their book baskets away.

 

Aren't they adorable!!

Here are some other pintrest inspired creations! (I LOVE that website!)

Each time a student finishes there work early throughout the day, they get to visit the early birds poster (the activities change each day)

This little basket has been a dream for those poor books that get pulled apart from the students so eagerly reading them

 

Our classroom promise that we created all together!

Let me know if you have anything in your classroom that you just absolutely couldn't live without!

...Classroom Theme and Pictures...

 

This year my classroom has been decorated around a  "Monster" theme. I have to say that I am in love with the colors! Although is has taken me a LONG time to make all of the pieces for decorating, it has been a blast and it is finally finished!

  

Here is a sneak peak of my "bravo" board!

Leadership, writing and coat rake.. I had so much fun creating the accent pieces for the coat rake!

Just the  "FACE of a reader" board and a glimpse of the pendant curtains that I created!

 

Second most favorite thing in my classroom...... the rocking chair.. Praise the Lord that someone from our church graciously donated the old thing and I decided to add a bit of flair to help it fit in our classroom! Sneak peak of the calendar area too!

 

and here is my favorite area of my classroom.....drum roll please.... The LIBRARY!

It is so important that my little firsties have their little fingers in here from day one. It is my goal to ignite a fire for reading in their hearts this year!! This will probably be the only time this year that it will this organized but here's to giving it a shot!

 

 

There will be more photos to come!
