Can't wait for my kindergarteners to come in tomorrow and start filling those little seats!
Welcome to the land of 5 and 6 year olds...
My desk area
Full view of classroom
Our home living/dramatic play area.
Our small carpet area for small group purposes.
I use "Honey Drops" like teachers use table points. When I see a table is all focused and on task I will simply put a honey drop (yellow pom pom) into that groups jar. At the end of the week we will add up each tables honey drops and whichever table has the most will get a "class privilege" (Privileges: extended computer time, shoes off in class, free choice during centers)
My library and writing center.
Small group table
One of the areas that makes my classroom unique is my "Bee in control area". This is an area that I will send students who need to calm down and be removed from a whole group activity. While the student is here, they have a few options. 1. Listen to classical music on an old compact CD player 2. Read a book (all focusing on feelings) 3. Sort feeling cards. I will make sure to establish clear guidelines and steps the student must take when sent there.
I'm a little OCD when it comes to organization. All cabinets are labeled, it helps me stay organized!
Our What's the Buzz word wall or should I say word board.
Calendar Time: focus is on months, days, weather, time and ordering.
Lastly I have our Busy Listening station. I loved the stools because they can also be used for storage, yippe!
Thanks for checking in!
