Breathe!

Yesterday I was able to get a lot of work done on my classroom. I meant to post pictures yesterday but we were busy with Manny's mom coming home and all. So I shall post pictures now :-)

 The kids mailboxes are near the door. They put all their papers they complete in class into their mailboxes. I have them empty their mailboxes every Friday.

 This corner is my writing station. I revamped the blue mailbox my sister gave me by putting contact paper on it. I am going to put different types of paper in each of the mailbox slots.

My big bulletin board on my back wall. It has a pocket chart for math stations, my helper chart, science word wall words, literacy stations, and the blank spot is where I am going to put the kid's birthdays.

I had to take this close up of the writing station because Muñeca was sleeping at the bottom of the tree.

Our classroom library :-) The paper on the wall makes it look like they're reading in a meadow. I cheated when I put my curtains up... They are just stuck in the ceiling tiles. Shhhh don't tell anyone! Haha I need to get a short curtain rod.

 Here you can see the front of the classroom. The library is near the front, but I like it being near the window. Last year I had it in a corner against a wall. I like it much better this year. Easy access in case I forgot to pull a book for a lesson or I need to fill a few minutes of extra time. I love books!!!

Here's the other half of the front of the room and my corner where you can see Manny studying.

Our word wall and computers. I need to put the letters on the word wall.

Lastly, here is a view from the door :-) Ignore all the stuff on the tables and in the corner on the floor. I realized yesterday I own a Office Depot. I guess I am an office supply hoarder. I had ten boxes of 5000 count staples. I had a foot tall stack of sticky notes. HELP! Hi my name is Alicia and I have a problem. Haha

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures :-) Hopefully the next pictures are of my finished room. Yay!!
