Classroom Organizing Underway

I am linking up with Amanda from One Extra Degree.....my most favorite blog to follow!

On Sunday I gathered up my crafty items and headed into my classroom to get organized and put up bulletin boards with my youngest two in tow.....they were so great and actually helpful considering we were there for 5 hours.

This is really the only Sunday I have left to get in and get things done before we head out of town for our last vacation....so I knew I had to get it all done!

Here are some pictures of my behind the scenes look.....

This is right outside my classroom on the inside hallway....

As you enter from inside the school, this is what you will see...

Close-up of the table top decor and organizing baskets....I plan to stock them with tissues, glue, markers, and post-it's...you know all the things that seem to get lost or eaten by children!

Here is part of my library and our books in spotlight board!

Other part of my library....taking CAFE and daiy 5 and making it work for me....this will be our reading and writing 

strategy board.....you can get the free printables from Ladybugs Teacher Files....another awesome blog!

Star OWL of the week and birthdays board.....

Plus math and supply buckets as well as finished work and homework bins!

View from the outside door entrance.....I love my work area with stools!

Here is my littlest posing near my teacher table....I really want to get rid of the teacher desk but not sure I am allowed to....I might use it for my OWL of the week to use as a priveledge or for assessments....

I love My new mailbox!  And I am going to put the cute numbers and I am here/not here magnets on this file cabinet for quick attendance as they enter.....you can pick these up from Cupcake for the Teacher...

Behind the file cabinet I have the CUTEST reading nook....

Now I need to get the nitty gritty stuff figured out!

Make sure you link up too!
