Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
I took some pics of my classroom when I went in there today. It still looks so stark to me because I'm used to it getting filled up with tons of charts and the student's work -- but I know htat I have almost everything up that I am required to have.
I still have to put up my ABC Chart and put the kids name tags on their desks. I also need to do some work on my back math bulletin board and you'll see now that it's basically empty but I do have the number grid on it.
I have to say that I am sick of moving my classroom (have moved 4 times in 4 years of being at my school!) but am glad I took the extra time to do it right this year. My closets and writing center/paper selection areas are all very organized and I re-did the majority of my filing cabinet also. I am also very glad that I used a very large area for my word wall since it is something that I don't think is always utilized so much and has been the case in the past.
I would love a bookshelf or two more and wish I didn't have a small oddly shaped room, but am overall very happy with how it came out.

Thanks  I teach 1st and 2nd grade Special Ed. I'll have 12 students which is why it's a small room!

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
WOW! That looks so great and colorful!!! My classroom is soooo tiny! I only have seven kids in my class. I will more than likely get an 8th student soon. I teach special ed. The highlight of my year will be when I get my dry-erase board - I color code everything! My students dont start until the week after next, but I'll take pictures next week during orientation!
ETA: My class is smaller than that - waaay smaller than that!

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
Wow...you must teach in LI. In Queens (where I used to teach), Special Ed classrooms were literally in converted storage closets...so sad. The classroom your in now, that was the size of my 2nd grade classroom...and I had 30 students!
You did a GREAT job! Enjoy your year!

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
I'll post pics next week. I am so jealous of your storage closets. I have an Ok size classroom with a bathroom but no storage!!! Aalong with 25 2nd graders this year the space fills up quick.

Actually I do teach in the city -- I teach in Bushwick, Brooklyn. However it is a fairly new school. It was built in 1997 so the classrooms are a good size and there is good storage. I am on the 2nd floor which has great storage -- on th first floor it isn't as good.

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
My room is still a disaster, but here goes. I will have 28 first graders. I totally have to organize my library since I moved it and before school ended, I bought a ton of books through scholastic. I had to clean it majorly too since the teacher who had it before me retired and left EVERYTHING which has its pros and cons.

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
Melissa, I don't teach, nor have I been in a 1st grade classroom in about 30 years 
BUT
I just wanted to say it looks great! Looks like a wonderful place to learn and grow!

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
Melissa, your room is gorgeous!
Funny, when I was looking around my room on Friday, I was thinking, would it be silly for me to post pics of my room on LIF?  I am pretty happy with how it came out. This was the first classroom I had to set up since '03 because I was a literacy coach for two years (though I did teach a class last year) and I felt "rusty."

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
Melissa, the room looks great!
I will post pics of my room tomorrow. I'm very proud of it My good friend is the art teacher, so we're going to be painting a mural on my back wall, other than that being blank right now, I'm inlove with my room I'm trying to make it as appealing as possible so I feel happy when I walk in it every morning. I made a gigantic collage of pictures of JT and I and Ava behind my desk. The kids haven't seen me since before I had Ava, so I know they'll be excited to see pictures. I also painted one of my bookcases with all music themes on it. It looks really cool.
I work in an old estate house, so I just have the coolest classroom ever. I have a marble fireplace and these gorgeous built-in shelves and beautiful crown molding. Too bad they painted everything that ugly school-green color

Re: Teachers -- post pics of your classrooms!
MissJones -- I LOVE it and do you teach 1st grade? I recognize the Math Steps Books. It looks like you have a huge room and a TON of students also!  Also tons of closets!
Where do you teach? You've probably told me and I've forgotten!
