classroom set-ups

I thought I would start off with different ways I have set up my classroom and different things I have in my room. This is a great way to remember the things I have done for next year (fingers crossed I still have a job)!! This is my first year teaching and I am sure all of you have many more ideas to share. :)

 Reading Corner: Pillow pets and special seats to sit on, fireplace for a 
cozy feel, and MANY books to choose from!



Math Corner: filled with Math stations, math games, posters, Mad Minute charts, and students' work! 

My name stays the same and then depending on the month/holiday
I change what I write the students name on! Here is for February.


Teaching second grade the students do not learn to tell time
until after Christmas break so I decided to display a clock
for all our activities that way they do not need to ask me "what time is....?"
If the students finish early they have a number of things to choose from to do. One of the things they can choose to do is play Boggle. At the end of the week I collect the Boggle notebooks and the student with the most words gets a small prize!  THEY LOVE IT! :)

Don't worry I am just getting started...there will be more to come :)
