Classroom Reveal 2013!

I have been hard at work in my classroom for the past several days! I am happy to share with you how it has all come together! So here it is.....

View from the doorway looking in!

The "Library" with Anchor chart display above!

The "7 kinds of Smart" posters above anchor charts are a part of my data collection unit! The book shelves are made by placing boards I got at Menards for $1.99 on top of crates! It worked wonderfully to create a short - long shelf! 

Group table, plastic drawers, do you see the baskets hanging from the white board?? I used binder clips to hang baskets to hold dry erase markers, erasers, and magnetic clips! I love them :) Last year I kept knocking the bucket over and creating a messy distraction, this will be a great way to make sure they stay in one place!

Our schedule on the left side or the board, calendar to the right with my birthday display and Life Skills of the month posters underneath. The community supply drawers are also to the right in front of my teacher area!

The Supply drawers, pencil dispenser, eraser holders, and all the things we need for small groups!

The supply drawers are in front of my teacher computer table!

My teacher area!

I am loving this space, it will be good to have a place to work on all the paperwork I do as a special education teacher. I don't have a big desk, just the computer table and a file cabinet!
The wall behind my teacher area, you can see the teacher tool box and the pencil I made this summer! Lots of motivation going on!

Focus wall, interactive student notebooks in the bins on the counter, and a small group table!

Close up view of the focus wall!

 View from the focus wall looking out to the group table, you can see the student computers and the Behavior support system wall behind them (more on that in another post!) and the data wall to the right!Data wall minus a couple of headings that I needed to print but ran out of ink! I can't wait to start setting goals and tracking our progress!!
From the back of the room looking out! See the board in front of the drawers?? It needs to go up in that blank space on the wall. It has all the emergency procedures on it! I used a magnetic white board that was beat up and looking bad, covered it and made a way to put up the procedures and easily change them out when they change!

You can also see some birds on the door! I forgot to take a picture of the hallway, and it's so cute!! So look for that later too!

There it is! I can't wait to welcome students in next week for a whole new year of learning! Thanks for taking the tour!!
