My Teacher Home

 

There's no place like home!  This part of TBA's International Blog-Hopping Day is to post pictures about our teacher homes!  If you are interested in checking out other classrooms or posting pictures of your own, click the image above to check it out!

 

All of the below pictures were taken in February.  A lot of them have been posted on my blog before, but not all in the same post so here we go!  **Keep in mind, I did not clean up before taking these so please excuse the mess: great things were being created!

Where are you going today?  Specials

At our school 3-5 grades are split into groups for specials.  We have split the students into groups typically A, B, C, and D and they rotate through Art, Music, PE, and Mandarin Chinese.  They go to each every 4th day.  There is no D up there because they had to consolidate a group for us. 

Students do morning work between 8:20-8:50 every morning.

Like I said at the beginning of the post, this is from February.  At the end of the school year, I completely remodeled my room.  My desk is in a different place so those shelves behind my desk will be used for a public supply area.  I have also gotten several great ideas through bloggers, Made-It, Monday, and Pinterest so my room will look completely different come August.  I will be doing a lot of new classroom management things.  Be on the lookout:  I will post new pictures come August!
