Classroom Design

So it is that time of year again~
Time to make a plan and put it into action.

Right now, I feel like this ...
This is the stuff I could leave in my room.  I have more at home and in storage.  YIKES!!! I thought I was doing better at minimizing~ HA! 

I look at what is in the room and really have to plan it out before I even start to move anything.
Going back to teaching all subjects means, more stuff!  I am also in a new room this year.  I have been in this room before, but I was kindergarten back then and everything was different.
I am at the "Where do I begin?" stage.

I am betting I will take this one home with me and paint there.  I hate to waste my time at school painting.  I am hoping it will fit some of my chapter books nicely and then I can rotate out the extra baskets.  We will see ...

I love the back of the room.
I can't wait to dress it up!
Wish me luck, the madness starts on Aug. 6th!
Happy Classroom Designing!
Karen

  1. Hi there
    I love seeing photos of classrooms - especially one from scratch as you are. Keep the photos coming so we can watch your journey.

    1. So glad you have stopped by! I am posting pictures tonight! I have made very little progress on my 1st day back. I was anticipating getting so much more done. Keep coming back. I am hoping I can give someone at least one fun idea. LOL There are so many GREAT ideas already out there! Happy Teaching!

    1. So nice to meet you, Kerren Crawford! That is so neat! New Zealand, WOW, I wish I could go there. I love that through the internet we can connect to people all over and learn from one another. I am a better teacher because of it! I have been teaching for 17 years. We are pretty close in age :o) I wonder what else we have in common. I hope you will follow me so we can get to know each other better. Talk to you soon!
