Helpers
- I purchased the large pocket card holders about 8 years ago, the
helper cards are from 3rd Grade Thought's TpT store and the circles on
the sticks are from Kinder Kreations TpT store.
Literacy Centers - the pocket charts are from Target and I made the center cards.
Rules - The owl themed rule cards are from Tweet Resources TpT store.
O.W.L. binders are in the student mailboxes and ready to go!
The chairs are from Sam's Club.
Small Group Materials
The back of the room - writing center and the computers.
Cursive Alphabet from Ladybugs Teacher Files.
Focus Wall (from Leslie's Locker TpT store) and Writing Center
These
charts will be used the first day/week of school. I had a hard time
figuring out how to hang them on the dry erase board. It is magnetic so I
used small magnetic clips and the charts kept sliding down. Then, I hot
glued stronger magnets to the clips, nope, that did not work either.
Finally,
I used t-pins and the strip (see below) to hang them with skirt clips,
which were purchased my first year of teaching 22 years ago to display
class books by hanging them from the chalkboard ledge.
Here are the cubbies and a lot of my teaching materials.
It is easier for me to access materials when they are in plain sight.
My mother made the curtains using the same fabric that is on my bulletin boards.
The math labels are from Amy Groesbeck's TpT store.
The supply bin labels are from Ladybugs Teacher Files and I made the cubby number labels.

Thank you. My room is smaller that I have been in at other schools.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your classroom with us. I always get inspired by looking at other's classrooms. I love how everything looks like it is labeled. I hope you'll share makeover photos as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you-yes I will share new photos!
DeleteThanks for sharing photos of your classroom with everyone. It's so great to see how everyone sets their rooms up.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletei love the baskets under the chairs. Did you do that or did the chairs come with that set up? what a GREAT idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you- no bought them at Dollar Tree, drilled holes in them and zip-tied them to the chairs.
DeleteThey worked wonderfully!
Nice! I love the colored baskets on the student tables and chairs. Where did you get them?

Dollar Tree! Thank you!
DeleteOne more question about the baskets. Do they spill very often? This is my first year in K after 4th/5th who have desks. A very overwhelming change.
ReplyDeleteThe baskets underneath the chairs are secured with a zip tie. I do not have baskets on the tables anymore. They keep their crayons in a ziploc bag in the basket under their chair.
DeleteYou are going to love the extra space that giving up a desk creates. Good decision. Thanks for sharing. Liz :)

Thank you - I don't think I am going to miss it!
DeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteYour room looks great! Your new word wall looks adorable. Do you have your word wall cards available to purchase? I saw your word wall packet on TPT, but couldn't tell if those were in that packet.

DeleteLet me see what I can do...
DeleteI hope you can. I love those and they would work perfect in my classroom. I looked for something today at Lakeshore, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then I saw yours and they are perfect! Do you have a multicolor banner that matches those? I like the green, but I would rather do more colors. I couldn't get the multicolor ones to show the thumbnail for some reason.
DeleteWould you like it to be editable so you can use your own font for the headings, or do you want mine? I can do both.
DeleteI'd be happy to have exactly what you have!!! Thank you sooooo much!!! I am excited!
DeleteHey Mrs. Morrow- send me an email- kindertrips@yahoo.com.
DeleteYour room is adorable! I love all the colors and the organization! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteSwimming into Second
Your room is beautiful! Your shelves look fantastic lined with border!
ReplyDeleteHow did you attach the paper and borders to the book shelves??
ReplyDeletehot glue- I used the cooler kind not really really hot
DeleteHi, Can you tell me where the red shelving racks came from that hold their backpacks and jackets? I am so desperately in need of them. FOund some through teachers stores but they are very expensive! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey just come with our schools. I agree they would be very expensive to put in!
DeleteYour classroom is exceptional! Thank you for sharing the photos. I am inspired.
ReplyDeletelove your classroom! I would love to get your word wall template. Is it listed for purchase?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is in my store at TpT and it is editable.
DeleteYour classroom is so neat and organized. Did you make the seating for your classroom library or did you get it somewhere? Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTeaching Little Miracles
The bins that are under the student's chairs, did they work well for you? How did you keep them from sliding off? Love all the ideas! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo I just saw your center basket shelving on pinterest and I loved it! I didn't even realize it was my favorite mentor ever's picture! I can't wait to see you soon!!!
ReplyDeleteYour reference board, did you use primary colors or brights for your numbers and alphabet? I love your room!!!!
ReplyDeleteI use the brights! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteJen
Love your pictures- What did you use to make your Daily Standards display boards?
ReplyDeleteI sell the items I used to make the displays at TpT - look under the classroom decor category. I think they are all there. Thank you-Jen
ReplyDeleteI just recently purchased the sea canopy.....how did you hang yours from the ceiling? Thanks-Erin :)
ReplyDeleteI used a really strong magnetic hook that sticks to the metal frames in my ceiling tiles. Then I looped a zip tie and it hangs beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) -Erin
DeleteFirst off, Snow Day today and found your website, exciting stuff! I love to see another themed looking room to give me new ideas for next year, but I have the same exact cement walls as you do,. How do you keep things to stay up on your walls?
ReplyDeleteLove your room. I just bought a canopy from oriental trading company. I was wondering how you hung yours from the tiles ceiling. Did you use hooks or strings.
ReplyDeleteThere is a loop on the top.I put a zip tie through the loop and hung it using a magnetic hook used on the metal beam of the ceiling tiles.
ReplyDeleteHello! I am a first year teacher teaching 2nd grade and I am in LOVE with your owl clock signs! Where can I find them? Thanks! Jessie
ReplyDeleteI purchased them from TpT. I think the store was called Pink Cat Lady-something like that. Have a great year!
DeleteAwesome!! Thank you so much! Going to go see if I can find them now!
DeleteHi there! Love your set up! Where could I find the tens frame numbers above your reference wall?
