Official
Prep Day over.
8:30 am ½ a poppy muffin and a mug of coffee.
Thanks Admin. Food always helps a morning meeting feel.
11:00 our time. I
return to my cyclone of a room and want to start cleaning up and finish my
boards, but I want to know who my kids are more. So, a quick trip to the office to
preview their files. I love that we put a school photo in their files each year.
It helps with that first visual connection. I also tend to
remember their names faster. Okay – now I can finish my room.
Here are
photos of my main bulletin boards:
To the far right is my Concept/Question
area. I think this is unique to the Imagine It!/Open Court programs. It serves
as a good way to help students make connections to the unit theme. Unit 1 is
Friendship.
Next is the Vocabulary area. In 3rd grade we sort the
words by parts of speech.
Then comes the High Frequency Word Wall. Notice that
I use push pins to secure the words. I trap each word between the pins so
we can remove them easily and use as flashcards.
To the far left is my computer/
writing area. This is still a work in progress.(not shown)
Now I can clean my room. Will I ever be ready?
