Classroom Pictures!!!!

Hello, all! I know it has been kind of slow around here... I have just been so busy traveling, decorating my house, and setting up my classroom! This is my first year to be called "Mrs. Hearn" and I am very excited. I received my class roster today, and I cannot WAIT to meet my new little friends! I spent most of my morning labeling the classroom with their names. Then, I decided to take some pictures of my new (and improved!) room. Last year, there was ZERO bird-themed classroom décor, so I basically had to create everything from scratch. Of course, this year, Lakeshore has a ton of bird stuff! So, I stuck with my bird theme, but I rearranged my classroom and added lots more cutesy stuff. (AND, I got an ABC RUG this year!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!)

Eventually, I am going to hang up my students' work for the kids to read.

I finally bought some of Lakeshore's giant magnetic letters!!

The "100 Club" was such a success last year. I decided to make a "Pete the Cat Shoe Tying Club" poster to go along with it!

I borrowed these classroom management ideas for another blogger (http://learningadventureswithmrsgerlach.blogspot.com/2012/09/motivational-magic.html). I am excited to see how the kids respond to them!

(You can purchase these chevron ten frame posters at my TPT store for $2.00!)

 

I made a shoe-tying center this year!!!!!

 My husband helped me make these little birds. :)

I made a goody bag similar to this one last year. It was a big hit!

I also gave my Kinders a "Sweet Dreams" card last year, and I thought they were so sweet! I updated the picture on the front, as well as the graphics. I am so excited to hand these out next week!

Yay for environmental print!!!

The view from my teaching table... :)

I created a couple of new things for my guided reading groups. Hopefully, they will come in handy!
