Classroom Tour

Check out some snapshots from my fifth grade classroom:

 

"Cafe" board/ command center

Door "Welcome" Sign

"iRead" board with old headphones

 

 

Library close-ups

 

The middle and top section are sorted by author. (I love these green bins...thank you, Deals!)

These still need pretty labels, but this is the beginning of the books organized by guided reading level. You can also see the pink bins. These are two of the most popular among students. One is "Liked the movie? You'll love the book!" and one is "Miss S recommends" (I rotate books into that bin often).

Some favorite authors!  The boards in back are where students put their "check out card" from within each book to show it has been checked out.

 



Over my desk.  The clipboard has phone extensions and other important papers.  The frames have a class list and a "to-do" wipe off board.
