A Visual Peek

I realize how little parents and family members get to actually be in our classroom and thought that it would be a great time to take pictures of our classroom so you can see where we "live" and do all this hard work each day!   I've taken random pictures of our work, our walls, us working, our spaces and of course US!

First off...our room!
We have 20 student desks, a working table, a Teacher table where we do reading groups, and several bookshelves for daily use.

Here is what our walls currently look like --- full of anchor charts that we've made together!  Can you tell we've been working on different chunks?  We also have become masters with adjectives, verbs and nouns!

We still have our map of the USA up.  As we continue to work with our Skype penpals and read Little House in the Big Woods...it's come in very handy!

And of course, our book boxes.  The kiddos each have their own box full of books they are interested in as well as books that they've received from their reading groups.

We have been documenting our year with calendars and photos too!  These visual reminders have helped the kiddos and myself reflect about what we've done.  Wow our calendars fill up fast! 

In the hallway we try to display the great things we're doing in our classroom.
After becoming masters at nouns, verbs and adjectives we created these snowman posters to show what we know. Students used adjectives to describe their snowmen.




We also read about Snowmen at Night and wrote about what we would do if we were a snowman/snowgirl.  This went well with all those snow days we had early on this year! (fingers crossed that those days are done for the year)

I hope this glimpse gave you some insight into the classroom to see where you kiddo works each and every day!

What part was your favorite or most interesting in our classroom? Leave a comment below and one of the kiddos will get to reply to you!
