I was lucky enough to have some time to work in my classroom this week and things are starting to come together a bit. I still need to get some book shelves and organize my supplies but it felt good to get some things put away.
I had the maintenance department leave the counters along the walls. This is where each student will have his or her own work space. They will have a spot to store their pencil box, books and folders and a tote to organize their iPad, headphones, keyboards, etc. The tables in the center of the room will then be used for pull out groups, mini-lessons or whole group activities where we want to sit together. I am anticipating some time where one grade level will be working independently at their work stations along the wall while I am teaching the other grade level at the center tables. I think overall this set up will work very well for the class I have this year.
I was also excited that maintenance hung my coat hooks and a few more shelves to help complete my space along that wall. Now I'm just waiting for the tech department to hang my monitor so I can start putting up my bulletin boards and calendar space.
I still have A LOT of work to do but it felt good to start putting my space together and I'm happy with the progress today.
