My Classroom!!!

  I have spent the last two weeks solid fixing up my preschool classroom.
I will be the only teacher in my room of 3's, five days a week...with 12 children a day.

 

I am looking forward to it and wanted my classroom to reflect my JOY in teaching preschool.

It was a bare slate to work with.
Thankfully I had all of the furniture a teacher could wish for at my disposal.

 Lots of space and a split room/ half carpet and half tile. PLUS a supply closet, a sink and a kids bathroom! AND a window...who could ask for more?

With the help of Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Mardel, and Michaels...I was able to get my room ready to welcome young children!

This shelf is what you see when you walk in. It is for teacher touching only and has bins to organize all of my lesson plan activities for the week.

 

The rest of these photos are pretty self explanatory!

I think it is important to offer books in EVERY corner of the room. There are truck books in block center, children's cook books in home living, a class library near the rug, and books in writing center!

 
Next to circle time is a tent I set up as the "calming corner". This allows children to have a little time away from the group if they are feeling overwhelmed. There are activities of a sensory nature to do in the tent to calm down.

 

 

I am very excited to be teaching 5 days a week.

Jasmine will be right next door in 2's preschool.

 

Our first two weeks are themed "Going to school and I make friends at school".
There are lots of apple activities and school buses at the first of a new school year. :)
