This last week has had me in my classroom three times. Getting everything ready for the first day of school is very exciting for me! I love how I can practically see my reflection in the freshly waxed floors, clean desk tops, and brand new butcher paper for my bulletin boards.
My first job was rearranging the furniture back into collaborative groups. When I first walked in, my classroom was set up in the traditional rows. Nope! Now my desks are set up for small group work. My bulletin boards are also now ready to be utilized for student learning. I decided this year instead of being used for decoration, that I would set them up as elements of the learning environment. One board will be for school related information, one will be used as an anchor chart, one for a word wall, and the other will be used for the project based learning unit we are working on. My goal is for the boards to help students be successful in geography class.
As my room moves nearer to completion, I become more excited about August 25th. I know that not only will I, but my students too, will have an awesome year!
