Hi everyone, it's Becky. I'm linking up with the fabulous ladies over at Blog Hoppin' to show you where I teach! I've been working very hard to get ready for my kiddos on Wednesday, and I'm very excited to share the (almost) finished product with you! I don't do classroom themes...If I had to name it, I would just call it "stuff I like!" I really just pick out things that I like and hope they go together! In the end, everything seems to work out!
I'll start with the outside of my room. I loved @cfry27's s'more birthday board she posted awhile back on IG, and kept it in my mind as a jumping off point for my BTS bulletin board! I'm so pleased with the way it turned out! (Funny thing is that although I do love s'mores, I'm not really a camping gal!)
This is the view from my doorway. It is such a nice bright room! I love the way my classroom library has turned out!
Here's a better view of the classroom library. This just makes me happy! I used my Cameo to cut the "READ" letters from contact paper to give that area more personality!
I also love the way this project turned out! I covered the back of my bookshelf with contact paper and washi tape. This is going to be a new space to go with my writing station. I will be writing about this in a blog post once we get reading groups/stations up and running!

One of the big changes I made this year is that I got rid of my huge teacher desk! With having 23 kids in my room, I needed all of the space I could get, so the desk had to go! I couldn't get rid of a desk completely (I'm not that good!), so I traded it in for a much cuter, smaller option! (Found it on Craigslist for $40...didn't have to do a thing to it! I consider that a bargain!) I also made a teacher toolbox to give me a space to put some of the things I hoarded in my big desk! I also love the chevron fabric and burlap boarder above my desk. Let me tell you, arranging burlap is not an easy task, but I'm happy with how it turned out!
This is a panorama shot of the front of my classroom. For some reason I like to have my groups at an angle. I can't deal with everything straight out from my board! By the way, my favorite part of this view is my awesome EPSON projector mounted above my board. I don't know what I'd do without it! If you look under the board, you can see where we are going to place our mentor sentences. (See close-up below.) I wanted these sentences to be somewhere easily accessible for my kiddos when they are writing.
Well thank you for taking a tour of my room! Be sure to link up with Blog Hoppin' to share your space! I can't wait to see everyone's hard work! We really do put our heart and soul into our rooms to make them just right for our kiddos!
Greg still has another week before his district starts, so his room is not quite ready. But I do have to share this awesome bulletin board that he finished today! He used paint samples to create it!
Also, don't forget about the big TPT 1 day sale happening on Wednesday! Everything in my Wim's Winners store is 20% off, and with the code BOOST you will get 28% off! Wednesday is the first day of school with my firsties, so I will be doing my shopping in the evening!
Until next time everyone! Have a great week getting to know your kiddos!
