The 2nd Door to the Left

After spending entirely too long on Pinterest and Google searching for the perfect classroom theme, I just decided my theme would revolve around organization. I have never had the privilege of teaching all core subjects, so I wanted to give every subject its equal amount of space on the walls. This is what I came up with.


This is what our room looked like. (Before!)


This is the view as you walk in.
You can see my Elmo podium , our class library, and our Social Studies board. 



I have 5 groups. The blue buckets function as mail boxes.
I place all materials for the day in the buckets so I don't waste time passing things out. 


Another view of the Social Studies area. Also, our textbooks are located underneath. 

This is our Math/Science board.
All boards change frequently depending on the particular subject we are studying. 

This is the Art & Religion board. Also, I am still working on a better reading nook area, but there are a couple bean bags now. :)  
This is the other side of the room. I have an assignment board with a homework reminder area. Also, I have an interactive "Body Systems" board. In the back, you can see the sink area. Have I mentioned how AWESOME each classroom is?!

This is the located on the outside of my room. This too will be changing frequently. 

Here is my corner of the room. :) Feel free to replenish my flowers at any time!

The back wall!

Thanks for visiting our room!
