So here it goes.... my big classroom reveal!
I know it's not August, but I have changed my room around a hundred times from then until now!!!
I think it is finally set up the way I want it!
This is my classroom from the door.
I have alternate (flexible) seating in my classroom so I have lots of different options for my students.
To read more about alternate seating in my classroom follow the link below:
Here is a link to a You Tube video
This is my kitchen area and my Writing Wall.
This wall includes anchor charts, writing posters, Brag Tags, story elements, and our word jar where we add new vocabulary.
This is a closer view of some of my writing anchor charts. We have our writing friends posters from my Writing Journal & Writing Friends product on TPT (these are great to help my kiddos remember the different elements of writing).

I also have posters from Deanna Jumps Writing unit.
On our writing tree we have added post it notes of different topics that we can write about. This activity was completed after reading the book Rocket Writes a Story by Tad Hills

I have added Rocket to our writing tree. During Writer's Workshop I pick one student who is working hard and they get to have our stuffed Rocket sit with them as they write.
They are my Rocket Writer of the day!
These are my Brag Tags!
If you have not used brag tags in your classroom they are a game changer!
I learned about them from a blog post by Lucky Little Learners.
You can check out my post on Brag Tags and how I use them in my class by clicking the link below.

This is my computer area. I have 4 desktop computers in my classroom and 1:1 iPads.
This is the view of my classroom from the front. These are student cubbies, mailboxes, and a lowered table for students who want to sit on cushions.
This is my teacher table. This is where work with small groups and my guided reading groups.
My Popcorn Word Wall...this is a work in progress. This used to be where my writing wall is now. I found that my students use this resource more now that it is at their level. (Note the crooked letters and words!) Definitely more assessable for my students now. I am working on making the words a little smaller so that I can fit more words on this bulletin board.
This is part of my classroom library.
The rest of my classroom library, my calendar, and class birthdays.
This year I went with garden gnomes, toadstools, and hedgehogs. It was such a fun theme!
Now for a few of my own personal touches.
Above my desk! I love color!
Thanks @rusticwagon for these amazing pieces!
That's right toadstool seats!
"Gnomie" our class mascot! Sometimes he leaves us notes.
I hope you enjoyed taking a peak into my classroom!
