I was able to work in my classroom a little this week.
Here's what my room looked like after Day 1!
I swear there's a little progress! :)
The bins in the bottom of the cubbies will be used for book bins.
Just missing the labels I need to print and laminate!
I had to run back to the store and snag a few more blue bins yesterday- so glad I found them! :)
I've taught K for 4 years, so I've never had to use my chapter book library.
This weekend (in between all of the family fun we have planned!) I'm hoping to start leveling my books so I can add them to my bins next week.
I've heard there are great apps for this....
Do you have any website or app recommendations for me?

Houston, we have a PROBLEM.
MY 1st grade teacher retired this year and gave me these wonderful mailboxes (how cool is THAT?!)But... here's the problem.
I thought they would fit under my cabinets here:
They apparently have other plans.
They won't fit! Ahh...
This brings me to set them here and I hate the windows being blocked!
So... what do YOU use for classroom mailboxes?!
Help a sista out! :)

All 4 years of K, I've had a HUGE classroom rug that I (well my hubby and my dad) have had to roll up and lug out of my classroom.
This year, I got rid of it in hopes to order SitSpots for my new room.
I'm SOOOOOOO excited, I ordered my SitSpots today!
As soon as they arrive, I'll share them with you!
I ordered the bright blue and lime green colors for my new theme.
SO much cheaper than purchasing a rug.
I love the fact I am able to reposition and use them year and year without damaging the floor.

Have a safe and Happy 4th!
Hi Kacie, Your new room is going to be beautiful! I'm a little sad you're moving up to 2nd, though new adventures are always good. I, too, am considering some sit spots– I ordered the sample to see how it works. Kidpeople Classroom
ReplyDeletep.s. Did you read Carolyn's Funny Kid Friday post- another hysterical one! Later...
Hi Kathleen!
DeleteMy sit spots came in SO QUICKLY! I was pretty impressed with the shipping! I haven't tried them yet, but I can't wait to get everything organized and in my new room to try them out!
I'll have to back track and read up on her post! I've been on a little blogger hiatus this week- just mainly active on FB. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
One year I tried hanging a shoe organizer. It got the job done but isn't it for the long haul. Some kids were tough on it. Could you find a cute table for the mailboxes? I've done that when the counter wasn't an option.
ReplyDeleteThe shoe organizer is a great idea, too! It reminded me that I actually have a double sided pocket chart that hangs on a stand.. hmmm.. I also *may* have a spot for a table, too. I'll have to see what works next week! Thanks for the ideas and stopping by!
DeleteI use plastic file trays for mailboxes. They work great and you can stack them in many different ways. :o).

Plastic file trays are a great idea! I haven't quite decided WHAT to do yet! Thanks for the suggestion and stopping by! :)
