Classroom Progress

Whelp my room is coming along! I've been in a few hours here and there but today I went and worked all day and I'm feeling pretty good about where I'm at as far as unpacking and putting things up. I feel a million steps ahead of where I was at this point last year. One year ago today my husband and I were just arriving in Minnesota from our cross country move from Nevada. It's hard to believe that it has only been a year! Here are some pictures I snapped of my room before I left today. When It's all ready - piles put away, bulletin boards up, etc. I'll do a more in depth tour. Who knows.... maybe it will be a video;).

This is the view when you walk into my classroom. There is a "kitchen table" style table in my book corner area. On the back side of the table bench there are two book cases filled with baskets of chapter books loaned to me by my friend who moved down to teach kinder this year.  The "kitchen table" is also hers.

 Here is another shot from that same place but over a little so you can see my side wall and desk arrangement. Over near the flag is my teacher area with my desk and a bookshelf for my materials. On the right is my guided reading table.

 From this view you can see my guided reading table in the back corner. You can also see a little bit of the back of my reading corner area.

For some reason I can't type above this picture... Anyway this is a picture of my reading corner and the view toward the door of my classroom. Don't mind the piles of stuff on the desks still. :)

 Here is another view from my desk area. You can see more of the reading corner and also off to the right there is a writing nook there. I think I'm going to choose one "writer of the day" to be able to sit back there and write.

Here is a view of my room from my guided reading area.
