I got ideas from your Word Wall. Thanks for sharing!! Also the polka dot theme is very cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the room. Can you explain your poetry chain? Looks interesting..........
ReplyDeleteThe poetry chain is an idea I got from kinderbykim. I make large "cards" for whatever poems we focus on for each unit. So far, I've only made 3. I let my kids pull them down and read them and use wikki stix to circle sight words or letters. It's just another way for them to enjoy reading. Different than a book. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThis is so bright and colourful! i love it! as a new teacher this gave me some wonderful ideas for my own classroom!
ReplyDeleteLove your classroom. I really like the d-donut b-ball and bat sign you have on your calendar board. How do you link this for the students, what do you tell them to get them to make the link for themselves? I hope I'm being clear :)
ReplyDeleteFor the donut and bat sign...I tell them that /d/ /d/ donut starts with /d/ /d/ d...if you see a donut first then it's a d. /b/ /b/ bat starts with /b/ /b/ b so if you see a bat first then it's a b. Does that make sense? It really seems to help my kids discriminate b/t the two.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Romania!
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration for all teachers!
Congratulations!
You mentioned you couldn't teach without TLC. What is it and how do I find it?
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas. They are wonderful. Do you have help cutting things out etc.?
TLC are books that give specific instructions on creating pictures using construction paper. You can go to tlclessons.com to find out more and to order her books. If you are a K teacher I would def. begin with pre-k lessons and then move into the seasonal books. When you first begin it looks like so much to prep, but the outcome is totally worth it. Each child creates a unique piece of artwork.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have parents who help cut things out...as well as my sweet husband!
I love your classroom! I have to ask because I do not have much space in mine...do you assign seats or do they just do there work at a table in the center areas?
ReplyDeleteMy students have assigned seats. Thanks for you comment!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with the estimation jar?
ReplyDeleteI have a peanut butter jar that I put objects into. For example, if we are studying presidents I will put pennies in the jar. My students estimate how many are in the jar on Monday. We have a posterboard jar where we put our estimations that are on sticky notes. During the week we do different things with our sticky notes like point out the largest/smallest number, group them by same number, put them in order. On Friday, we count what's in the jar and see who guessed right or almost right. We also talk about good guesses and bad guesses.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea...So clever! I can't wait to share it with my Education classes (prospective teacher over here!) Your blog is great :)
DeleteMrs. Lee,
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me how you organize your centers? Are the printables part of your centers? (For example, the community helper activities that you put in the colored baskets) Or do your children do the activity baskets before going to centers?
Your room is amazing. My room is so little, so I have to really use things in a duel capacity! I love your ideas and appreciate you sharing your ideas!
ReplyDeleteJulie - Do your kiddos ever have a hard time reaching the IWB because of the purple shelf? I really want to put a shelf under mine, but afraid the kids won't be able to reach the board!
ReplyDeleteYour classroom is adorable!!

Beautiful classroom. I can't wait to get back to my classroom to decorate. I am interested in your coconut tree with the letters. Can you tell me what the tree is made from and how you use it. Where did you get the pattern and how does the top of the tree hang off the wall. Very cool for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!
ReplyDeleteI love your classroom! It is so colorful! Where did you get the colorful rug in your writing center. I am looking for something just like that! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, the tree is made with a "tin" roll from Lowes...it actually may be some sort of metal pipe, but it's very light weight. The top is half of an umbrella and felt hot glued to the umbrella. The umbrella sticks inside the pipe.
ReplyDeleteThe colorful rug is from K-Mart...I got it several years ago. :)
I love the poetry chain. I would love a copy of the poem that goes along with the rainbow hair person. It is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe room looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI love your room! I am hoping to move to kindergarten next year, and I am trying to get ideas because I currently teach 4th grade. Keeping my fingers crossed for kindergarten though! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your classroom!! I hope it is ok that I take a few ideas for my future classroom. :)
ReplyDeletei really love your classroom it's full of life!!... you have a lot of great ideas...
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your creativity shows in every detail of your room! I am 50 working on my teaching degree and would like to borrow your ideas of organization for my Language and Literacy Class which I would credit you for your assistance. I am currently working on Phonemes, Rimes, Alliteration, and Rhymes project. Could you share with me some ideas you use? Thanks for your time and dedication to teaching and your students!
ReplyDeleteI love your pocket charts on your center board and the one on your easel. They look short... where did you get them? I've been looking everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute classroom! When I think of the perfect kindergarten classroom, this is it!
ReplyDeleteEither you spend a lot of your own money, or you are in a very affluent school district which is not indicative of most public schools... Most teachers wish they could have the beautiful physical environment as the one portrayed.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your units. I have bought What's the Weather?, Silly Centers, and Happy Hearts. My students love them too and are very successful. I would love to have this unit.
