Classroom Tour: 2021-2022

It’s time for a new school year (and hopefully a more normal year!)! I’m excited about the adventure that awaits and I’m excited to show you our classroom. We are following all of our district guidelines as they are now. Of course, everything is subject to change so we’re going to be flexible and adapt as necessary. We are allowed to use shared supplies, our carpets, and centers. We are encouraging social distancing as much as possible and I will continue to use our enhanced cleaning procedures from last year. There is a video tour at the end of the post and I highly encourage to watch and listen as I explain things in depth in the video!

The Classroom

The biggest change in our classroom this year is the return of the rugs and flexible seating. We have created plenty of space so we can spread out when we work. When we gather for the whole group, we will utilize the oval carpet and round carpet so we are not sitting as close together. This year we kept our blue/green/orange color scheme but we added new borders from The Superhero Teacher! The room is once again designed so the students own as much of the space as possible!

Whole Group Area

This is where we have our morning meetings, do our mini-lessons, end the day with dance parties and learn and play! The alphabet and number line are available in our store and are linked at the end of this post. The easel is moved to the carpet when we are doing whole group lessons. When it’s not in use, the easel is moved out of the way to open up more space for us to work! The furniture in our room is on wheels so it can be easily moved to allow for much more open space for any activity or game we might want to play! I love the flexibility of our classroom!

Small Group Area

The big change to our small group area is that we removed our beloved mustache rug. We have also kept this area as small as possible so the kids have as much of the room as possible. We have a detailed post about this small group area linked at the end of this post. The stools are from Amazon and can be found HERE !

Calm Down Area And Seating Areas

The big orange chair is SOOOO comfy that it’s dangerous. IF you sit down it, you’ll never get up. Seriously ya’ll. I sit there and it makes me so sleepy and1 cozy. But it makes the PERFECT calm down area for the kids. The blue bag is a calm down kit from Kitful And Co . I LOVE these kits. The bag is filled with fidgets and calm down toys and cards for helping kids talk about their feelings! These are a must have for the classroom (and home if you have kids!) The other pic shows off some of the seating areas we offer and our sensory bin and light box!

Supplies And Storage

Community supplies are returning! You’ll notice the hand sanitizer jug. They will santize their hands before using supplies! The supplies will be sanitized daily with the steam sanitizer and Lysol throughout the day! We also got a new speaker system called a FrontRow Juno! It was funded by Reese Witherspoon through Donor’s Choose!

These are the cabinets in our room. This is where we store our art supplies, plates, napkins, utensils and cleaning supplies! These cabinets got a major purge a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I’m so glad I did it! So much more organized and so much more space. The clear containers are shoe boxes from The Container Store!

With so many cleaning supplies and PPE, I needed a way to store them and have them easily accessible! I saw this idea on Instagram (ya’ll, if you know who posted this please tell me so I can give them all the credit for this brilliant idea!)! These are recycling bins from The Container Store!

The classroom library is the first thing you see when you enter the classroom! It’s organized in a kid and teacher friendly way to it’s usable and accessible to everyone! There is a detailed post linked at the end of this post on how we organize the books!

This is the closet in our classroom! This also got a major purge this year. If I didn’t touch it for a year or so it went bye bye. Now there’s so much more space and I love it! But it won’t stay this clean for long! hehe

Here is a video tour of the classroom that shows all areas of the classroom and explains the room and how everything is used!

Classroom Reveal 2022-2023

The 2022-2023 school year officially begins for me on Wednesday, so how about a quick classroom tour? 

I want to start off by saying that 75% of my classroom is made up of personal items that I have collected, purchased or had donated.  After 17 years in education, you find ways to get the things you really want in your classroom without buying it all at one time.  So, new teachers, don’t compare. Remember that it has taken me a long time to get to this point, and I’ve also had many items donated to my room as well.

This is a quick view of the front of my classroom.  When this picture was taken, the picnic table had not yet arrived. 

This is a view of the back of the classroom.  Most of the classroom is exactly the same as it was last year.  I have the exact same shelves, tables, etc.  I just rearranged and swapped out boards as well as added a few decorations that really make the room cozier.  I did add a few new elements to our room:  a new calm down corner, Target tables with foot stools, and a picnic table.

After much debate and tons of searching, I found this table and splurged.  It is the perfect size for first graders and can hold up to four students.  During summer school I did have six students try it to sit there, but it was way too small for that many.  They all wanted a turn to sit here and loved that it was their perfect size.  Click here to purchase from Amazon.

The calm down corner is really a bed canopy draped over my filing cabinets. I added a small cushion in the middle to make the spot comfy.  This is a special place in our classroom for de-escalating, taking a break, or cooling down when strong emotions are beginning to emerge. Since COVID and safety protocols have changed I moved this important space into our rooms.  The canopy allows students to feel safe.  I placed this near my small group table so I can be close by if needed, but it is also placed at the back of the room so that it reduces distractions and negative attention seeking behaviors.

Our friends at Hand2Mind sent us several goodies that are now available at Target ,including these Sensory Fidget Tubes .  These are perfect for our calm down corner and will be sure to keep disruptions to a minimum, since they can be flipped and turned over without making noises.  

Around our room I added lots of items from the Teacher Created Resources “Everyone is Welcome” line.  The colors match what I already have in my room, and are very calm and muted.  I want my classroom to be welcoming, but also calming; otherwise so much clutter can cause added stress or overstimulation for students.  I try to only display the necessities, and reduce as much clutter or unnecessary decorations as possible.

I used their words of affirmations to go around our sink mirror.  The boys and girls love checking out wiggly teeth here, as well as their hair.  Click here for the link to these message cards.

I also put up a welcome banne r, number line and inspirational messages.  We found having the number line up on the wall during summer school was very helpful for students to refer back to as we counted or worked on number order.

I also used their job chart because we all know how hard it is to keep track of line leader and other classroom jobs.  I love having as many jobs as possible to help make sure everyone takes ownership of our classroom.  Another job I added this year, after talking with a fabulous kindergarten teacher, was sweepers or broom helpers at the end of the day.  She mentioned the kids loved sweeping the floors each day and what an awesome job they did.

I grabbed this broom set from Amazon and, of course, the summer school students loved it when it was their turn to sweep and hold the dust pan.  Who knew?!?

Along with a job chart, I also added a flexible seating chart as well.  This will help us as we are choosing our learning spots and help reduce confusion as to where everyone is sitting.

I anticipate that the picnic table will be very popular this year.

I also think the students will love this work space as well.  The teal tables were on clearance at Target this summer for $10 each and the “foot stools” were from Dollar Tree/Family Dollar for $5 each.  Pretty awesome flexible seating options for around $30 total!

Finally, my back bulletin boards needed a little sprucing as well.  I made the word wall so I can include content related words (not “snap” or “sight” words).  We will also display our names here as well.  

One of my biggest summer projects was creating this sound wall.  I wanted something that matched my classroom, but more importantly, served as a working and a usable board in our classroom.  You can see more about this display by clicking here.

I’m looking forward to meeting 20+ new students on Friday!  Let the new school year begin!!!

Virtual Tours Are Taking Off. Here’s How to Integrate Them Into Your Teaching

Educator James Fester wrote this post.

It is said that every place tells one story better than any other place.

As a volunteer educator at Angel Island State Park in San Francisco, I came to appreciate this more deeply. I was lucky to have such an excellent teaching environment. The park, which covers an island in the middle of San Francisco Bay, tells a multilayered story. It has been the site of Indigenous settlements, Civil War fortifications, World War II embarkation facilities, and the U.S.’s main West Coast immigration station from 1910 to 1940. The visitors who participated in my program were surrounded by an environment full of resources that I could leverage to illustrate my points and that they could explore to fulfill their own curiosity. I’d always wished I could duplicate in my classroom the kind of learning that took place in the park.

Fortunately, California State Parks developed the PORTS Home Learning Programs , which provide distance learning to students across the state. The creation of a virtual tour took this concept a step further, allowing students to explore parts of Angel Island on their own.

These resources weren’t unique to Angel Island, with many other parks and museums creating their own virtual experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic for learners of all sorts to use. Educational sites and organizations that previously catered to visiting student groups were forced to close down, but like classroom educators, they didn’t give up. Rather, they began rapidly adapting to distance learning, and the result was an explosion in virtual tours.

As a park volunteer, I saw this occur firsthand. The same pivoting that occurred in thousands of classrooms also happened at parks, zoos, museums, and aquariums across the United States, and the result was a rapid increase in interactive and virtual experiences that engaged students and promoted deeper thinking.

These kinds of resources aren’t backed up just by anecdotal evidence. Multiple studies have shown that the inclusion of virtual tours and trips in curriculum increases reading comprehension , helps promote global awareness among isolated or rural populations , and can be used to effectively engage and reduce dropout rates for at-risk populations of students .

However, even the fanciest website, with all sorts of interactive buttons, isn’t automatically a valuable learning experience. It is just a resource unless you pair it with a method. The tour needs to be supported by a framework that encourages the kinds of exploratory activities that give learners the opportunity to find and construct their own answers.

Creating activities that both incorporate virtual exploration and connect to the National Geographic Learning Framework can be done in a lot of different ways. Here are a few:

• Similar to exploring a physical environment, exploring a virtual environment requires observation. For example, students learning about differences between how people live today and how people lived long ago might take this 3D tour of Hampton National Historic Site. They could record their observations in a Venn diagram or share them during an all-class discussion.
• Students can be given a question or inquiry challenge, then can collaborate in pairs or small groups, discussing what they are learning as they navigate through an experience. For example, students can use this interactive tour of Carlsbad Caverns to learn about the site’s complex cave ecosystems, then get into small groups to construct annotated diagrams of ecosystem features based on what they learned.
• Virtual tours help promote awareness of distant cultural resources and natural wonders. Without virtual tours, archeological marvels like Mesa Verde National Park were inaccessible to millions and millions of people. Now, through platforms like YouVisit , global audiences can experience this place and hopefully turn that awareness into empathy for its protection and preservation.
• When virtual exploration is structured along inquiry-based lines, student curiosity becomes the driver, allowing for choice and interest to guide learning. Using a broad, open-ended question like “How do monuments communicate meaning?” and allowing students choice as they explore memorials and monuments helps them learn how sculpture and symbolism convey meaning. 3D models of locations like the Lincoln Memorial and Mount Rushmore help students stay engaged and investigate more deeply.

These great resources will get you started teaching with virtual tours:

• Google Arts & Culture has an extensive collection of resources you can use to create immersive virtual experiences for students interested in exploring the natural and cultural wonders preserved by the National Park Service!
• CyArk is a fantastic site that includes amazing virtual tours that are navigable and narrated, as well as terrific 3D models that are manipulable. They also curate great collections, like this collection focusing on social justice and equal rights .
• The National Park Service provides a multitude of options for exploring virtually. Visit their website for a selection of virtual tours and multimedia resources, or check out the Virtual Passport Cancellation activities offered by a nonprofit partner of the park service.
• Finally, my COVID-19 Remote Learning Emergency Fund project, funded by the National Geographic Society, allowed me to create resources that can be used by any teacher to develop their own Google-powered virtual tours and explorations! I wanted to create exemplary virtual tours that could be used either on their own or by teachers interested in making their own virtual tours.

Elementary music classroom tour 2022-2023.

2 comments :

Love your millions of ideas--thanks so much for sharing! Question: Do you have color codes only for the groups in each class (I saw where you have kids earn points by color, thus teaming them up with students in other grades--love that!), or do you also color-code each grade? I'm trying to figure out how to set mine up and I like to do one color per grade but your thing is also great. My brain sorts in colors! Thanks a gazillion!

I do both- they are separate systems both coded by color- although the color coding by grade is more for me and the color coded groups are for the students, so they stay separate in my mind and don't seem to confuse the kids. I don't think they're really aware of the colors I have for each grade but if you watch the quick video tour you'll see those colors used in the picture frames on the wall next to the ukuleles, where I write each grade's lesson objectives, and in the posters on the back blue wall next to the boomwhackers, that show the grade level expectations for each grade. I also use the grade color coding for my drawers in my closet where I keep current papers and materials for each grade, in my planner where I write my lessons, and in my filing cabinet where I keep originals of worksheets, manipulatives, etc to use with each grade year to year.

YES!!! I WANT THESE!

classroom tour: a peek inside my 5th grade classroom.

Update: For a more recent classroom tour, check out my recent Youtube video!

Two years ago I switched schools and moved into a brand new (to me) classroom! Although I’ve posted many pictures of my room on my Instagram account, I haven’t done a classroom tour blog post yet, so I figured I’d round up some of my favorite classroom photos over the last two years to give you a closer peek into the space I spend most of my days during the school year! I rearranged a few things during these past couple years (got rid of my teacher desk, moved our small group table and mailboxes, etc.), but hopefully these pictures give you a general idea of my classroom environment! I’ve also included some affiliate links to help you easily find the resources I use and love in my classroom!

Classroom Library

Our classroom library is my favorite part of the classroom! You can read more about my classroom library and how it is organized in my post here !

Classroom Stage

After visiting the Ron Clark Academy, I just knew I had to get a stage in my classroom! I had a wonderful parent of a student volunteer to build one for me and my students absolutely LOVE it! They have lots of opportunities to stand on the stage and teach the class and share their learning!

Small Group Area

This school year I got rid of my teacher desk and moved our small group table where my desk used to be! I meet with small groups frequently throughout the day, and when I’m not meeting with groups, students love to come and work at this table! In the fall I got a whiteboard table to replace this table, which is amazing! Students love writing on it, especially during our math small groups!

Desk Arrangement

I went from teaching at a school with smaller class sizes to one with larger class sizes, so figuring out how to arrange student desks was a challenge! I like to have my students sitting in groups, and over the past two years I’ve had desks in groups with 4-9 students at each group!

My students are constantly collaborating throughout the day, so it is important for me to have them sitting in groups where there can easily discuss ideas and work together. I have a supply caddy in the middle of each team, and each student has a cup to keep their pencils, erasers, and other supplies that we use on a regular basis.

Student Mailboxes

I inherited these student mailboxes from another teacher, however since I have more students in my class now, I had to get another smaller set of student mailboxes to stack under the original ones! I number student mailboxes by gluing numbers on binder clips ( see my blog post all about it ). Students store their iPad keyboards in their mailboxes, in addition to any mail that gets passed out to go home.

Student Photo Wall

Our student photo wall takes up half of the back wall of our classroom and is full of student photos with their favorite inspirational quotes and goals! You can read more about it + get the template here !

Writing Wall

Our writing wall is a place to display amazing student writing! I bought the writing letters at Jo-Ann’s Fabrics and spray painted them with silver glitter spray paint. Then I hot-glued thumb tacks to the back of them so they would stay up on the wall!

Supply Cart, Math Manipulatives, and Clipboards

Reading Graffiti Wall

You can read more about how we use our Reading Graffiti Wall in my blog post here !

Scholastic Magazine Classroom Feature

My classroom is my home-away-from-home, and I love making it a comfortable, colorful, and functional place for my students and myself. Last year I was honored to have my classroom featured in Scholastic Magazine! You can read parts of the article and see pictures from that photoshoot here !

Here is a list of resources that I’ve used in my classroom!

• Classroom Library Labels
• Name tags on student chairs
• Chalkboard numbers for Leadership League
• Accountable Talk bulletin board
• Book Recommendation Cards
• Inspirational Classroom Posters

I hope you enjoyed my classroom tour! I love our classroom space and already have a few new ideas in mind for next year! A special thanks to Stephen Simpson for the first and last classroom pictures in this post!

What a beautiful classroom! I love all the colors.

I absolutely LOVE your classroom decor! I’m going to be starting my first year as an Autism teacher in August and have been obsessed with colorful classrooms. Your’s is by far my favorite! I’m wondering where you got that super cute map? It’s ADORABLE

Hi Macy! Thank you so much! I actually made the made the map! I posted a tutorial here with lots of step-by-step pictures!!! https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/

I’m completely in love with your classroom!! It’s so so pretty!! I wish my class was like yours, I’m sure my kids would have lots of fun!

Thank you SO much, Elena! It took several years of purchasing teaching supplies, books, and materials! My classroom during my first year teaching looked much different! Ha! Thanks so much for your sweet comment!

Where did you get your desk caddies? Really Good Stuff?

Hi Mark! I got most of them from Michael’s, but the orange one is from Lakeshore! I’m not sure if Really Good Stuff carries them or not, but that would be another great place to check!

Love your room and organization! How did you create the cursive lettering on the Reading graffiti wall? Do you type the word in PDF and then print and cut out by hand? If so, how large did you make the font letters and what font did you use? Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much, Ashley! I actually have a Silhouette that I used to cut the letters! I’m sure you could do it the other way too, but that would be a lot of work! I can’t remember the size, but the fonts I used were KG The Fighter and KG Part of Me!

Thank you for sharing your classroom. Can you tell us more about your Reading Graffiti wall? What is written, is is chalkboard paper and how do you refer to it or is it more decoration? Thanks

Hi Casey! I have a whole blog post about it here: https://lessonswithlaughter.com///reading-graffiti-wall/ Hope that helps!!

Hi! Loving these ideas so much! Where did you get that teacher tool box thing on type of the white shelves behind your desk?

Hi Katy! It is from Lowe’s! It was a dark blue (or grey… I can’t remember!) when I purchased it, so I just spray painted it white!

Where did you get your US map? I want one!! : )

Hi Ruth! I made it! I posted a step-by-step tutorial with lots of pictures here! https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/

Love the room! I just recently went to RCA came back inspired and want a stage in my room. What are the dimensions of your stage? I am moving from kindergarten to 2nd grade this year and changing my decor a little bit to be more spa like and inspirational with fun encouraging quotes.

Oh my goodness, isn’t RCA so inspirational?! It is such an amazing experience! I had a parent make the stage for me and I can’t remember the exact dimensions! I will have to measure the next time I’m in my classroom! It sounds like your new classroom is going to be amazing!

Where do you post your standards and essential questions in your room?

Hi Alice! Our district isn’t big on posting them, but when I do I just write them down on the white board!

Hey! Where is the math “TIME” poster from? I am obsessed with your classroom, great work!!!!

Hi Kelsie! The math posters are from Ladybug’s Teacher Files! She has a whole post about how she uses them in her classroom and they are AMAZING!! Thank you so much!

I LOVE the colorful bright room & ALL you did with it! Where did you get the black & white polka dotted rug? Also the #READ letters with lights? Thanks! Michelle

Hi Michelle! Thank you so much! The black and white rug is from IKEA, but sadly they don’t sell it anymore! They have a black and white striped one though, which is what I’m using for my library this year! The #READ letters are from Target, but they don’t sell those plastic ones anymore! They have metal ones, but no hashtag! Maybe you can find them at another craft store or online? It’s always such a bummer when stores stop selling the really great stuff that we love!

What a beautiful classroom! I love how all the colors combine together. I am going to try and change up my classroom design this year and I might borrow some of your ideas! Where did you get that awesome U.S. map?

Thanks so much, Kalli! I love bright colors and could never just decide on just a couple, so I decided to use them all! Ha! I actually made the map! I have a step-by-step tutorial with lots of pictures here! https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/

Love your white bench and the adorable striped, polka dot & pom pom trimmed pillows! Can you share where they came from?

Thanks, Lisa! The white bench and rug are from IKEA, although they don’t sell the polka dot one anymore! They have a new black and white striped one though, which is what I’m using for our library this year! The pom pom pillows are from Hobby Lobby!

Thanks for sharing these pictures. Your classroom is incredible. Makes me motivated to keep working on mine! I am in the process of creating a stage in my classroom too. Could you tell me what the dimensions of your are? Also, I am super curious about the leadership league. Can you tell me about it?

Thanks so much, Maureen! My students LOVE our stage! I’m not sure what the exact dimensions are, so I’ll have to measure for you next time I go in! And I did a whole blog post on our Leadership League! You can read it here: https://lessonswithlaughter.com///from-homework-club-to-leadership-league/ !

Where did you get that map of the united states!?

Hi Kyle! I made it! I have a step-by-step tutorial here! https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/

Moving to 5th grade and your classroom makes me SO excited! May I ask what you used for your “reading graffiti” letters? A cricket?

Where did you get your colorful map from??

Hi Wendy! I bought the canvas and painted it! I have a tutorial with lots of pictures that you can see here: https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/ Hope that helps!

I love your classroom! I teach 5th grade and my classroom is teal, grey, and black. I’m planning on adopting some of your awesome ideas. When I read the article in the magazine I noticed that you use a number file system for students to hand in their papers. Did you make the number files or did you buy them? Can you please share where you got this? Thank you for your inspiration!

Hi Laycie! Thank you so much! Yes,that file system is amazing! I bought it on Amazon back in 2012 and still use the same one since it has held up so well! Here is my affiliate link! http://amzn.to/2vaVGVH

Love your classroom!! Did you create your clipboard and manipulative labels using your computer? If so are they on your TPT?

Hi Tammy! I got the clipboard label from Ladybug’s Teacher Files! Yes, I created the manipulative labels on my computer, but those ones aren’t on TPT! I have other supply labels on TPT though (including editable ones) under my name: Molly Maloy!

Your classroom is adorable!! Where did you get your team cart with the markers and stuff on it and the white cupboard with the clips boards on the bottom shelf?

Thanks so much, Kallie! The cart is from IKEA, but I don’t think they sell that color anymore! I think Michael’s and Target both have a similar one though! The bookshelf is from IKEA and is the Billy one! Hope that helps!

Do you do all of your series’ in bins? I am redoing my library alphabetically and have all my series’ on the shelves grouped together after the other books. I am just curious to know what you think has worked best for you. My husbands boss just bought me all new book shelves for my room and I want them to look amazing, but functional. Any input would be appreciated!

Hi Melissa! I just had a few series in bins, but this year I am moving more of them over to be in with the other fiction books alphabetically! I’m planning on using the book bins more for my informational books! That’s so excited that you have new shelves for your room this year! I bet they are going to look great!

Love your room!! Where did you get your bright paper for your bulletin boards? Or is it fabric?

Thanks so much, Codee! It is all Fadeless paper from Lakeshore, but they sell it on Amazon this year! I’m using fabric for my boards this year, which has tons of bright color options too! I love both!

Where are you buying your bright fabric?

I got most of it from Joann Fabrics!!

Amazing room! Bet the kiddos love it! Curious about your “turner inner” mentioned in the Schilastic article. Can you share more info, please?

*Scholastic

Where did you get your white shelf that’s behind your u shape table that has your phone on top of it?

And your cute silver buckets on your teal cart!

LOVE!!!! Where did you get your caddies for the student desk! Mine have most definitely seen their better days!

Hi! I absolutely adore this classroom! So many great ideas!

Can you share where you found the calendar behind your teacher desk? I love those colors!

I am so happy that I found your blog through Pinterest! Your classroom library is STUNNING! That will definitely be my favorite part of my classroom one day too I’m sure 🙂

xoxo, Juliana Grace | http://www.julianagraceblogspace.com

Your classroom is such an inspiration on how I would like my classroom to look one day! I love how you focus on incorporating ways of collaboration, creativity, and communication just within your classroom. I am such a fan of working in small groups so the whiteboard desk is such a great tool to have! I also like how organized your classroom library is. There are so many options and I feel like students enjoy reading in your class because of it. I think students also enjoy having the Reading Graffiti wall that pulls meaningful quotes from the book for others to view and read.

Where did you get your white board table and which shape did you go with???? Your classroom is just FUN!!!!!

Is your whole wall cork? I have no bulletin boards and I am so jealous you can have so much on your walls.

Hi! Beautiful classroom- are your bulletin boards that big or did you stick the fabric to the walls?! If you stuck them, what did you find held them up the best? I always have a hard time once I hang things!

Love your classroom-thanks for sharing! I’m wondering where you got the colorful map of the United States??

Thank you so much! I made it! You can find the tutorial with lots of pictures here: https://lessonswithlaughter.com///colorful-united-states-map-tutorial/

Oh.My.GOSH! I love it! I have been looking EVERYWHERE on instagram and pinterest to find upper elementary decorated classrooms… I’m like really?!?!? Are they all glum and bare?! Yours is perfect! I love the students’ pictures on the wall! That’s my favorite.

LOVE this!!! I’m returning to the classroom and I love the Accountable Talk area? Possible to see more photos of it?

Hello. I love your Math time board with space to post groups. Is that available on TPT?

It’s from Ladybugs Teacher Files on TPT!

I’m moving to 5th from 1st next year and I’m nervous! I’ve never taught upper grade before! Looking at your blog I’m completely inspired and excited about what next year will hold for me!

Hi there! I absolutely love your classroom! I am a first year fifth grade teacher this fall and trying to get as many ideas I can for setting up my classroom and yours as given me so much inspiration! I wanted to ask where did you purchase the #READ letters at?

They are from Target but a few years ago!

I love all of your classroom decor. Where did you find the light up hashtag symbol and letters?

They are from Target, but a few years ago! I haven’t seen them there recently!

Where did you get the book bins on your bookshelves?

I love all of these ideas! Can you share some information about the whiteboard table you have for small groups now? I’m looking to ditch the bulky kidney table for something more modern that takes up less space.

My school bought the whiteboard table! I’m not sure where it’s from, but I would highly recommend a whiteboard table! My students love it!

Where did you get the map poster? I’ve been trying to find something that size.

Hi Molly, I love your classroom! I am so happy I found it on Pinterest! I wanted to ask you about your silhouette for your letters on the bulletin board. Where did you find the silhouette? I’ve been trying to find the font and I can’t. 🙁

Do you have the calendar squares for your calendar in your store? I could not find them, but love them!

Thank you!! My calendar is from Kristen @ladybugsteacherfiles! She has it in her store here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Events-Calendar-Set-for-the-Upper-Grades-3253245

Your classroom is amazing! I was wondering if you could explain the watercolor hand project that is on your wall. I love to include decor created by the students

Hi! This is my DREAM classroom! I love it! Do you happen to know what size your bookshelves are or have a link for them?

Hi Kylea! Thank you so much!!!! My bookshelves are the Billy bookshelves from IKEA! I love them!

Your room is such an inspiration! I’m wondering about the spaces on your walls…do you really have that many bulletin boards? If not, what did you use on the wall to make it look like a board?

Hi there, just found your blog. I’m interested in those silver brad things you used on the writing wall. Where do you get those and what are they called? I can’t figure out how to find them!

Learning in Wonderland Classroom Tour

Welcome to our class!

I’ve changed some parts of my classroom this year and I have to say that I’m loving how everything turned out. Please note that this is my 12th year of teaching and I did not create this environment overnight. It’s taken years to accumulate and/or create everything that is in this classroom. I am including links to all of the resources that are in this post. Some resources are from my shop and some are from other teachers on TpT. I am also including the links for the furniture I picked up from Ikea, as well as some Amazon affiliate links for your convenience. If you choose to use my Amazon affiliate links, the price is the same however I receive a small commission for referring you.

Now on with the tour!

When you walk into my classroom, you’ll see my desk area right away. I connected my desk and small group table to save space and it works really well for us.

I love this quote along the top of my classroom. It is a constant reminder to be kind to one another. I made the flowers using some patterns I found on Etsy.

I have a window sill right by my desk that I like to use for storage. My progress monitoring bin is right there so that I can access it quickly when it’s time to test my kids. Having my teacher toolbox right there is so handy too!

• Progress Monitoring
• Primarily Speaking Brag Tags

The class library is one of our favorite spaces! The bins and books are labeled according to their bin which helps my kids put their books away in the correct place. If you would like to get more info about how I organize our books, please read the post link below that is loaded with info.

• Library Labeling Kit
• Library Blog Post
• StikkiClips

Next to the library, we have our new futon. I found this one at Ikea. It is comfortable but tough enough for daily classroom use. I custom made the pillows using an online service. If you would like to create the same pillows, the link is below.

Smart Board, Bulletin Boards, and Storage

Do you see that bench in the middle? I purchased it a few years ago when I was in a different classroom and I could not make it work in this room. I moved it all over and it just wasn’t fitting right. I was about to give it away when I decided to give it one last try in between these shelves. I am so happy I tried that. It fit like a glove and finished off this whole area! My kids love to read on it. In fact, many of them read on it on meet the teacher night!

• Second Grade Wonders Inserts
• Schedule Cards
• Objectives Bulletin Board Kit
• Debbie’s CCSS Posters
• Ikea Shelf (Bench) 
• Trofast Side shelves
• Paper Trays
• White Storage Labels
• Lightbox Inserts
• Cushion Tutorial

Our rules are to the very left. We refer to them often so this placement by the carpet works perfectly for us.

• Classroom Rules
• Grammar Wall

On the other side of the whiteboard you’ll see this area:

• Centers Rotation Board
• Shower Caddy Post
• Clear Shelves

Storage Containers

Zooming up above our door is our fairy door! My kids LOVE the desk fairy. She leaves notes and treats occasionally when she spots clean desks. Part of the fun of the desk fairy door is that it is super realistic. It took me a while to find a door that looked so real. I put it above the door so that it couldn’t be touched.

Teacher tuesday: classroom tour.

7 comments :

I always love seeing your classroom. It's obvious how much you love your job and how much your students love you! I know you're making a huge difference in their lives and they'll never forget the time they spent in your class. I wish I'd had a math teacher like you- I would have been so much better at it than I was! I hope you all have the BEST school year to date!

This is ALWAYS my favorite post of the year from you! It just gives me all the happy feels.

You room might even force me to enjoy Math!! Also, I wish I had kept my trolls!

I have always loved math, but never had a teacher with a room like yours. It is so inviting and I know all of your students look forward to coming to your room everyday. It is awesome and I love seeing this post every year!!

I love love love seeing your classroom. You can really see your heart in this classroom. My girlie starts kinder next year and this post made me excited for her to experience the love of teachers who put their heart and soul into their job and the kiddos!

I love these posts!! Thanks for sharing -- miss this part of the school year as a teacher so much. Have a great year!!

Your room is so beautiful. I love that it seems comfortable like home.

Classroom Tour 2022

This is the second year I have been in this room so it is very similar to last year's tour. A key change I made though was painting the green bricks and a lot of the brown paneling. Click here to see last years tour. 

Let's start with the student entry. I have our  Class Rules  above the door. We came up with these together on the first day of school (and they just happen to be the same as the rules I use every year hehe). Under that, I have the  Colour Pencil Display .

This is the wall to the right. 

There is a built in desk in the room which I use as a place to put sheets and items during the day. I store all my stationery, stamps etc on the shelf about but I don't sit ever sit and work at this desk. The letters above the desk I got from TYPO and decorated with washi tape. The 'A' at the start I made as a class project out of paper mache a few years ago.

This display board has our current reward system- our jelly bean jar! Students are working towards whole class goals.  They have an individual chart and when they fill up a row, they get to put a jelly bean up. When they fill up their whole chart they also get an individual reward. 

Through this door is a small store room. I love having a sink in my classroom!  All drawers have my  Rainbow Labels  which are a freebie in my store!

Next to the door is my  Birthday Balloon Display  and above that is my Write Any Numbers Display. 

The back wall features a large pin up board that I have covered in purple table cloth material (cheaper and lighter than using fabric and longer lasting than paper). We are slowly filling it up with student work.  At the top, you can see my  subject banners .

This is a close up of my  Writing Goals Chart  (another freebie on my site). I add student names on little cards to show which goal they are working on. 

Flipping around again, you can see the back entryway to my classroom that goes through to our prep area and another classroom in the left side of this image. The double doors in this picture go through to another classroom. Not a great place to have a door to their room (they also have an external door), but I am glad we were able to convince our last principal to build a wall between the classrooms. Prior to these walls it was open with moveable bulletin boards being used to divide the rooms. 

I have The Secret Stories which is an amazing approach to teaching students phonics. It was developed in America, but works well with any phonics program your school runs. Basically, each sound has a story to go with it that makes it fun and easy for students to remember the sounds.  

I also have our class library on one side. 

Following around from that, we have my group work table and mat area.

I use the u-shape table for working with small groups and one-on-one. It's also where I spend my prep time but I like to keep it empty to maintain function.

My mat area has a moveable whiteboard and sit spots to mark out where students are able to sit. It can be hard to make this area work right due to the location of the T.V. so I often change this up during the year.

That brings up back around to the student entrance.

To the right of the entrance is a small off shoot area. I use this for storing my resources for maths, English etc. I also have the traditional teacher desk back here that I don't use. 

My standing desk is also located back here and is currently being used to store our home readers.   

On the students' desks, you will notice their name tags are a range of colours. This is because students pick the colour for their name tag on the first day of school, and they then add their own name and decorate. This helps to make them feel like they belong in our room. 

I love the change in my classroom from last year to this year. Having a few more white walls just makes the whole room feel brighter and more open. There are a few colourful pops to keep it engaging but not overwhelming.

I hope you enjoyed coming on the tour with me!

Looks like an amazing room, and noticed you got rid of the time green. :) I see you are using decodable readers Amy, do you read individually or in a round robin fashion? Are you using a combo of decodable and levelled readers? Also do the science of reading theories mean you make adjustments to your reading group activities.

We love and appreciate the relationship with Nations Classroom. Thanks for always going the extra distance to make our trip fun, educational and memorable for our students, parents, and staff. You put a huge smile on the faces of so many people…including mine. Looking forward to working with “ya’ll” next year.

Elementary School Tour Leader, KY

Washington, D.C. and Monticello

We did it! Thank you so much for the amazing effort to provide us with such a great experience. My kids really needed this and you guys really came through. I don’t know of any other company that could have thought so creatively to provide such a great experience while keeping everyone safe.

High School Tour Leader, NE

Washington, D.C. and Gettysburg

As one of your very first schools, over ten years later it so terrific to see the business you have built while not losing sight of the little things you did to make it special when you were just getting started. I can’t believe that the owner still finds time to visit us and just see how we are doing every year. It is more than a business – we are part of a family.

Middle School Tour Leader, CA

Washington, D.C. and Colonial Virginia

8 Buses and nearly 400 people is no simple task. But, every year the Nations team comes through for us with great personal service and attention to detail.

Middle School Tour Leader, MI

Washington, D.C. and Flight 93 Memorial

I have planned trips with just about every student tour company there is. Hands down Nations is the best. Their staff really cares about doing things right for my parents and kids. Every part of the process from promotion, planning, and touring is exceptionally well done. Nations just get’s it.
