I found several pins with a variety of questions lớn pose for my class on the 1st day of school. I chose six that I felt were appropriate for my group of kids & LOVED it! There was a lot of information khổng lồ gather from my students apart from their answers - I looked at spelling, engagement, & how they followed directions. Very informative.
I went over each poster (in Spanish as well -- one of my students doesn"t speak English! -- thank goodness for iTranslate!) and passed out dots and sticky notes to everyone. The were able to address each poster on their own và I wandered around lớn help individuals. Great activity!

I"ve been back to school for two days now (paid-days, of course) & find myself more exhausted than any day spent at school all summer!! I think it is mostly áp lực - knowing school is beginning just around the corner - that keeps me running on what feels like empty. I have been working on my new "Michelle-styled" lesson plan book, preparing writing materials, organizing my start-up order, & organizing the staff book room. So much to do!!

I have been using Daily 5 and cafe for a couple of years now and have changed my boards every single year. This year, thanks to Pinterest and the LadybugTeacherFiles, my boards look FANTASTIC! I am so excited to lớn begin filling them in with strategy cards. I even have teeny-tiny clothespins with student names on them to video clip onto their strategy card. I can"t wait!
I used a 6+Traits bulletin board last year but was unhappy with how it looked. I love the Voices board and I even had room to lớn squeeze in a Boggle board as well.

I finally finished my classroom libraries - with the help of friends, of course - và have been working on centers & bulletin boards.Here is a photo of my fiction library. Each box is sorted by author, genre, or theme & is labeled with a sign and a numbered dot. Every book in the box is labeled with a coordinating numbered dot. Books are easy khổng lồ find và easy to return!
Here is a picture of my nonfiction library nook.

I moved classrooms within my building in only a few hours at the over of the school year. I am in the process of unpacking the unorganized boxes shoved into every nook & cranny in my new space. It is both frustrating và fun all at the same time! Luckily I wasn"t the only "mover" this year, so there is plenty of company for me at school this summer! Here are some photos of the progress I"ve made this summer!!Here"s what I started with - can you believe that!!
This is how I started organizing my classroom library - luckily the custodian had pushed all my furniture out of the way so I could spread out all over the floor! I stacked by genre, subject, author, and theme.
And this is the start of my fiction library in my classroom. It is organized by author, series, genre, theme, và subject. All my books I have collected over the past 7 years (holy cow, that went fast) from thrift stores, Powell"s (my second favorite place on the planet), my school principal, and Donors Choose. I have organized them in boxes I purchased from the Dollar Tree, larger boxes granted through Donors Choose, & the large wooden boxes made by the local high school cửa hàng a million years ago. My classroom library is the center of of my classroom -- it gets organized & set up first!!
