I already posted a few pictures of my classroom here, but here they are again (a bit more organized):
I teach at a really small school in Seattle. We are grades K-6 and I think we have about 11 teachers/classrooms! I love having a small staff--you really get to know everyone! You also get to know the kids really well (some teachers have kids two-three years in a row because of splits!). My building has a pod design with four classrooms opening up to a small centrum area. We use this for small group work or testing. It's great! Also, two adjacent rooms in a pod open up into one big classroom. Our pod hasn't done this, but I know this year our 2 half-day K's are sharing one huge room. Should be interesting! The only downside to this is that we have this HUGE wall made of carpet... I have to use velcro to stick everything to the wall!
Here are a few more pictures. I should probably take more recent ones, but not that much has changed!
I'm proud of my new room and I'm excited to see my new students! Last year I didn't really get a chance to set up this room the way I wanted, so I'm feeling really refreshed!
