Classroom Pictures and a Freebie!!

 Happy Tuesday!!

Hope the week has started off great for you!

I know school is starting to wind down for some of us and as teachers we are already thinking about school for next year. I know, it is crazy dedicated of us right!

So thinking of next year, I wanted to share some more pictures of my first grade classroom where I taught before I moved to 2nd grade.

Here is a picture of some of the student desks and my desk. On the shelf with the blue material I had a white board and marker baskets that were purchased from Really Good Stuff. On the whiteboard I had a crayon pocket chart which is where I posted our reading and math stations for the week. Notice my pig cookie jar on my desk, this was a gift from a student years ago and I keep goodies in it. I also had student folders with all the school year info and any forms for parents to fill out on the student desks, so when they came in for Meet the Teacher Night, parents would have all they needed on hand.

Here is another angle of the front of my room. I have a basket for daily folders that students take home daily and a pencil and scissor can. This is also used later as a big book station.

This is a picture of my calendar board, this is before I learned how to make all my pig calendar items for the board. The big pink moon chair could be used by students that were reading a book together.
 I will be sharing more pics later!

Now for a freebie! This Friday I will celebrate my birthday!!
So in honor of my birthday, I made some birthday ribbons for students to wear on their special day, while they are at school. Just copy the ribbons on to card stock so they will be nice and sturdy.  You will need to hot glue a pin and fastener to the back and PRESTO! you have a birthday button! Take the ribbon off of the student at the end of the day and save for the next birthday celebration. I always like to recognize students for their special day and I thought this would be cute.

 Just click on the picture above to get your freebie!

Speaking of birthdays!! Come back on Friday for something special that is happening for my birthday!! It's a SURPRISE!!

Hope you and your students enjoy these ribbons!
