So, after spending a couple of days in my room over the summer, I didn't think I had much left to do to get it ready for the start of school. I was gravely mistaken. I spent several hours on it yesterday afternoon getting it ready for our Stash Your Stuff this evening. I think it turned out nicely, though. Let me give you a quick tour.

This is a picture of my room from the door. The back wall is my Word Wall.

This is where I keep all my student resource materials. Also, students turn their work into the tray that corresponds to their class period. I use the colored magazine holders to keep their uncompleted or missing assignments. I usually write their names on a sticky note so they can quickly check to see if they are missing anything. The white tubes is where they turn in their Writer's Notebooks and Handwriting Notebooks for review/grading.
I have my students sign in every day. The sign-in sheets kept on the clipboards. I've colored coded each class period, so they grab the clipboard for their class. I have other resources for them to use in their writing and paper for their daily warm-ups.
The files on the wall are used for their drafts. This keeps them from losing them before publishing.
I display their work on the bulletin board. I have enough places for 5 per class. I also have an Author's Chair in the left corner that's not shown.
This is my reading and seat work corner. |

Finally, my giant Word Wall. I used black felt for the background. When I add words, I laminate them and add velcro to the back. This makes it easy to add, move, or remove the words. They are also color coded (my sensory detail words are pink). |
So, my room is ready to receive students and their parents. Yea!
