![]() My full day classroom is open from 7 am – 6 pm. One of my favorite summer projects was my new visual schedule! It looks like a long day because it is. You can read all about it HERE and check out Green & Red Choices HERE in my store. There are teachers from Preschool all the way to Second grade who use it and LOVE it! Negative behaviors decreased which meant I had more time to teach and play with my students! It is the number one seller in my store and has been for a few years now. It is hands down the best thing I have ever made and implemented in the classroom. It works wonders! Simple and visual for my young learners. GAME CHANGER! For behavior, I use a red and green choice board. Our class rules have been updated with a new clip art and a new font! Find out how I teach our classroom rules HERE and check Class Rules out in my store HERE. My teacher supplies are on top of the crate and in my bright yellow bucket! They are close to me so I can grab them when I need them but still hidden from my students. I needed a place for lesson plans and teacher supplies so I placed crates under my easel! In it are our lesson plan boxes! It is right there in case I need it for reference. Check out how and WHY I do a linear calendar HERE. Linear Calendar…AMAZING! It will change the calendar time into a time where students are engaged and talking about math! I LOVE calendar time. You can simply say, “everyone stand on the rainbow” and they move there! It’s amazing! Warning…it does leave a nasty mark when you take it off! Have you ever noticed that is is super hard for kids to make a real circle when you need them too for an activity or class meeting? I have a solution to the problem…make a rainbow tape square around the edge of the grid. My circle area received some fun updates and changes! I moved my gross motor shelf which was where the green bulletin board is because It was a distraction for some kids last year who sat next to it. It’s the perfect way to start the day. You can read more about how I do question of the day HERE and check out my Question of the Day packs in my store HERE.ĭon’t you love how fun the super stars look! Oh and our mascot is a super star. GAME CHANGER! Seriously, Question of the Day is AMAZING! It gets students learning the minute they walk in the door. They put their lunch in the fridge and answer the question all in the same place!Īnd I finally have the editable rainbow name plates in my store. This makes remembering the morning routine super easy. When students come in each morning, they pull their star off and answer the question of the day. The stars are attached with Velcro and have a magnet on the back. I made new colored stars for each student this year to use for the Question of the Day. Go check out Portfolios and Assessments made Easy in my TPT store HERE. You can read all about how I do portfolios and assessments with my preschoolers HERE. On top of the cubbies are the students’ portfolios in binders and the portfolio crate. I’m going to add clothespins to each square to make the changing of boards even easier! These little people are from my All About Me pack. I added the square scrapbook paper to it so I can easily put up and take down students’ work. ![]() I have a lab classroom in a high school.Ībove the cubbies are two big bulletin boards. Behind the windows are my office and the child development observation window. I have a long room with a L shaped space on the left. I’m hoping I can find time to reveal my new classroom to you soon! We transformed/finished, our walk out basement into a preschool. ****This was my FULL DAY classroom! I taught multi age preschool in this amazing classroom for 11 years! I now teach half day preschool out of my home. It is always a work in progress! I am always adding new activities, taking out the old, putting up new student work, taking down the old, and organizing. WHOOO! The BIG classroom reveal! I made some new additions to my rainbow classroom this year and kept all my fun makeover items from last year too! When I was taking the pictures for this post I thought of a few more things I want to update.
