Teacher Week 15- Classroom Tour

I am so excited to link up with Bloghoppin for #teacherweek15 classroom tour! I love that this also goes with Lucky Little Learners and Schroder's Shenanagan #2getherwearebetter classroom reveal!! I have loved looking at so many AMAZING classrooms!! Here is a tour of my kindergarten room!!!

These are our hallway bulletin boards. My kiddos love the #firstday board!

This is the view from my front door:) I painted my classroom the Saturday after school got out last year. I wanted and needed a change! I love how my classroom looks with a new coat of paint! This color is so calming and I love spending my days in this room! I am  alos in love with my inspirational quotes by the Bubbly Blonde on the back wall.

This is the view from the back door. Aren't those Pete the cats precious hanging above our whole group area? I love my octagon tables!!!!

Our daily schedule

These scoop chairs from Walmart are perfect for my kinders! They love to sit in these will they work on the tablets. I have a few little friends who like to lay down and use Clifford as a pillow:)

The sensory tub has been such a wonderful center this year for my kiddos! They love it and ask everyday if they are going to that centers. I found these pillows at Walmart to cozy up this area!

Small group area as well as my teacher desk! 

These quotes hang on the cabinet behind my teacher table. I was born to be a teacher and my goal is to be a champion for each one of my kiddos past, present and future!

This small table is the mirror table. We have several centers that use mirrors. Right now we are working with mirrored letters and we will do sight words and CVC words as the year progresses.  I find the mirrors work better if they are taped to the table ha!!

Computer center

Whole Group area!! I got my carpet at Southeastern Salvage and love it! It is perfect for my classroom, not to big and not to little!

My Whole Brain teaching call back posters and my super cute lantern lights thanks to Big Lots for that find!

Our family rules and pocket chart for practice cards:) WBT style

Teacher Week 15- Five fun facts about me

I am linking up with Blog Hoppin for #teacherweek15! Each day this week we will blog about a different topic!! This will definitely help me get back into blogging on a regular basis. Since school has started back my blog has been a little neglected!

Today's post is five fun facts about me!

I have one amazing daughter!  She will be 21 on her birthday in March. I am beyond blessed to be her mother! She is a nanny for 2 precious babies as well as going to school part time. She still can't decide what she wants to be ha! She is leaning towards education though:)

I am a HUGE Alabama football fan! I can get quite crazy at games and take wins as well as losses very personal! Some of my favorite childhood memories were on piling up on the couch to watch Bama play football with my dad and brother!

I am a chevron loving kindergarten teacher.  I love teaching kindergarten so much and can not imaging myself in any other grade. I have also taught all 16 years at the same school! I love my coworkers and have made many friendships over the years! 

I believe I have a split personality ha!! I have some OCD tendancies but also am a PROCRASTINATOR!!  I work best at night and have stayed up way to late to finish a project or TPT product because I waited until the last minute to finish it. I don't understand how I can have both "qualities" at the same time. You would think my OCD self would kick my procrastinator self into shape!  Maybe my OCD makes me a procrastinator since everything has to be perfect for me haha!!

Isn't this beach house the cutest thing you have ever seen! It is calling my name!! BUY ME, BUY ME!!!

 

Who wouldn't love waking up to this view every morning?  I can almost smell the salt air, hear the waves crashing and feel the breeze when I look at this picture!

My dream/goal is to move to the beach! One day I will accomplish this!!!!

Thanks for stopping by to read about my Five fun facts! Head over to Bloghoppin to link up and join in on the fun!

Five for Friday 8/27/15

I am finishing up my third full week of Kindergarten today!! WOOOHOOO! I am really happy with where we are as a kindergarten family! Now if I could just manage to get my life outside of school back on track my life would be complete! Wishful thinking I know ha!!
I am excited to get back into the blogging world with Doodle Bug Teaching and Five for Friday!

                                                                

On Monday one of my sweet little fellas brought me this! How precious is this? It melted my teacher heart and made me even more thankful for the job I have!

                                                               

Social centers are off to a great start! I am so thankful that I am able to incorporate choice time into my day. The last 45 minutes of each day are for play! I love watching them play and listening to their conversations. I have even been invited to play as well. I love my job:)

The sensory tub center has been a favorite this week. My kinders are loving this center! I should have added it years ago ha!
