Where It All Goes Down...A Little Classroom Tour

Summer is over. I think I'm okay with that. Still deciding. I happen to like school lots. So this is where I'm going to be spending the majority of my life for the next 9 months. I'm not really a theme girl. I'm too indecisive. I get sick of it, and I change it which takes lots of time and keeps me from getting other things done. However, I love the movie Up! though, so I thought I could use that as a theme. Still...it's pretty subtle. This is as close to a theme as I will probably ever get.
This is my window display with the kids names. I know the movie says, "Adventure is out there!" and has balloons, but planes are so much cuter.
I just like it.
Non-Fiction Library

Literacy board- Don't worry, I add to it as the year goes on.
Science board. Hopefully this encourages me to do more of it. 2nd grade science can be pretty lame, but we'll see.
Math- again, not complete. I usually use it for vocab words and anchor charts throughout the year.
Cubby closet- Always a mess.
Chapter books.
Part of the Fiction Library
Calendar Wall- I might be the only teacher in the world who doesn't like pocket charts. I hate the way they look, but I guess they are convenient and slightly expensive, so since I already own them, I might as well use them.
Explorer of the week
Word Wall
This is a noble effort in teaching my kids to not be too loud. They have no clue what a soft voice is. Their voices are always on a 5 unless they are speaking in front of the class in which case they are on 2.

Behavior Board. I love this thing.
Where they turn in paper, get pencils, put their "caught-ya's", and get some math stuff.
Carpet area- so much easier than a big fat rug.
I just like my globe and my frog.
This window has the most beautiful view. The only problem is half the time the sun is so glaring that the kids will be blinded if the shades are open. The frames are mostly family pictures.

Their cute little people. I have 30 ADORABLE students this year. I love them!
