Classroom Reveal

Teacher Organization Day is Monday and all the little darlings will start filling the hallways that evening for back to school night.  School starts Tuesday!  Excited!  Anxious!  Nervous!  Butterflies in the belly!  Why does this happen every year, even after teaching for quite some time now?!?!?  I don't think it will ever go away.  You want to be great!  You want the kids to love you, but you also want to set the stage in a way they will learn routine and develop respect for you.  Such a critical time.

My absolute favorite part of back to school is getting my room ready and organized.  I have worked hard on my classroom transformation.  Put TONS of time into getting everything just where I want it and loving my new look.  I want to share some of my new decor and classroom ideas.  I have tried to provide links to the different products around the room.  Here goes....

Alphabet is by Erica Bohrer and the comprehension strategies & skills posters are by A Cupcake for the Teacher.









Classroom library organization is inspired by Beth Newingham







2nd Grade Common Core Essential Questions, CAFE, & Daily 5 materials can be found at my TpT store by clicking here.


I get many products from Amy Lemons.  You will see many of her materials in my classroom.  She is my go to girl for 2nd Grade.  LOVE her!

Math Lab labels and recording sheets can be found at my store by clicking here.

Writing wall materials are A Cupcake for the Teacher and Lori Rosenberg.



Polka dot table numbers and the behavior chart can be found at my TpT store by clicking here.  The table numbers are also available in CHEVRON!



I know I will be praying for an amazing year for my students, their parents, all teachers out there and my sanity!  Ha ha!  Enjoy your back to school events and God bless!

    1. I actually made that table. It used to be an ugly, old coffee table. I had a garage sale with my sister and she had it for sale. I had a vision. I painted it aqua blue and painted the top with chalkboard paint. I love it!!!! It was so easy to make. If you can find an old table, you are set!!!!

  20. Your room is AMAZING! So inspiring! It's tough to figure out organizational and seating ideas with 32 kids in a small classroom....but I love everything about your room!

  21. You have a very attractive room. Only if my classroom was as big as this. However, you have inspired me to do the little I can with what I have around me here in the Caribbean. I just adore your classroom organization!!!
