Classroom reveal.... We made through the first week!

Morning all!  We made it through those first few days of school! Woot Woot!  My new sixth grade friends always feel soooo  overwhelmed the first few days.  They can't get their lockers opened, or find their classes, and as much as we do to prepare, they are always so anxious and tired by Friday.
I have such a wonderful group of friends this year.  I know that I am going to enjoy all of what they have to bring to our room.  I slowly started my Daily 5.  More on that in a day or two. I want to take some photos, and we have Open House to prepare for.

I never did a classroom reveal, so I'm linking up with Courtney at Swimming into Second Grade to share photos.  

Everyone has posted BEAUTIFUL photos of their classrooms, and I have gotten great ideas.  I hate that my walls feel bare at the beginning of the year, but I LOVE that my students are the ones that end up covering them with our anchor charts and THEIR ideas for math, reading and writing.

I downloaded the Common Core Math Vocabulary from Kate at To The Square Inch but it hasn't gotten laminated to put up yet. I plan to put the words that we are currently working with in the front near my smartboard and then transfer them to the wall above my computers as we move through our units.

I LOVE my chalkboard calendar.  The numbers are from Teri at A Cupcake for the Teacher.  I'm going to use them for my math boggle game too.  As we get going next week I will add test and quizzes to the board to help my students keep track of academics and teach them some time management.

I hope everyone enjoyed their short week of school! Come back soon to visit!
