So I can remember where to put it all. Yet again this summer, my room is being worked on! My building is very old(My mother went to school there LOL) and one of my walls is getting replastered (thank you the white stuff on everything was getting bad) So everything is currently sitting in my garage ....This is only my second year in this room, it has been the home ec room, special ed room (when I started it was converted to this and I was assigned to the room) then it was a speech room...Last year (09/10) it was a tight fit as they still had the lower cabinets in ..they got taken out last summer and slowly I am decorating it.....
For a back history, in March 2010, I went to IL Reading Convention and one of the sessions talked about Reading dogs. Well they mention they sell life sized stuffed animals for just this purpose....Last Summer, I started my search for a "mascot" for my room and came across these
Storytime Dogs and I was hooked. I have a Black lab at home so the I ordered one....
Meet Labby
Here is the rest of my room
Saw this in someone else's lab and had to have it, they lost the
first one, so I ended up paying $50 for it:) Kids LOVE it!
I didn't know until I uploaded this, but the letters on the board
are from when I did the scrabble tile lesson :) Love the
poster above, had it made for coworker and I ....
Stay out of the doghouse by following the rules
you will start to see the posters from Discover Intensive Phonics
(shown here below board) the teachers do the lessons in class then
they bring students down for the computer time on it. Great Program!
Why yes that is a washer and Dryer in my room (no
where else to put it)
Ignore the very messy desk! Yes those are mop heads
in chair...it was a rare day, they usually do them before and after school.
A close up of the curtain fabric (thanks to facebook, friends found it for me
then my aunt picked it up for me :) Note the Dog ate my homework :)
See those blue bins, those are all the Reading A to Z books
We use them for Summer Reading and Take Home books.
The copier is right outside my door, so it is easier just to leave them .
There you have it. Now you see the cabinets and shelving (by washer and Dryer) that is my storage for the room. Please feel free to pretend this was your room what would you do? The wall with the paneling is the one that is going to be done this summer, so if all goes well I will still have my cabinets, and more wall space.
Any and all ideas for decorations, organization would be much appreciated! Thanks
