Throwback Thursday!

Today I am linking up with The First Grade Parade for a Throwback Thursday!

Since this is a new blog, I decided to choose something from my Student Teaching Blog last year. The post I am sharing is a post about the setup of the 3rd grade classroom I student taught in. As I prepare to get into my first classroom this fall, looking back on this post helps me a lot. I HATED the setup of the classroom, and always found myself daydreaming of ways I would change it. Obviously as a student teacher I had no say in the arrangement or decor. The classroom was very cluttered and not at all organized, and I will definitely use this as a reminder of how I want my own classroom to be.

Room 320

I finally got a chance to take a few pictures of the classroom without the students being in the room. The classroom is on the small side, but we make the best of it.

The front white board. There is a smart board being put up in the middle sometime in the next week.

23 desks for 23 lovely students :)

 Ms. M's desk.

 The students' cubbies, with their pictures on them! I thought this was so cute when I first saw it!

Computer station that needs some, um, organizing.

The way we do the lunch count. So cute!

 The back table. This is where we do one on one work, or students can sit back here if they want some space.

The job chart.

The white board in the back of the classroom. It doesn't get much use for writing on.

 Vocabulary words from Story Town. If a student finds a vocab word in something they're reading, they get to put their name on a sticky, and put the sticky next to the word.

The view from the back of the classroom. Again, not the biggest, but it works.
