I still have some things that have to be laminated and hung up. The laminater wasn't working and I couldn't finish what I needed to do! I'll post pictures next week. I will probably do before(the students) and after(the students) photos! Everyone keeps commenting on how organized the room looks! Not for long! :)Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048815019851329383.post-45061826671207459382012-09-02T12:19:03.927-07:002012-09-02T12:19:03.927-07:00Thanks for sharing your classroom photos- I love s...Thanks for sharing your classroom photos- I love seeing what other teachers' rooms look like and am always impressed (and jealous ;) by the wide variety of organizational ideas out there. I particularly like your "Mona Lisa" poster- a nice change from the typical "Give me 5".Misshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505411826646402867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048815019851329383.post-81044732590050960552012-08-22T19:27:50.757-07:002012-08-22T19:27:50.757-07:00No windows?!

Some of them complain it's freezing! Those are the ones who dress like it's July in Jan. I definitely need to have air flow when they come in from recess! Pre-teens get really smelly sometimes!! :0Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048815019851329383.post-63119071756897960752012-08-22T19:22:54.181-07:002012-08-22T19:22:54.181-07:00Thanks!

When it's art time the kids are oblivious that the other half is music. The music chairs get stacked up for art and I use the floor space on the music teacher's side a lot for large collaborative projects that the kids work on in small groups.I have the kids sit on the floor in front of the smart board when I use it because it's in a weird spot and they can't really see it from their seats on the art side. This is only the second year we are in this room. It is the original art room from when the school was built. It had been a second grade classroom for years. At my other school I have 6 tables and I will still have at least 5 students at each table. Sometimes I only use 5 tables there. When they have music they use the same tables and chairs. The music teacher and I alternate days and never cross paths except for 1 hour on Fridays. We average pretty big classes. I have on average 25 students in a class. This years 1st grade is small though and my average is 17. I am going to feel like half the class is missing when I have them! I have 6 classes of K,1,3,and 5. I have 7 classes of 2 and 4.

I should take a progression of photos of it through out the year to try and compete with yours! Also, I can appreciate wishing for curtains. I felt that way in my last class room- but now I'm in a room with no windows at all! =0(Painting With Brainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173690702611747238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048815019851329383.post-68138015911013430792012-08-22T18:26:20.735-07:002012-08-22T18:26:20.735-07:00My sign on my cutting board is pretty ragged looki...My sign on my cutting board is pretty ragged looking too. :) Loved seeing your room!J.hamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462557362994500244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048815019851329383.post-4719448853936971292012-08-22T16:35:36.125-07:002012-08-22T16:35:36.125-07:00I'll be interested to see how the duct tape wo...I'll be interested to see how the duct tape works on the tables! I bought a similar tie-dyed duct tape to make a makeshift bulletin board in the hallway for my Artist of the Week display.<br /><br />I LOVE the Mona Lisa cue! I found it too on Pinterest and will be using it this year too! I love the VanGogh one too about ears being important!<br /><br />I'm curious since you said you have four tables, about how many students in a class do you have? Space must be tight for you if you have more than 16 students!<br /><br />Does the fact that the music and art teacher share a room ever distract the kids? I mean in terms of having art stuff displayed in a room where music is being taught?Mrs. Impeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022104364845020710noreply@blogger.com
