3 Favorite Areas of My Classroom


Latoya has another Let's Get Acquainted party happening today!  This week's topic is the three favorite places in your classroom!

Favorite Place #1



Of course, since I am a reading teacher, all of my books would HAVE to be one of my favorite places!!  LOVE MY BOOKS!  My kids do too.  The first two pictures are baskets of books for the kids.  

This shelf holds some of the books that I pull from to do lessons from.  These are sets of books.

Favorite Place #2


We love, love our tables where we work.  My tables are wipe-off tables.  Cuts down on a lot of paper!  And is very motivating for the kids.  They love the idea of being able to write on a table!

Favorite Place #3




My third favorite place is my penguin rug and the two rocker chairs beside the rug.  Kids want to be able to sit in those chairs!!  And who doesn't love stretching out on a nice rug with a good book to just enjoy reading?

Go link up now and show us your favorite places!!

  2. I love all your book baskets. Do you teach with those books or are they for students to pick from? Your table is too COOL!!!

  10. I love your tables! I have them write on our tables too but they are regular classroom tables and it doesn't always clean up the greatest. Your blue chairs are very inviting! =)

  12. Bridget, the book baskets that are in the first two pictures are for the students to read and to check out. The other picture with the red baskets are sets of books that I use to teach group reading.

  19. Thanks Jennifer! I have all my books labeled which helps with the organization. It probably helps that each group is only in my room for about 30 minutes. :)
