A Look at the New Space

A few weeks ago, my administrators surprised me by giving me my "own" room for 1 class period and 1 planning period during the day.  The rest of the day I was occupying someone else's classroom to teach my own class or co-teaching in the LA/SS room.

There have been 3 rounds of student changes since I last posted!  More students with Special Ed needs have entered our co-teach class (more on that later), there's a huge shift with English Language Learners about to happen and my Special Ed math class had risen to a roster of 23. That's too many students!!  So, we split up the math class. I now have 13 students and we're in MY room!  So, now I'm in one spot all day except for the 2 periods of co-teach which feels just right!  

Here's a look at the room (photos taken before the math switch happened, so it's mostly Language Arts.

I had the idea to feature different authors over the summer, during my "pinning and dreaming" phase.
Glad I got to put it into effect!

My books were stored in boxes, just waiting for a room of their (my) own!

Student-written expectations, a graduation cap & my Arches poster.

Bob watches over us.  (This is what happens when you move into the former science lab / storage room.)
