Classroom Tour

Our classroom is located in a small "alcove" area of our living room. It is approximately 7 feet wide and 4 feet deep. I have two small girls in Kindergarten and preschool so we have lots of early child learning items.

The view from our front door and living room. The best view of the classroom as a whole

Standing inside the classroom looking out into the living room. I went and purchased lots of storage containers so that each item would have it's place. It is easy for the girls to get items for me and to put them away in their proper places. All the items on the top are available at anytime for creativity. (i.e. crayons, markers, pencils, coloring books, paper). The pink basket is our "question box," after we read a story the girls get to pick a card and answer a question about the book. The white bag is our library bag, a year ago the MVLS replaced all of their old bags used to transport requested books with newer ones and the librarians were able to take the older ones home. My local librarian felt sorry for me having to lug out all of our books (we get 30-40 at a time) and three kids so she gave me an extra one she had. Our wall of posters. (We still need a shapes and colors one) Most of these came from Target's dollar section which is full of teacher's resources right now.
The view from the living room. The only thing I don't like about this area is the lack of wall space due to the windows, but on the flip side, it nice and warm and bright. I also don't like the little table we have, it is too small for both girls to sit at together, but since Princess #1 will be headed off to public school this fall it will work for Princess #2.
