I’ve been enjoying summer a little too much lately (is that possible?) and haven’t done a whole bunch in my classroom, but I have managed to get a couple of tasks completed.
Completed: Our Word Wall
This originally was one big pink board that I was going to use for writing, but I couldn’t find a good place for the word wall. So I decided to divide this big board and use it was two things. There isn’t a whole lot of room for writing, but we can display a few things on it like an anchor chart for the weekly skill.
Completed: Instagram Door/Board
In my little independent reading area there’s a door that leads to the air conditioning unit. I originally thought I would hate this but it creates the nicest humming sound…kinda like a fan. I’m dreaming if I think the room will ever be quiet enough to actually hear the calming sound, but it’s nice while it lasts! 🙂
Anyways, back to the picture. I thought it would be nice to have an area in the classroom to display the pictures we take throughout the year, so I created an Instagram board/door. I found this perfect wrapping paper ($2.50!) at TJ Maxx. I was a little worried about the quality, but it was so easy to work with!
Completed: Spicing up my marker storage
This was the tiniest of projects, but I’ve been wanting to do this forever.
Completed: The Twitter Board
I took this picture before I added the “today’s question”. I’ll post a question (not every single day) and the class will “tweet” their answers.
Completed: Poms and Table Labeling
I couldn’t get a good shot of all the poms. Three are green and three are pink. This took FOREVER, but I feel much more organized now. 🙂
I love your marker storage! All your little touches make such a difference, your room is beautiful 🙂

Sorry About The Mess
Ive never seen a 5th Grade classroom like this! Looks awesome!
Super cute classroom! I love the Tweet Board. I just put up my FB Status Board that they each write on once a week about what we are learning. I had to be specific about that because I was getting some "I like cheese" status reports. Ooof.
I love the marker storage area … can you share how you did it for the craft-impaired person that I am …
I LOVE your Tweet board! What a great idea. I might steal that for my room if I have a place for it. Thanks for sharing right in time. I start decorating Monday! Heather
Can you tell me where you got your little baskets for your marker storage?
Can you tell me where you got the baskets that hold the markers?
