Back to School

I can't believe it's already here! The 2012-2013 school year begins this Wednesday, August 15th!  I have been busy setting up the classroom and making last minute preparations for the first week of school.  Here is a virtual tour of our classroom and some of the things that will be happening this year!
         
This is our Birthday Board. It will be completed the first day when we are able to take our pictures holding the dates.

This is the Morning Meeting/Calendar Area.  Each morning we will take attendance, do calendar, and do some math problems to get us thinking.  This is also the area where the daily jobs will be posted.

Our lockers are located in the back of the room.  We also have a writing/conference table.  Along the back wall you will find reference posters for math, reading, and writing.

Boggle is a great game to help learn our spelling words or review previous ones.

Part of our classroom library! We have all types of genres to pick from and will be adding more throughout the school year!

With these clocks students will never have to ask when specials are! 
Everyday when the students arrive, they will place their name by the lunch they will be eating.

I hope you enjoyed touring our classroom.  Be sure to check back throughout the school year for more updates on life in the fourth grade!
