I am quite excited for the beginning of the school year! There isn't any project work hanging from the ceiling so it looks bare to me!! :) Hope you enjoy!

Please excuse the fact that some of the signs are not "straight." This is my center choice board. The kids have name tags that hang on the hooks.

I am super proud of my new chair pockets! My sweet mother made them! They are all blue canvas but they have different color polka-dot ribbon for each table!

ReplyDeletePlease tell me how you made your chair pockets!!!! I have been desperately searching for a template online and can't find one. If you wouldn't mind emailing it to me, I would be FOREVER grateful!!!! Thanks! {Also, your room looks amazing!}

Hi! Your room looks great! What did you use to put the names on the tables? It looks like stickers....do they come off easily? I love the look of it and would like to do it in my classroom! Thanks!

Your room looks amazing! War Eagle! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much ladies!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAbby--my mom just went through trial and error to make them. She didn't have a pattern. :(
Jacy--I just use a big sharpie to write their names on the table. I've tried just about everything and the cutsie name tags that you can get, just don't stay on or look good after a few days. And you can't just use any permanent marker, it will wash off after you clean...get a giant sharpie! :)
what do you use to change the names year after year if it's in Sharpie?
DeleteSharpies may say permanent, but with time and repeated washing the table, it will wear off. If all else fails, use an eraser. I do that on my pill bottle caps all the time.
DeleteDry erase marker also removes permanent marker. Just color over top and erase! :)
DeleteMr. Clean Magic Erasers take permanent marker off too.
DeleteFingernail polish remover works as well (may be harsh on varnish?)
DeleteI'm here from Abby's. I teach preschool in Opelika!
ReplyDeleteYour room is awesome! I love all of your details and your big teaching wall. Hope you have a great year!
Your room does look great.. it reminds me a little of my kindergarten room. My bookshelves are all polka dotted too and my whole room is primary colors. SO cute! You did a great job. Where do you teach if you don't mind me asking? I saw where you said you were going to do a school blog. I did one last year and really liked it. I would love to follow your school blog too!
ReplyDeleteI love your room! I too, love polka dots and it looks as if we have the same teaching chair at our rug. :) I saw where you had posted a comment on my blog and I commented back. Hope you got it!
ReplyDeleteI saw a War Eagle...do you live in Auburn? I have family that lives in Auburn.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love your classroom! I too made chairbags this school year from denim and love the fact you added the ribbon. Does the sharpie really come off good at the end of teh year?
ReplyDeleteWow, your room looks so inviting. It looks like a lot of love and work went into it!
ReplyDeleteYou room looks GREAT! Can you share where you got your dry erase word wall. I would love one for my kinder room. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking room, Meaghan! I miss AEEC!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat room and so inviting!!
ReplyDeleteI am an Auburn grad now living in South Carolina and found your blog when my co-teacher here pinned a picture of your choice board on pinterest! Small world! And War Eagle!
ReplyDeleteI love your sharpie name idea! How do you remove the name?
I too love your sharpie name idea, but before I ruin my tables I want to know how you get the sharpie off. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm an Auburn grad so yay for AEEC. I now teach kindergarten in Birmingham. I absolutely loved AEEC. You can get the sharpie off the tables with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...
ReplyDeleteI'm a Troy University grad and live in Dothan! I spent some time at the Early Education Center completing some lab hours! So glad to find you online! I teach preschool for Dothan City Schools! I have to change rooms next year and will def use some of your setup ideas!
ReplyDeleteI just love the Sharpie names on the tables! I am GOING to do this. And, I know that magic erasers get it off with a little rubbing. Thanks for the super idea!
ReplyDeleteUse an expo dry erase marker! It takes sharpie off of anything. Try it. You will be amazed!!!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't very clear. Sorry. Write on the desk with the sharpie. When you want to remove it, color over the sharpie with an Expo Dry Erase Marker and be quick to have a paper towel or old rag to wipe it off quick. As long as you're quick, the sharpie marker will come off....of anything (plastics, tables, laminated charts,) It's amazing. A really cool trick.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pictures and I LOVE LOVE your room! How precious!
ReplyDeleteBuzzing with Ms. B
I would LOVE to have a classroom that big. My classroom is super TINY! I'm thinking about getting rid of my teacher desk just to have more space.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! Your room is so clean, organized and inviting. I love it!!
ReplyDeleteCAN I ASK WHAT YOU USE FOR CALENDAR THAT WAS HANGING ON YOUR WALL?
ReplyDeleteLove your room! How did you get the curtains above your cabinets?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful classroom! Where did you get your Writing Centers alphabet letters with the pictures of various items? I would love to use these with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteWill share your ideas with teachers next fall! Thx. Karen

Could you email me a copy of the handwriting letter cards you have hanging in your writing center? mrscatherwood@gmail.com I know my team would love this!
ReplyDeleteI love this classroom! I start teaching next year and I am a HUGE fan of resourceful centers! What kind of centers do you have to choose from and what procedures do you use to determine who goes where?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the names on the tables as well. What did you use to do that? Do they stay on well all school year? What about getting them off? I also teach kindergarten and am constantly reminding students to stop picking at them.
ReplyDeleteI was curious where you got your alphabet cards & number cards hanging in your writing center? We would love a copy! Where can we get some?
ReplyDeleteI love your writing center. Can you please share where you got the letter and number cards? Here's my email: jepsonc@svusd.org
ReplyDeleteThanks
