Classroom Set Up 2017-2018 {Days 3, 4, & 5}

So I did great the first 2 days staying on top of sharing my progress pictures. Then everything just kind of blurred together. I took pictures at the start of day 3, 4, and 5, but honestly I don't think you'll notice much difference besides me just adding more and more stuff to my classroom.
I've taken in 4.5 car loads. And by car loads I'm talking packed to the brim Ford Explorer loads. It honestly hasn't been as bad as I expected. I still have some materials left behind at home-- thematic resources mostly, which I will pull out of the attic and take in to school as needed.

Since you won't probably notice too much difference in the photos across these days I decided to combine theses posts together. I actually like how you can see the side by side to see whether progress really occurred or not.

If I'm being honest, I've been confusing myself with these posts. I should probably be taking my photos at the end of the each day instead of in the morning of the next day. Day 1 should have included 2 sets of photos-- at the start and at the end. But oh well, we're here now!


Each day I try to get similiar angles/shots for each photo to help make better comparisons. You see here the only real change is the table. My afternoon group has 8 students. We were not fitting 8 at that horseshoe table.


Day 3 to 4 shows moving the sand table to set up the book area (spoiler alert, that's been moved again and now the sand table is back...) I also moved that big cubbie piece and placed a table there instead.


The middle of the room right now is pretty much just the resting place for materials as I figure out where they're going to go. I did go through all of those cabinets to the right and decided what materials I was keeping and getting rid of.


Day 3 I was rushed snapping my photos so there's no comparison shot for this one or the next one. I had to attend new employee orientation all day and then rush to school to unload the car before it rained. -- it never rained until I was leaving...


Pretty much just another catch all place for stuff until room layout is done. Then I can pull from here to organize. Mostly storing bins in the middle right now. You can never have too many bins in my book!


While you may not be able to tell exactly from these shots I feel like I have rearranged this side of the room a million times. I still wasn't happy with it so spoiler alert again-- it doesn't look like this anymore.


This photo obviously shows the most progress, but don't let those bins fool you. Most of them are empty and none of those books are organized. I've also since filled the floor of the closet up again with more manipulatives that need putting away.

Friday afternoon I  got my small climber piece added to my classroom. I was not happy with my layout. I don't think I had been all week, but I didn't know what else to do. I finally realized I NEEDED a different shelf. I found a shelf in the building and got permission to have it moved to my room. This led to me completely re-arranging my room from what you see in these photos. I *think* I'm finally happy with what I came up with. We will see. We have to put children in there to truly test it out.

I'm hoping to start focusing more on unpacking, cleaning and organizing from this point forward. Fingers crossed no more room re-arrangements!

Being a participant of an online board, it is rather convenient to discuss some aspects or confusing points of the tasks given by professors. If students encounter any difficulties with the assignments which they have to present on the class discussion forum, they may hire a discussion board post writer https://300writers.com/hire-discussion-board-post-writer.html.
