This is a picture of the tiles that were for sale around seven years ago at this school. These are on display in the hallway for all to see. I have decided to include this picture because I actually have a tile on it, though it is absolutely terrible. Mine is located four tiles to the right of the bottom left corner. The tile one to the left is my brothers.
I put these four pictures in a single slideshow because they go together as they are pictures of the classroom. The first picture shows one of the tables, the lego table, the centers wall, and the traditional, elementary school, rainbow rug.
The next picture shows the other tables, the kids' cubbies (under the "Reading is Fun" sign), the computers, and the extremely organized teacher section.
The third picture shows a wall of the kids' work, all of the "sight words" they have learned throughout the year, and shelf with kids water bottle's and some books.
The last picture shows the main wall that the kids look at. It has things that show the days of the week, months of the year, the calendar, the poem of the week, today's date, the equations of the day, a number chart, the time, the sticker charts, and the clip board (I will go more in depth on the sticker chart and the clip board later).

I apologize for the bad quality, but this is the picture that I took of myself on career day.
This is something that I would like to highlight in the room. Because the school year is almost over for them (they have three days left!) they get to have a fun day everyday. To figure out what they get to do they pop a balloon. All of the kids love this and are extremely excited about doing this. So far they have had movie day, stinky feet day (where they get to take off there shoes in class), bring your favorite book day and stuffed animal day.
Here is a better view of the word wall. I also had to take down all of the words on the wall and arrange them into piles, the second picture shows the wall with all of the words off of it.
Here is a picture of the clip chart. Each kid has there name on a clip and if they are misbehaving they will have to walk over to it and move there clip down. I realized that this is a very good system because it requires the kid to discipline themselves by physically moving there clip.
This is there sicker chart. When a student does something god they get to put a sticker on it. If a student gets the chart filled up they get to eat lunch with their teacher.
Here is a book that they made earlier in the year. The cover is a picture of all the kids and their teacher. Each kid has a page where they get to talk about themselves. I have included two sample pages.
Here are some examples of work that the kids are doing. The first picture is of a math page they have completed and the second if a of a language arts book that they have to color, read, and recite to two kids.
