Whew! What a Monday it was! After observing Sheila Friday, I could. not. wait. until I could get back in my room and try out some of her strategies!!! First things first, though, I needed to move a bunch of stuff around to accommodate new work stations, with more space for the kiddos, a better storage system for all my materials, a clearer way to show how students should rotate through their work stations, and (hopefully) less clutter!
I realized that I was taking up way too much space, leaving the students with too little. Also, since I NEVER sit at my desk, and usually can't even get to it, I moved it and turned it into a writing station, complete with special pens, papers, writing tools, and more - all right there in a writing desk! That nice, clean kidney table you see above has never, since the photo, been visible again, because I lie every single thing on it all day long, but I need it to do my small group lessons, so I made a tablecloth to store a few things under, moved the long bookshelf to use behind it, kind of like a credenza for my materials, and scooted the file cabinet into the corner. I also switched two tables, giving the kiddos more width in the room, and making a much more functional math station at the same time. Then I got started moving kids around, re-doing leveled reading baskets, based on new winter scores, making new math groups, with differentiated work at the station, and adding a science station.

Cute, before... |
|
Functional, after! |
|
Leveled baskets and fewer options make choices easier for young readers, after! |
|
Too overwhelming for students before... |
|
Cozy, but little content before... |
|
Manipulative storage under work-space with directions for use, after! |
|
Repurposed "teacher desk" as writing station with room for special pens, scissors, and paper, plus the chalkboard for specific assignments, after! |
|
There's even room for more leveled reader storage at the back of the new writing station/old teacher desk! |
Of course, I needed new tags for all my baskets, a new display for group rotations, and a few extras thrown in:
|
New Table Rotation Cards |
|
New Station Cards from
Amanda Nickerson |
|
New Reading Basket
Labels for New
Reading Groups |
A few new anchor charts made the Monday Made It list, too! Busy, busy, busy...
Pretty good for a Monday, although I'm still "Makin' it" on Wednesday...still working on implementation, Sheila, but you are inspirational!
Here's a Wednesday Re-Made It (an oops I found and corrected), too!
