My Classroom!

I successfully finished my first week at my first salaried job! It was just a teacher prep week with lots of meetings, etc.
I'm working at Mt. Loafer Elementary in Salem, Utah.We are the grizzlies, and soon I will be sporting a school shirt :)

Here are some pictures of what I have done with my completely empty and boring room so far...

My Desk


My bookshelf (pretty empty because I have some amazing cupboards all along one wall)

All my regular ed speech kids' names are up on apples so far- I'm going to add my preschool kids now that I have the list of them. This board will change with seasons/holidays. 




This is my reward system for speech. Its basically a game, and every time they come to speech they earn one space. If they bring back their homework they get another space, and if they work hard the get a space too. So potentially they can have 3 spaces each time, and every 6 spaces is either a game or a prize space. The final space is a "big game" and that's where we just play the whole session. This is by far my favorite reward system I've tried throughout the past couple years. I chose a monster theme, this theme might change every once in awhile too, there are just too many cute school supplies! I still need to make the magnet pawns (something like this- I can't decide what pictures I want to put on them).

I'll update these pictures as I get more moved in and finalized. :) But I thought maybe you'd like to see them!

So I am blog-stalking you today. It's just great to see what you've been up to... I should do the same(let people know what I've been up to) Your school room looks great, and yes, there are way too many cute school room decorations. I haven't started actual teaching, but I do have 2 students who I teach English to in the afternoons. They pay very well, but I am a good teacher too, as proven by the 10 out of 10 my student got last year in his English class. Good luck with your job!
