August 27

Hello everyone! I survived the first full week of school.  As you would expect I don't have any artwork to post this week. So instead, I thought I would upload some pictures of my classroom.

Students earn paint points for good behavior. When they fill their palette they get a party. 

As we learn new concepts and vocabulary I add them to the board. 

On my tables I have name plates that are made from the corner pieces you put on palettes to protect them from damage.  Then I painted them with chalk board paint. At each table there is a bucket with chalk and pieces of fabric for erasing. 

My sliding dry erase board I LOVE THEM!!!! I have one for each class and then 3rd &4th share a board. 

On the first day of school I teach my students to "Show me the Mona Lisa." Students sit up straight hands in their laps mouth closed and eyes on the teacher.

Outside my room I write a quote of the week. 

My door is decorated with tons of dots from old dot projects.
