8 my classroom

Well, I'm already over half way through the school year & I'm just getting to this. Story of my life now.
Allow me to take you on a quick classroom tour.

I went with a jungle-ish theme. I made all the signs, charts and covered all the walls this summer in my "free time" mostly because buying all these things would be far too easy.

This is the word wall. Don't be tricked, we're not as wild about words as it makes us seem.
Here are the read alouds we've done so far. I have them vote on how they liked the story. As you can see, I haven't read anything above a fifth grade level since August which will be changing day 1 of summer break.
My most favorite bunch.
Writing what the words in the pledge means in hopes that they'll be more respectful to the flag.... I try people.
Our homework reward system that my brother feels is politically incorrect but since when have we cared about that?
Our job chart. P.S. This took about 8 zillion hours to make. I'm the most OCD perfectionist you'll ever meet in your life. Teaching has helped with this problem. You have no time to be perfect.
This is where the star student puts their poster. Except it usually looks jusssst like this because half the time they forget their poster. Whatevs.
I make lots of signs.
Oh, and these are the sort of things I go shopping for now.
Oh me, oh my.

So there you have it. This is the place that I spend my all time.

My job is better than yours.
