Finally getting a chance to link up with Ashley from Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd and Angie from Lucky Little Learners. Since I just moved last Saturday I haven't exactly gotten to get into my new room. I went by to drop off all my school materials on Monday, but the floors were being waxed in my room. I had to drop off my materials in the book room as seen below. Don't judge the large mess. I selected boards from Pinterest that I am planning to utilize when I actually get into my classroom (which i haven't even seen). I came across this and I think it is adorable. Anytime you can get students interested in reading you've accomplished something. My prior years of students love musical lyrics and why not put a spin on Call Me Maybe?? I am planning on putting this board in the hallway, so others can enjoy as well. I am also planning on setting this bulletin board in my classroom. I love the terminology that goes along with evidence based learning. Last year I spent a good amount of time explaining to my students how to cite evidence in a text and how to use it to prove your ideas or points. This bulletin board would provide students a place to visually see examples of evidence based learning. Last, but certainly not least. I tell my students all the time during writing to use fancy words. I tell them that no one wants to read blah writing. Blah writing has no unique thought or individual idea behind it. You know what I am talking about. We try to help one another by not using blah vocab. As a group we collectively brainstorm fancy words to use in our writing, so this board would be very helpful. Thanks for joining me for this link up! Come back soon to read more.
Welcome to my classroom! In order for me to accurately give you a glimpse into the fourth grade funky town that I work in I thought you might need to have a few (and I say that word lightly) pictures. I say a few lightly due to the fact that today when I stopped by school on my winter break to take pictures I was snapping left and right like Lady Gaga (pa pa papararrazi). My room is located on the third floor at our school about half way down the hallway. This picture is looking out of my door to the left. Here is the view from the right. Yes the hallways are huge. The school I work in was originally built to be a high school which it was for many many years. My grandmother actually graduated from this school. It was changed to a junior high and was a that for quite some time. I attended this school as a junior high (before middle school was a thing). Since 2003-2004 (I believe don't quote me on that) it changed to an elementary school. The lockers were removed from the hallways and here you have large boards covering up the wholes left behind by the lockers and herein lies the large hallways. If you look closely you can see the extra large subway tiles circa 1930's. Side note yes those are my boards to the right and yes that red paper falling off belongs to me, guilty as charged. The boards began the year amazing thanks to one of my wonderful accountant friends who came and used her creative juices to bedazzle my boards. We are now almost to March and yes the boards are tattered and torn to smithereens. I think there is chocolate milk stains splatter on one. Welcome to the jungle where nothing but learning happens............NOT! Here is my lovely door tag and mailbox (soon to be Mrs. Palmer booya). I had to zoom in so that you could see the name on the curtain. No worries I got my mom to make two, planning ahead because I knew I would be getting my MRS degree soon! Please don't judge, like I said these pictures were taken in late February and so this is my classroom in real life like today. I have the desks set up into three tables as shown here. Here is a snap shot of my desk corner. This is my guided reading table. I made those little seats this summer which was not that hard, but quite the adventure. Here is another little bench area of seating. We try to be bucker fillers in our classroom (when we remember it). This bookcase houses all of my math manipulates in protein powder containers turned into fancy smancy containers. The kids love that everything in them smells like chocolate. This corner is the classroom library. This shelve houses my read alouds for the year. All of the bins are labeled with my chevron genre labels found on TPT. The next few pictures are of my back wall of bulletin boards. This bin has all of my students writing in. They are numbered folders that they students put their published work in when they have completed their rough draft, edit and revised copy and then published their piece of writing. These have our blank writing papers, revision pens, and paper clips and other supplies needed for writing. This basket is located to the left of the writing area, it houses their homework folders that I check daily. My extra anchor charts are hanging here in the corner of the room. The next few pictures are the students bins, that are numbered and house their reader's notebooks, writer's notebooks, buddy study folder and other random assortments. Here are my storage cabinets with the students birthday posted. Here is an inside view of the madness. Yes I am old fashion and used a clip chart to manage the little hooligans. Hey what can you say it works. Well there it is folks, my classroom in a nut shell. Please feel free to comment and ask questions! Thanks for stopping by.

I have been doing a form of Math Workshop (we call them rotations in my room) for a few years now. It has worked just fine, but I felt that I wasn't really holding my students as accountable as I could. I also wanted to work in a bit more small group time for myself and my aide, so I changed my "two rotation" system to a "three rotation" one. Math instruction takes place in my room from 10:35 to 11:40am (with an added 20 minutes after lunch.) I have a full hour and a half. I know I am very lucky to have this time, so I use it. :) Here is what my Math time looks like: 10:40 - 11:00am Rotation 1 11:00 - 11:20am Rotation 2 11:20 - 11:40am Rotation 3 Lunch 12:20 - 12:40am Calendar Review/HW Review There are three stations that the students are rotating through each day: Mrs. Moorman (that is the teacher station) Problem Solving Calendar/Skill/Choice I have broken my students into four groups. Each group goes to each station daily. Every group will go to a different station at a different time, beginning each day with either Problem Solving or Calendar. During the first twenty minutes, I do not have a formal group. During this time, I either pull a small group of students, or I walk around to help kids with their problem solving strategies. Then, during Rotation 2 and 3, I teach my lesson for the day. Two groups come to me at a time, and I basically teach the same lesson to both sessions. That way, all four groups hear the same lesson daily. In another post, I will go into more detail just what each station entails, but today, I thought I would show you how I organized each student. They were given a folder with prongs. All materials for the week are kept in this folder. Since each group of students has a different schedule (as far as which rotation to go to on which day), I gave them each a schedule to place in a page protector in the center of the folder. They also have a recording sheet to keep track of what they are working on for the week. This recording sheet is collected on Friday, along with all completed and unfinished work for a work habit grade. Here are the sheets I used to set up the folders. The "towers" as we call them hold all of the materials the students need for each of the rotations. All of the groups are color coded, so all of the tubs match that color. There is a Problem Solving tub and a Choice tub for each group. There is also a Skills envelope for each group. In the tubs are games, activities, and open ended math projects for the students to complete during the rotation. These are designed to last more than one session. The activities are also differentiated for each group. So my lower groups have more remediation based activities while my highest group has more accelerated activities. I also have my aide schedule posted for the week so that she will know who to call. I have it set up now so that during the Problem Solving rotation, she calls members over who need remediation in a skill they just haven't picked up. I plan to see how that works, and then change it if necessary. So far, so good. What took the most thinking was setting up my groups so that every child visited every station every day. If you click here, and scroll down, you will see my time tables for everything. Once I had that figured out, everything else fell into place. OK. So that is how I set it up. Do you do Math Workshop? How is your schedule set up? My next post in this series will be a more in depth look at the three stations I have.
