Let's Get Acquainted Linky

It's that time again...Latoya's Let's Get Acquainted Linky!  This week's linky is to share 3 of our favorite areas in our classrooms.  Since we spend so much of our time here this sounds like a great one.  So here goes...

1.  My Classroom Library

Here is one section of my classroom library.  I have my chapter books separated into bins. 

I love the colors.

 

This area I keep picture books.  It isn't very neat...I gotta clean this up.

 

I have a bunch of critters that the kiddos can read with.  This also shows my book bins that I made to match the polka dots I have throughout the room.

 

 

 

2.  My Desk Area

 

Here is my desk...do you notice the polka dots again.

This is one of the metal bookshelves behind my desk.  This is the taller one, where I keep my resources that I need handy.

This is the shorter bookcase with my teacher storage organizer.  The bottom case is a bookshelf with no shelves.  This one I covered with matching polka dot fabric to hide the supplies inside.

3.  My Bulletin Boards

And these are pictures of my bulletin board.  This one is before the kiddos came (no work...now it is full!).  I doubled my borders to match my subject colors.  It makes it pop a lot more.

This is the front of my classroom with the chalkboard.  I have my cute posters on each side of my alphabet line.  I guess I need to keep this one as my chalkboards are being replaced by white boards soon.  I will miss my chalkboard...

 

 

Now go join in the fun.  I love sneaking a peek into other classrooms....don't you???  :)

Let's Get Acquainted Linky

I'm linking up with Latoya from Flying into First Grade again this week for her fun Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party.  Click on the picture to join up!

 

 Here is this week's fun topic: 

TOPIC - Skittles Game

 

Here is the code:

Red- Favorite Ice Cream Flavor

Orange- Favorite Memory from College

Yellow- Favorite Sports Team

Green- Favorite Fast Food Place

Purple- Wild Card(Tell anything about yourself)

 

 

Okay here goes:  Red - My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate chip.  Yum!

 

 

 

Orange - My favorite memory from college is when all of us teacher students were student teaching.  We would meet up on Fridays, after student teaching all week long, at a local bar with a few pictures of beer just talking about our weeks and what we got ourselves into!  The beer helped everything seem so much better!!!

 

Yellow - My favorite sports team has always been the Chicago Bears.  But now that Urlacher is no longer on the team, I don't know what I'm going to do.  We did go to a Wolves game on Saturday, so maybe I should switch to hockey???

 

     

Green - My favorite fast food place is a toss up between Chipolte and Panera.  I love a veggie burrito bowl from Chipolte and the BBQ chicken salad from Panera.  Now I'm hungry...Gotta love both!

 

Purple - Like I said in my sports answer...we just went to my son's first Chicago Wolves game.  He got free tickets for being the second highest fundraiser for his school's Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser.  We went with Grammie and Grampa too!  The Wolves were tied and went into overtime.  Then they tied again and went into a shoot out.  So exciting for his first hockey game.  It was so much fun!

 

 

I can't believe that the next day he woke up to having a voice.  If I screamed like he did that night, I would have lost my voice for a week!  To have young vocal cords again....  Don't you just love that expression and of course the Wolves claw on his hand! 

 

So that means that in the last 3 weeks we have gone to a White Sox game and a Wolves game.  Any ideas on what team we go see next????

 

 

Don't forget to join in the fun.  Click on the picture above to join in.  Happy Monday everyone!  :)

Let's Get Acquainted Linky

I'm linking up with Latoya again from Flying into First Grade for her weekly Let's Get Acquainted Linky Party. 

This week's topic is -

Stranded on an Island-What three things would you have to have with you?

 

 

1- My family.  I just couldn't imagine going anywhere without my buddies...my 7 year old son, my 20 year old son, my parents, my cat, and I guess I'll let my husband come too...maybe!  :)



2- On my island, I would assume I would have WiFi, so I'm bringing my IPAD.  I just got it for Christmas, so I don't want to be parted with it yet.  And besides, this way I can keep up to date on all of your blogs, and still have my son play his games.



3- And finally a huge bag with lots of suntan lotion, food, and building supplies (I know that is probably cheating, but come on...I want to be comfortable on the island!)  I don't think this bag is big enough, but it is the one I use for school so it is pretty big.

Now go and link up with Latoya at Flying into First Grade, and Let's Get Acquainted!  :)
