My Classroom :)

It's about time I posted on here. It's been way too long! Just wanted to show you some pictures from my classroom. For the first time in my teaching career I didn't have to move schools and could keep things up in my room. Enjoy!

Here is my classroom for the 2010-2011 school year. I hope you like it ;) I guess it's very functional for me and much cleaner now. It was nice to have some time to organize a bit. The smart board in the corner is the big white board that is interactive with the computer. You can touch the screen and write on it with a marker and erase with an eraser. It has a projector that projects everything onto the screen.

Here is the door going outside my classroom. I also have two very large practice rooms. Great idea but I really have no use for them in my room since we do not have individuals practicing by themselves in the practice rooms.

Some of the chairs in my room and a word wall on the far wall.

My mission statement for the kids.

There are some guitars on the back wall but they need strings. Hoping to get the strings bought by money from some generous parents.

I have a white board in the back of the room and tiered seating. It works very well.

Another view of the front of the room.

I was excited to meet the students the night of meet the teacher night.

I had about five show up. Here is my desk area with my computer in the back of the room. THis area is off limits to students.

It's working out really well. I sometimes use my i-pod and play songs for the kids. I have also recently brought out the piano and set it outside of my desk area to accompany classes with the music that we are learning.
