I actually do have a smaller class this year than everyone else, but 32-34 in the upper grades is pretty standard around these parts.~Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302695374678919562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-41889707286008557532012-09-08T15:42:44.904-07:002012-09-08T15:42:44.904-07:00What is this "prep time" you speak of?? ...What is this "prep time" you speak of?? ;) We don't have that, other than the 20 minutes we are supposed to be at school before the bell and 10 minutes after.

I LOVE the 3D aspect of the boards.<br />I really should get rid of my teacher desk - but I'm afraid I would start piling things on the floor. ;) Where do you do your planning during prep time?<br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.rundesroom.com" rel="nofollow">Runde's Room</a>Runde's Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131626283927713737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-55718724032523333012012-09-08T09:44:59.886-07:002012-09-08T09:44:59.886-07:00I love it Stephanie!!!

One of the biggest changes I made in my room this year was to move my class library into the open closet door spaces I have in the room. It was kind of a dead space before and now it is a nook for the kids to browse and read. I really have to get going and take pictures soon! :)<br /><br />I can't wait to read all about your class happenings this year!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502794638519071800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-45281960840413817122012-09-08T08:28:25.564-07:002012-09-08T08:28:25.564-07:00I actually do not have 32 students this year eithe...I actually do not have 32 students this year either...but there is space there, just in case :)~Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302695374678919562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-29041093663642931112012-09-08T06:08:04.429-07:002012-09-08T06:08:04.429-07:0032 students!

A teacher tool box is essential to not having a desk, in my opinion. (I might be biased since I made one of those this summer.) Good luck staying organized and enjoy the rug!<br /><br />EmilyK4321Teachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704593923409212075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-75406720173581502382012-09-07T20:19:45.427-07:002012-09-07T20:19:45.427-07:00I agree!I agree!~Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00302695374678919562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-88925714063762298622012-09-07T20:19:34.232-07:002012-09-07T20:19:34.232-07:00Thanks Elizabeth.

My easel is by far the best investment I have made for this year. I also do not have a true teacher desk, just some clear plastic drawers and when I need a space to work on something for me I simply use my small group table. Teacher desks are so overrated! <br /><br />Miss Klohn<br /><i><b><a href="http://missklohnsclassroom.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Adventures of a 6th Grade Teacher</a></b></i>Katie @ Miss Klohn's Classroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952182539453384791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-91953385564526085372012-09-07T19:11:33.399-07:002012-09-07T19:11:33.399-07:00It is still in its infancy, but I am doing it (for...It is still in its infancy, but I am doing it (for now) just like I do math rotations.
