Welcome back to school with a classroom tour and FREEBIES!

It's just about that time of year again...school starts next week!

Not sure where summer went - is it just me or did it FLY by?!?! LOL

I've been in a couple of times this week to set up my classroom.

Here's a tour!

We set up our 1st day crowns activity for students to make and wear home.

Our iPads/computers will be on this table.

This is our MakerSpace area which is right beside the Writing Centre.  I will be covering it with a table cloth for the first few weeks as it won't be open just yet.

Here's another pic of our Math Centre.  Just waiting to hear back if we are allowed carpets (I have a beautiful Learning Carpet that belongs here).

This will be our Playdough Centre.  We also switch things up and leave out loose parts.

I hooked a small pocket chart behind the math shelf.  My students really enjoyed playing these games with one another.

You can find this game here -> FIND IT! Back to School Game

You may also be interested in other pocket chart activities from my Pocket Chart BUNDLE.

This is our Science and Discovery Centre.  I just left some shells from the beach with magnifying glasses and paper.  I forgot to add a book about shells here but will place next week.

This is our Small World Play area.  It's by far my favourite!

The tree house is from Wintergreen Learning Materials, the tree stump is from Scholastic and the wooden pieces are from Rebecca Moore from Moore to Love in Kindergarten.

This is our Writing Centre area.

I've had these STOP and GO signs for years!  A friend of mine asked me to make them for her so I thought I would share below if you'd like to try these out on your washroom door.

I've received so many messages asking if I will be posting my weekly plans again this year.  While I can't promise anything just yet (I have a large class and don't know what lies ahead!) I did make one for the first week of school.  I keep things pretty simple as I spend a lot of time explaining centres around the room, engaging with the students and getting to know them.
