We’ve been back in class for a few weeks getting settled in to new routines and classrooms. It’s been a great start! My classroom theme is really a theme of colors. I am using blue, teal, and lime green. It feels calm and cool!
My teacher’s desk area. And in full disclosure, I think I had to move a pile or two of papers from the top of my desk to a drawer so I could take this picture!! If you look carefully, you can see my coffee sitting on the desk that I forgot to remove before snapping this photo.
I keep my literature sets in leveled baskets on a shelf by my desk. These are the books I pull from to teach in my small groups. I don’t have any basal readers in my room. I don’t use a program so that leaves me able to use quality literature that my students will enjoy!

I am using teal and purple colors this year, it's a little slow coming together. Your room looks calm and cool, which is perfect! We have been in school several weeks now, our district insists on using research based curriculum only, so lots of direct instruction, it's not a bad thing, but it is difficult to find time for leveled books and I really want to use them! great organization ! thanks for the peek into your classroom.
