Here are the pictures of my classroom this year. I am NOT finished yet, but I wanted to go ahead and share a few. I am patiently waiting for my class list so I can finish all of my labels. :-)
This is the outside of my door. The inside of my door will be the Guess Who game with pictures of my kiddos.
Your room looks awesome! I love your idea...so creative! It is very organized and cohesive! Great Job! I can't wait to get in to my classroom and start creating!
I love your style and look forward each year to seeing your pictures. I have used a few of your ideas previously including the document to put students names on sodas (thanks for sharing) for my food theme that I can't seem to give up yet!
WELL DONE and good luck with your new kiddos...they will love the new game environment !
I'd love to see a more clear picture of your "Game of Life" wall. I like the sayings on the pieces but can't read them all. Would you be able to post another picture or tell me where you got the sayings? Thanks! Awesome room by the way!!
Thank you all for the compliments!! I have had so much fun with this theme! I am ready to have it all put together and see how the completed room looks.
misscrig - I teach 3rd grade.
BabsTheTeach - I posted those earlier this summer, but I am attaching them again because it's easier than looking. ;-) I just had them enlarged to 11 x 17 at Office Depot and then put them together on the wall. There are two files (one with words and one with pictures).
Doden...of course you can steal ideas!! That's why I share them (and where do you think I got my ideas?!?) :-)
Beachmom24...I don't do class jobs because I am awful at remembering to change them. I just use a scholar of the week (which is my checkmate this year), and that person does everything I need. If you wanted to do jobs you could do a generic game board with a job on each space (or every other space) and names on game pawns. You could move the game pawns around to change the jobs.
I think I am going to borrow it!!! I teach World Geography and Cultures and I'm thinking about a "Games around the World." theme. I pulled up some games on the internet and am looking up their origins ... maybe map them? I think "Game Day" as a reward would be motivating, too. I really love the boards you have made.
You are incredibly creative. I would have never thought to do a game theme. Great job on the classroom. Your students will love it and be so motivated by it.
In my previous post, I mentioned that I teach World Geograpy, Cultures, History. (6th)
I'm thinking of a bulletin board with "Capture the Flag" It will contain some of the flags from the continent we happen to be studying.
Also "Studying the past and present helps us CONNECT 4 understanding" (that needs a little work)
Let the Games Begin! (Outside board for the beginning of the year) - 1st project - my students will research game origins and write information about the game onto a large index card and include a picture (either drawn or printed) I was also thinking about graphing favorite games.
To add to the Cheese it idea for your open house, you could put some crackers on scrabble trays and even label them with the letters HELP YOURSELF
Instead of "Let the Games Begin", I put a Twister spinner on my board along with the words "Twisting in a New Year" It was an idea I found a long time ago, but never used. It's perfect for this!
The data board is all new to us this year. If you come up with more ideas for boards with this theme, I would love to hear them. It would be fun to change them up every now and then.
