I finally have classroom pictures to share!
Woo hoo!
Every year I think I have my classroom set exactly the way I want it, but then when summer comes around I already have tons of changes in mind that I want to do! This year I redid my borders (I loved the turquoise scrunchy border I had last year, but I wanted to bring in more bright colors!). I also added more chalkboard prints to my colorful theme, and I am so happy with how it turned out!! I look lots and lots of pictures, so enjoy!
Here is a view of the back of my classroom!
And the front corner:
I got sheet metal added to the closet doors where my students store their backpacks, so now my word wall is magnetic!
You can get my clip chart freebie {here}!
My alphabet is from the amazing Ladybug’s Teacher Files!
My “What We’re Learning” board was inspired by Christina from Sugar and Spice!
The frames on the left are for the Common Core standards that we are currently working on! I am in the process of laminating them, but I’ll take new pictures of them once I get them up!
I am working on the math standards right now, and hopefully I’ll have them done soon!
Daily 5 and Homework Club
(I was going to use my students’ pictures for my homework club like I did in the past, but I loved how Tara used numbers for hers, and since I already had numbers made for their book baskets, I decided to use them for the homework club as well!)
Side counter, CAFE board, and Daily 5 baskets
Small group table:
I’m using popsicle sticks with their numbers this year to make it easier to switch things up!
Supply table with tissues and pencil sharpener:
Bookshelves, Star Student, and Reading board.
My reading board was inspired by The Teacher Wife and her home reading tracker.
I’ll do a post on how I use this in my classroom soon!
My Expectations board was inspired by Hope King and Ron Clark’s Essential 55! It has 11 of his essentials that I stress with my students. I used Hope’s posters last year, but created my own this year to go with my chalkboard theme!
Math Material tubs:

Having student name tags on their chairs this year has worked SO much better than having them on their desks! I think by this time last year the ones on their desks were already pretty destroyed! Now since they are on their chairs, the name tags still look brand new!
You can read about my color-coded classroom library {here}.
And that’s my classroom! After looking through all the pictures I realized that I have no pictures of my front carpet where I do mini-lessons and read alouds! Probably because most of the changes from last year happened with the back and sides of the classroom! I have some pictures of that area in last year’s classroom tour, and I’ll make sure to take some more recent pictures sometime this year!
Wow! Your room looks awesome! I love all of the vibrant colors and attention to detail throughout your room. You utilized every inch! The name tags on the back of the chairs are adorable, and I love your writing and classroom job bulletin boards! I'm jealous! 🙂
Your room looks awesome! I love your name tags. The idea to put them on chairs sure seems like a neat idea!
What a colorful room you have!! It looks so clean and organized…I love it!

Your room looks fantastic! I was wondering where in California are you? I'm always looking for CA teacher bloggers. I'm in LA.
I was so relieved when I saw this Molly because now I won't be alone in posting my tour in October!!! Except I still haven't!!!!! Your room is absolutely gorgeous, though this comes as no surprise. I can't even decide what to comment on first, it's all so lovely! How difficult was it to attach the sheet metal. I LOVE how it looks and that it makes the surface magnetic. Still wish we could decorate rooms together 😉
Oh and thank you for the sweet words about the abc line!!! ❤

Love your tour. I found your blog on Mrs. Stanford's Blog. How does your Homework Club work? I saw that someone posted that above too but didn't see a response. Please email me if you can. I would love to learn about it. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Your room is absolutely stunning! I was just hired to teach third grade and I am planning for my very first year of teaching! Your blog is so inspiring and I am getting so many great ideas from looking through what you've done. Thanks so much for sharing!
Your room is stunning! I am about to begin my first year of teaching in a third grade classroom this Fall and you have given me so many great ideas. I am completely inspired by what you've done and I look forward to using some similar ideas in my own room! Thanks so much for sharing!
I LOVE your room! I've already added your letters and numbers pack to my TPT basket. :o) I'd like to do the name tags on the backs of the chairs like yours. Where did you get them? Thanks for sharing your talents and your classroom.
Where did you get the perfect blue lampshade? Love it. I need one! Cute room.
I got it from Target!!
I have a looked EVERYWHERE for a number line like yours'!!!!!!! Where did you find it? Thank you and your room is gorgeous!
I love your classroom. Do you happen to know the name of the paint on your classroom walls?
Hi Casey! I have no clue what it is! The colors in the photographs are pretty close to the actual colors though!!
Hi Molly, have seen a few people ask you where you got your great chair name tags from. Please share! Your room is gorgeous!
Thanks so much, Kai!! They are available in my TPT store! You can get them here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Chevron-Name-Tags-for-student-chairs-1324093

Where did you get your book bin labels?

Thanks!

Hi Molly! I love your classroom! Where did you get the library pockets and round labels for your daily jobs?
Hi Lindsey!! Thank you SO much!!! I got the library pockets from Paper Source! You can get them online here: http://www.papersource.com/envelopes/glassine-envelopes.html The round labels I made a while back, but let me see if I can find them on my other computer!!! I'll let you know!
Molly
Thank you Molly! Were you able to find the round labels? Also, the color papers in your pockets…are those just cardstock? Thanks!
Lindsey
Hi Molly! I love your classroom and will for sure be purchasing your chair name tag labels! I think those will work SO much better then what I usually do! I was wondering if you could explain how your homework club works?! I would like to implement something like that this year! Thanks!

OMG, your room is awesome and huge! I so love it. Did you change it this year?
