Transition Classroom

It's been years since I've posted here hah! But I wanted to post pictures of my classrooms that I've set up since then. That is one of my favorite parts about teaching... rearranging and decorating the room :)

This is a nursery and toddler classroom. It is separated by a half wall and functions as two separate rooms.

The blue side is the nursery.

The pink side is for toddlers.

Next up is the transition room. Ages 2 to 3.

It originally was the preschool/ Pre-K room. All those kids in one huge room, very unorganized and chaotic. When I moved in, I only utilized half the room.

The picture above is my pride and joy :) I loved the set up, I loved how my schedule flowed from one part of the day to the next, I love how organized and easy everything was.

Moving in! I had sooooo much work to do.

The pictures will show different things in different places because I like moving things around and switching stuff, a lot. Above you see my block area, and music area. I ended up putting a smaller table in the center to divide it up and allow for better play space. The white bookshelf is some of MY teacher books. The kids and other staff were pretty good about leaving my stuff alone.

Next is my tile area, which is art, sensory, science (not pictured) and meals. I also have the classroom pets there too!

I'm in LOVE with my kitchen area!! I found my kitchen set on Craigslist for only $100!! I added all kinds of "real" food items and dishes and that really set the mood. I also kept different kinds of shopping bags, make up bags, etc. for more real life items. The kids loved this area too. 

My portfolios were kept on a small shelf above the library. The white bins are from ikea!

Here are some other views of the room from various points of our journey.

The back of the classroom that we didn't use. It was mainly used as storage.
