Kindergarten Classroom Reveal 2016-17

Kindergarten Classroom Reveal 2016-17:  It has been a whirlwind of excitement and craziness as my school year began on Wednesday.  Every year I forget, kind of like childbirth, what it’s really like to teach kindergarten those first few days.  How could I forget?  Well, no matter how I forgot, I forgot.  And I was overwhelmed and stressed to the max, but utterly in love with my new kiddos.   I have 15 students, 7 girls and 8 boys  They are sweet and funny.  Some can write their name and others make circles and x’s for their name, and that’s ok.  Some have a million questions and others are so quiet that I can barely hear what they say.  Kindergarten is the beginning, their beginning at school and my classroom is the start.  I hope you love the reveal.

    Great ideas! Where did you get the play kitchen from? Is it from Target? Also, where is your alphabet that is on the wall from?
    Thanks

      It was from Target and the alphabet on the wall is from Ladybug Teacher Files (the one above my board is by Ashley Schroeder) 😉

      The numbers are by Sarah Cooley, I painted the cabinet, and the bus is a giant version of one of my crafts on TpT 😉 hope that helps!

    Beautiful classroom! Just so you know, where it says “Now I Know my ABCs”, you have “now” instead of “know” 🙂

    Your room is amazing! You have obviously put a lot of thought and work into creating such an inviting space. I hope you have a wonderful year! How did you make the colorful border around the “Kinder” board? Too cute!

    Thank you: )

    Hi, I was looking at your classroom pics to get inspired for next year. I noticed your stools at your reading table, I have those same ones that I used in third this year. However, I am moving back to Kindergarten next year and am wondering if your stools were a good size for kinders? I love those so much and didn’t want to have to part from them.. (I taught Kinder for two years and got a job at a school that I live close to and the only position available was 3rd but they are getting to move me to kinder next year, just fyi lol)

      They work great for my Kinders! I wouldn’t necessarily use them for their all day seating, but they are perfect for stations and small group 😉

    I love how happy your room looks! I’m changing grades from first to kinder next school year and I have been looking for a new color to paint the classroom. I had been thinking about gray for a while and love the look of it on your walls. Do you happen to know what this gray is called?

      Thank you so much! No, I am sorry, I don’t have any idea what the gray was called. I will ask in the office and update this comment if I find out! Thanks!!!

    So, on your “wow work” wall it looks as though you just hung clothes pins directly onto the cinder block. What kind of adhesive did you use to do this??

    Reply
    • Jennifer says

      October 17, 2017 at 12:31 pm

      I use several different things, I use hot glue on the cool setting and if that won’t work, then I use the 3M hook adhesive strips. Hope that helps!

      I got it years ago at Office Depot. The brand is “Sauder” and the model is 9097-475. Hope that helps!
