Looks great!

You could move the library shelf facing you instead. So the library will be open towards your table. Looking great so far!

[@jesterx888]

My thoughts as well!

[@teacherof20]

I thought this too!

That’s what I was thinking. The Chromebook cart could go behind that shelf that would now be facing the teacher table.

Oops- just posted this idea had I seen yours I’d just agree.

You could turn the 2 back tables lengthwise. This would open space I the back of the room. You might even be able to slide your rug back a bit. I would also slide the one bookshelf up to the ac unit. Then place the other bookshelf coming out from the corner of the ac unit, this would fill that empty spot, without blocking the airflow much. On the back of the of the other book shelf, you could store student supplies, such as pencils, crayons, glue, etc.

You could also, move your black cube shelf on top of your cabinets in the corner behind your small group table. Then your 10 drawer cart can move to where you had the black cube shelf.

I like this idea 💖

I have an air/heating unit in my room. What I did is I put a pocket chart on the back of the bookshelf and then used the heating unit as a magnet area for putting alphabet in order, making CVC words, forming sight words, etc. It has always worked out rather well for my center time during small group.

[@samaraortiz9954]

Can you put the book shelf facing the other way? Push the one with the red bins all the way over flush with ac, flip the other one. It will eliminate the blind spot. The comp cart will prevent shelf tipping and getting computers is quick so no kids will be back there without your supervision.

I like the idea of putting your black shelf on the counter and placing your 10 drawer cart back beside your teacher table. Then maybe move the math manipulative shelf in the open space in front of the hooks/storage cabinets and stadium bookshelves beside each other. Do students turn in work as they enter the classroom? Maybe consider using another surface for turning in work and getting rid of the table. Also, I think the large group rug would look better turned around.

You could utilize the air unit for a word building/magnets center. I like the bookshelf in the front. I had a piece similar and when students were done with their work they could get a book to look at (like an early finisher activity). I would keep all furniture pieces until you either find the perfect spot or if you absolutely do not need it because more than likely you will not get it back!

Take out the bigger area rug for sure it looks a bit outdated for the color choice replace it with a lighter color… the classroom color flow is giving a bit to serious with those stronger colors & can make them a bit nervous on the first day…. keep the little library nook put some bing bags in that area put some happy vinyl stickers on the windows so it won’t be so bland the seating arrangement looks a bit every where try putting it all together in the shape of a circle so you can have more room Happy Teaching 🎊 🎊 🎉🎉

[@annestankiewicz8755]

Move back row tabkes towards ac a bit and move the bookshelf on the edge of the rug facing the other bookshelf, then you wont have as big of a blindspot

[@swinapatel9310]

How do you deal with hallway misbehavior? What consequences do you use in your classroom and for running in the hallway? Also do you have a studnet sit right next to you if they need to be in close proximity to you and where do they sit next to you? Do they sit right next to you at the kidney table ? Please answer just curious studying elementary education starting my third year of online college in September.

You should update your wish list for a rug. I went to see if your added one and it is not there yet?
