Reading Comprehension Stories: A Few Classrooms in Progress Pics

Here are a few pictures of my classroom in progress. Be warned - it is fairly messy, but coming along... I have 4 more days before I officially have to be back. Friday is my first official day back, but will luckily be a work in my room day. The following week is mostly professional development and then school starts for us August 20th. Fingers crossed that I can get this all pulled together!

Bunches of books waiting to go on the shelves that hubby was lugging in while I took the pic. We definitely need to appreciate the men who are so supportive in our lives!

A table full of "projects" and my Really Good Stuff boxes in the back. I couldn't decide what to do about student book boxes, but the school made it easy for me with this set already in the class. I only had 12 in there so they ordered another set so each student will have one! YEAH!

My Daily 5 wall and CRAFT (instead of CAFE) wall. I liked this version better for older students.Ladybug's Teacher Files has them as a free download if you would like!

My teacher's "desk" well table. Instead of a desk, I am just going to work from my kidney table. Again, another messy table to clean up. In the back is my FACE of a mathematician wall. I will link up to it when I figure out where I found it.

And... not exactly my classroom, but a shot of my three little hooligans who came to help - but instead found the sprinklers on. They were DRENCHED in this picture and are peeking in on my husband and I.

I decided to share my unfinished pics because I know it makes me feel a little tiny bit better when I peek in classrooms down the hall that are just as unfinished as mine. So... if your classroom is in the disarray that mine is in right now, take solace, you are not alone!

Run! Miss Nelson's Got the Camera is hosting a linky for before and after classroom pictures. She is also having a fun giveaway! Although my "after" part isn't completely done, I linked up and you should too! I love looking into other classrooms!
