As the hussle and bussle in the halls gets increasingly real, I have finished decorating my room and I love it! I am really trying to focus on a growth mindset this year and accepting that we all make mistakes. I am also trying to help students understand math in a more meaningful way. This year, I really wanted my decorations to be meaningful. I got some great ideas from this blog. I also got a great printable bulletin board that focuses on finding the mistakes in math. I usually go for the free stuff, but this was inexpensive and has a lot in it. I have used my word wall for a few years now and love it! It is visual, colorful, and CCS aligned. Again, I did pay for it, but I've gotten a lot of use out of it. I have displayed it in different ways, but this year I decided to put the words into categories so the students can see how they go together. I was trying to figure out which wall to put it on and it was my husband's amazing idea to put them around the top of the wall. It is a great use of wasted space. I am also trying something new this year with the daily supplies that we use for our Interactive Notebooks. In years past, I have had a basket on each table. This year, I have a supply box for each student, they are numbered so they will have the same number for their Chromebooks, supplies, and calculators. I am so excited to get started with the new year!
