Classroom Before

I went by my new room to do some measuring today. While I was there, I took some before pictures.

This first picture is taken from the doorway looking across to the opposite wall. The orange things you see fastened to the wall are the student cubbies. I am not thrilled with the orange sponge-painted look. The black rectangle is a bulletin board.

This is taken from the front of the room looking back at the orange cubbies.

This picture is taken from the doorway and shows the front of the room. This is the only whiteboard and the projector is aimed this way, too. There are two bulletin boards flanking the whiteboard. The teacher desk goes in the right corner as you face the front - all the hookups for the computer and Elmo are in that corner. Lovely orange, isn't it? I do have 4 student computers, so yay for that!

The final picture is from the teacher desk area looking back towards the door.

It is a decent sized room, but there is one problem. There is no built-in storage besides the cubbies. 

Right now, there is some furniture missing. I am supposed to have 2 large cabinets on wheels and some more bookcases. The rectangular tables will be swapped out for desks. (I would rather have tables, but they are very difficult to work with during the state testing we do.)

I did some shopping for decorating materials and I have a trip to Ikea planned. More updates to follow!
