Tales of a first grade Teacher Linky Party

Now for the After Pictures:
This is my circle area. The back wall is going to be where the children's art and projects will be displayed. I saw this idea on pinterest. I'm going to give each child a spot with their own binder-clip and name tag to hang their work. I'm just waiting for my full class list so I can add them to the wall. It is divided by AM and PM. My circle cart is covered by sheet that was cut and velcroed on. I also added more zebra material above the whiteboard for an accent. The palm tree was going to be used for birthdays but this school does not celebrate birthdays :(
This is the writing area. It is a work in progress...I'm going to add alphabets in different languages and more supplies. There is white cord above to hang children's art to dry. No more heavy drying racks!!
This is my class reading hut! I couldn't do my bamboo one like before due to space issues but I'm really happy with the way it turned out! I have the reading buddies on the side, pillows with my zebra fabric, the back wall in covered in patio screening, and a canopy made from the burlap. The door to the right is the bathroom and the door to the left is my office. It is going to be so nice to have an office this year!
This is my drama area. The only space big enough with a wall was right by the door so we will see how this works. I thought I could use the whiteboard to turn it into all of the different themes (store, vet, hospital etc.).
This is where the kids will eat and brush their teeth. These tables will also be used for Science, Games, and Art. I think I'm going to label them with animals, for example the Science table will also be called the Tiger table. That way the kids will see the tiger and know which table to go to.
This is my circle area again, but this picture also shows my listening area and "My Family" picture area. I took family pictures at the home visits and the pictures will go there. Now I just to wait for the kiddos to start :)
Thanks so much for linking up! Your reading hut is awesome.
