Classroom Organization

Hi Everyone! It's time to get organized. First things first...let's get the classroom organized! I like to go into school a few days early and begin placing chairs and desks in order. I also like to clean everything. Sometimes, I draw a sketch to determine how I will place desks. Remember this is not set in stone. Desks can be moved throughout the school year for the best learning atmosphere. Next, I like to plan and decorate bulletin boards. Bulletin boards are so helpful with teaching. They help students with understanding of concepts and add excitement to the classroom! Finally, I prepare my schedule and lesson plans. These are essential to teaching. Now, everything is ready for the students! Let School Begin!

The lesson is really not that difficult to write using Common Core. Give it a try!
