Rock Star Theme 2011-2012

Just here reflecting on this last year of teaching.  I came upon these pictures of when I was setting up my classroom for the 2011-2012 school year.  I wish I would have taken more pictures at the end of the year to see the beginning and the end.  I will do that this year for sure.  I had a Rock Star Theme and I loved it.  I'll post more pics if I find any.

I used plastic table clothes as a background for the plain white walls.  This is where I posted my anchor charts for reading.   

The purple bulletin board became my Data Board and my objectives were posted on a Thinking Map.  

On the map titled "World Tour"  I would post with a colored thumb tack places mentioned in books we were reading.

Half of my reading library is shown here.

                                                           
                                                                      

I posted my Alma Mater right outside my room!!  NMSU Aggies!!!  Focus my students on being college ready!
