New Classroom Makeover

July 6, 2016 by Rhoda Woehlke

I’m moving to a new classroom. For the past 5 years, I have taught junior high and high school art. This year I am heading back to the elementary school. I will be teaching the 3rd/4th combination classroom.

The classroom that will be my new teaching space was formerly the teacher workroom and a space for the speech therapist and paras to work with kids.

I’ve already spent at least 3 full days working to clean old bulletin boards off, decide where furniture should be placed (for now), and how I want the movement to flow through my room. My daughter has helped me spend too much money at the dollar store and cover a filing cabinet with contact paper. I started on a rolling library cart as well.

Here is what it looked like when I started.

I will be adding more posts with some “in progress” pictures as I make some headway. And then the final reveal when I am ready to start the year! It’s exciting to be in a new classroom!

If you have links to some great resources, feel free to post them in the comments. I am starting fresh and want to get most of the design and foundation for organization completed before I start focusing on my lesson plans and long-term planning.

I am redoing my room. My new classroom will have a color theme, bulletins created by me that I also sell on TPT, and the Daily 5. Read more on the blog.

Hello! I'm Rhoda. I'm a teacher, wife, and mom of two.

Spending time being creative and designing lessons makes me happy!
I like getting nerdy on my laptop and learning new things. During the summer I like getting dirty on my Yamaha dirt-bike with the family. It's all about balance.
