Before
After
A
Closer Look
I freshened up the area with paint. What a difference that made, it made that
1972 wooden shelf look like new. Yes
some of the furniture in my classroom dates back to the 70's.
The bottom shelf in baskets from left to right is
envelopes, letter stencils, wooden tracing letters and booklets.
Close up look at Writing Tool Tub
I like to provide a variety of writing tools for the
children to use. This tub has removable
writing tools that can be brought to the table.
Book Making Tub
Tool so that children can create their own books. Here is a sample of a book a child made using
the tools provided.
Top shelf from left to right is foam picture stamps, foam
letter stamps, stamp pads and roll of making tape for book making or extending
their drawing.
Bottom shelf from left to right is rulers, chalk board
and tools, and picture word cards.
love the idea to use a craft stick & rubber band to make the binding of the book! so clever, I'm going to use it today! p.s. I teach preschool in Anchorage, Alaska :)

ReplyDeleteThe children have been writing like crazy since I redid the writing area. I wish I would of done it a long time ago. Better late then never, they say
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It looks very well organized! I am a student at Jacksonville State University. I'm an Elementary Education major. I think this is a really great way to engage students and motivate them to write! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great read! I recently found this video and thought it was equally helpful as this article! I figured I should share it:
