Let's be Franco Classroom Tour

One of my favorite times of year is classroom set up time! All the materials are set up and organized, ready to start the year. Bulletin board are up and don't have that "I have been stapled too many times" faded look that they get as student work gets put up and down each month (well some months...). 

Here is a glimpse into my classroom! 
Let's be Franco
Let's talk bulletin boards. I love setting up bulletin boards inside the classroom that can stay up for all or most of the year. This year I decided to set up reference bulletin boards for math and science.

Engineering Bulletin Board
We follow the NGSS science standards and started off the year with an engineering design unit. As the year continues, I will be changing this bulletin board based on the 4 other units we study. 

Math Talk Posters

I want to remind my students that talking about math and understanding the why is just as important as finding the correct answer. I use this Math Talk display as a reminder!

Project Morning Bulletin Board
Project Morning may be my favorite part about the morning. This is a time designated for the students to enjoy their passions and start the day on a positive note. The students have their choice of 11 different menus including Math, Engineering, Mindfulness, and more. The bulletin board displays the sign up sheets for the week. The students choose the menu they will be working on for the week and sign up on the bulletin board papers. If you want more information on this morning work, click here.

My Number Story
Ok, I confess, I did this activity after the school year started. This was my first math lesson of the year and the way I like to get to know my students. My Number Story tells the story of each student using numbers! They go around to different stations and write the answers on this banner. It makes a great bulletin board for Back to School Night.

Math Bulletin Board Display
My math reference bulletin board is a new addition this year! I love having all math reference information in one place. It is like a permanent anchor chart!

Here are a few of my inspirational quotes that I have around the room. I just love the growth mindset reminders. I put them in a simple dollar store frame to make them stand out. 

I love walking in to my classroom and loving the decor. I feel like it immediately brightens my day. I was surrounded by flowers my whole life and I wanted to bring the floral inside with my decor this year.
