Classroom setup is almost complete. Moving up from 5th to 6th grade also meant moving classrooms. I am so excited about my new space!
Here's a view of one wall - the white paint is IDEA (dry erase) paint. Three of my four walls are covered with IDEA paint, with the hope of having enough #VNPS (vertical non-permanent surfaces) for all students to be up and writing at the same time!
Above the IDEA paint are 3 of my 9 mathematical habits posters inspired by Tracy Zager's (@TracyZager) fantastic book Becoming the Math Teacher You Wish You'd Had. I read this fabulous book over the summer and am thrilled to have these 9 mathematical practices influencing all of our work this year!
One last exciting idea that I'm starting the school year with, also from Sara VanDerWerf, are these name tents that double as a great communication tool between myself and my students.
Here's to a new room, new grade level, new start, and so many new ideas thanks to my #MTBoS superheroes!

Another new addition to my classroom this year is the "play table," inspired by the fantastic Sara VanDerWerf (@saravdwerf). When I read her post at the beginning of the summer I knew I had to try it this year! I can't wait to see the students in action at this table. I have a variety of "toys" that I plan to switch out every few weeks.
