My classroom 2021

2/8/2021

My classroom is ready - well of course it is as we began school last week on Thursday. I can't believe how fast the holidays went and my time to make my classroom look pretty just went by super quick. 
Here is a post with some prompts of my classroom space for 2021! Lots went into designing this space as it is smaller and I just happen to have more stuff. My kiddies love the space and I have had lots of compliments from parents and teachers already also.

​My sensory table from @urbansalesnz and my craft area which is always a hit. 
I wanted something bright and colourful to cover the ugly brown hessian that was the majority of the front of my classroom. I saw this idea on Instagram from @thewrightclassroom and just had to create my own take for my space. Purchased from my local $2 shops and also a few from an online party store!

My play room has about 1/4 of the classroom space dedicated to it this year. That is due to the importance and also huge set up I now have! The first dramatic play prompt is a sushi shop too which the kids are loving!

Calm down corner

Last year, I came across Calm Space Collective - an Australian brand of amazing calm down tools and kits for the classroom. At this time, we had come back to class after lockdown and emotion support or regulation was a focus for us in our school. I already had a calm down space where students could go to take a breath, focus or have time to reflect on their emotions to support their transition to being ready to learn in class. 

In my corner, I have prompts, personal calming technique boards and also a box of tools for students to use. This is being added to with each calm kit I receive or get from Calm Space Collective.

Of course you don't need to have a calm down space or even a calm down kit. Its all about your students, their emotions and how they are finding the classroom. The calm down space is a well received aspect of my classroom and other teachers can see the benefits of it also. The tools that I have received in the latest kit were kindly gifted to me to continue to build this space for my students. 
If you're interested in checking the kits out for yourself, visit Calm Space Collective here.
