Welcome to my Pete the Cat Classroom! I have had a bee classroom for almost ten years and was thinking about changing when Oriental Trading contacted me about writing a back to school post! I chose many Pete the cat themed materials and can't wait to showcase them for you!
Here is my classroom library! I had this precious library front built this summer for my new Pete theme.
This precious Pete is from Oriental Trading! My awesome mother in law made me the little pillows beneath Pete. She's the best!
I organize my library by topic. Each group of books has a coordinating label on the front of the tub that matches the back of each book in that tub. These labels are from Krazee for Kindergarten's TPT shop. These books are perfect for "read the pictures" in Daily Five.
I also have emergent readers in organized in tubs by DRA level. This helps my littles choose books that they can "read the words" in Daily Five.
The back of my library leads to my whole group area. I attached felt to the back of my library shelves for story retelling with felt pieces.
My calendar is from Oriental Trading! I got these awesome Sit Spots at I Teach K this summer, where I presented about guided reading.
The back of my whole group area easel hold this pocket chart. These are our MEOW pockets. Meow stands for My Extraordinary Organized Work. This is our unfinished work.
Next to our MEOW pockets is the dramatic play area. I change this out once a month to be a different science theme.
Some of our cozy spots stay behind the whole group easel. These are our scoop rockers and laundry basket seats.
This is our STEM building area.
Next to it is this long white board where we build our focus walls for science and math, as well as our iMovie alphabet wall. I created a little Pete bunting to go above this wall.
iMovie Alphabet is where we place our QR codes that link to a movie we create for each letter of the alphabet. Students scan these during Daily Five for one of our Listen to Reading choices.
Our little clip chart
Here is my small group area.
This shelf holds many of my reading group manipulatives, my assessments tubs and my sub tub, as well as our PAWS folders - Positive and Wonderful Students!
I found this cutie cart at Lowe's years ago. It holds all of my teaching materials for each day of the week.
This little blue cart from Mardel's hold my reading groups emergent readers' as well as my math groups' materials. On top is my teacher toolbox.
I got this awesome easel through Donors Choose a few years ago. Currently it's holding a donations sign for meet the teacher, but during the year it's used for math and reading groups.
These little stools are form IKEA. They hold transition games for my littles to play while they wait for me to join them for their small group.
This is the view from my table.
Here is my Pete the Cat Word Wall. These came from Oriental Trading!
We love our Promethean Board and iPad cart! We are blessed to have ten iPads in this awesome charging cart. Under the Promethean Board are two bean bag chairs for cozy spots.
Our art station is right past the Promethean. The top of the station holds our Listening to Reading Leap Frog Pads.
Here are our Creative Activities Tubs (CAT) that hold differentiated games for kiddos to play when they finish their work as a transition activity.
This is where Work on Writing activities will go for Daily Five.
The sink area holds our robots that we use during our maker spaces. They're put away right now.
Here are my Beanie Baby Reading Strategies posters. In the frames are the 8 thinking maps.
More cozy spots! I got these stability ball chairs through Donors Choose.
Wobble stools are also cozy spots...
tray tables too!
Cubbies and book boxes
This shelf is for math stations materials and writer's workshop paper.
This little cart holds Word Work materials for Daily Five. All of the cute little posters are FREE here.
If you want any of my Pete creations, here is a folder with all of it for FREE!
I hope you have an awesome year!!

ReplyDeleteTeach Your Child to Read Today!
Reading is one of the most important skills one must master to succeed in life. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and warnings on labels, allow them to discover reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.
Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything. They are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.
At what age can you start teaching a child to read? When they're babies? At 2 years old, 3, 4, or 5 years old, or wait until they're in school?
If you delay your child's reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk...
Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level! According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, of those 67%, 33% read at just the BASIC level, and 34% CANNOT even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level!
There is a super simple and extremely effective system that will even teach 2 and 3 year old children to read.
This is a unique reading program developed by two amazing parents and reading teachers, Jim and Elena, who successfully taught their four children to read before turning 3 years old. The reading system they developed is so effective that by the time their daughter was just 4 years 2 months old, she was already reading at a grade 3 level. They have videos to prove it.
>> Click here to watch the videos and learn more.
Their reading system is called Children Learning Reading, and it is nothing like the infomercials you see on TV, showing babies appearing to read, but who have only learned to memorize a few word shapes. This is a program that will teach your child to effectively decode and read phonetically. It will give your child a big head start, and allow you to teach your child to read and help your child develop reading skills years ahead of similar aged children.
This is not a quick fix solution where you put your child in front of the TV or computer for hours and hope that your child learns to "read"... somehow...
This is a reading program that requires you, the parent, to be involved. But the results are absolutely amazing. Thousands of parents have used the Children Learning Reading program to successfully teach their children to read.
All it takes is 10 to 15 minutes a day.

We likewise offer hot snacks and crisp tidbits cooked in spotless and sterile surroundings as a possibility for guardians at extra cost. The week by week menu is wanted to take into account the dietary needs of developing children. Day Care Centre In Hsr Layout
