Welcome to my K-1 classroom in Kaktovik, Alaska in the North Slope Borough School District! For those of you who are new to multi-graded classrooms (you obviously haven't haven't read my posts from Diomede, Alaska) K-1 means that I have both Kindergartners and 1st graders in the same classroom at the same time! Amazing! I actually love them and am super excited about starting school tomorrow with my 10 students, only 2 of whom are girls 😢. With 8 boys it will be a wild year I'm sure. I decorated this door by myself as I did all of my decorations and the flowers are 3-D origami I made with the help of youtube.
When you first walk in you're greeted by Clifford who is obscured in this picture and the hanging Hungry Caterpillar who likes to watch over our little readers during reading time. I'll have to teach the kids how not to treat the Hungry Caterpillar like a 24/7 pinata.
From a different view of our reading corner you can see Dr. Seuss decorating the walls. All of the books are organized according to either author, theme, or according to the rainbow fashion.
Then we have our Bridges Math corner. I used fabric to decorate the backdrop of the bulletin board and Pete the Cat boarders to go around it. I've never taught Bridges before but I already love it and have even looked at buying it for the school I hope to open in Afghanistan.
Here is my penguin cabinet with a Word Family Town on the right. Learning sure is fun in Ms. Mirabelle's K-1st classroom!
And here is a walking tour through my classroom. 😁
