Here are the things I couldn't teach without.
This is what the front of my classroom looked like last year. I LOVE my Promethean board and my Elmo. They make things easy, fun, and engaging.
Next, I couldn't teach without my U-shaped table. It doesn't matter what kind of U-shape it is, I just have to have one for small group time. I am short and have short arms, so this kind of table really makes things easier for me. The other thing in this picture is my pencil sharpener. I got it for Christmas last year. (I know I am a dork.) It makes the pencils last so much longer! The pencil sharpener that is mounted to the wall just eats them up.
I also couldn't teach without journals. We do a lot of our work in journals. We are going to be doing even more this year. They are compact, easy to manage, and a great way to see progress.

Fantastic 1st Grade
I wish we had Smartboards at our school! Regular old whiteboards here. I love Smartboards, used them during my student teaching and became an expert.
I agree with the journals. A little trick I use at the beginning of the year.... I cut the journals in half. You need sharp scissors to get through the wire. Kids only use a little paper at a time and this helps them last longer :)
I have heard of that before and it sounds like a great plan. Thanks for sharing!
