Small classroom setup

Have you ever had to teach in a super small classroom? In my first year of teaching, that was exactly what happened. My very first classroom actually used to be a storage closet for PE equipment (not even joking) and was eventually expanded a bit so that it could be converted into a classroom. I only had six students that year (not joking about that either), so we had no trouble fitting in the space, and I also didn't have that much stuff because it was only my first year of teaching. Fast…

I have a small room (hence the name Little Room Under the Stairs) so organization is very important. 1. Choose a few colors to decorate the room. Small rooms are not a place to go hog wild. A little goes a long way! My cabinets are blue and my walls are a yellowish cream color. I use blue, yellow, and green for my color scheme. 2. Downsize as much as possible. When I moved into my new room, I had 11 boxes of trade books that I had purchased while teaching elementary resource. That took up a…

Another down side to being a new teacher is not having a permanent classroom. In my last post I explained that my classroom is an added classroom. We have such large enrollment numbers at my school that we have 5 Kindergarten classrooms! So, with that being said, I also have the smallest of the 5 classrooms. My classroom isn't even technically a classroom. But, that's fine by me! While everyone else has wall to wall carpet (yuck!), I have a nice tiled floor. The room is a lot brighter and…
