My Monster-ous Classroom

Image
 As promised, here are some pictures from my classroom.
This is a picture of my enormous white board,
which I cover with butcher paper to make curriculum bulletin boards.
Above my white board are my math vocabulary cards.
And below my white board are my number line
and multiplication race track.

 These are the rules of my classroom.
In short I want my students to be STARR students.
Safe, on Task, Attitude, Respectful and Responsible.
This year I am using the Monsters Inc. characters 
to help my students remember what each rule means.

 "Read Every Day for a Monster Sundae"
Our students are competing for an ice cream party.
The class that reads the most books throughout the year wins!
Our monsters will "grow" as our students start to read.
My monster is the red one.

 We have monsters all over our room.
This one is the most recognizable.

This week classes started.
We had our students make their own monsters.
Don't I teach the best students??
