My Classroom – WBT Style

I have worked in my classroom the past two weeks getting ready for my 16 second grade students who will enter my class and the funtastic world of WBT tomorrow morning.  Here are some pictures of the classroom rules, the scoreboard, power pix board, Super Improver Team, The Genius Ladder, and The Brainies wall.

          

 This is a picture of my Power Pix board. The board with the red border will be used for displaying math power pix. The board with blue border will be used for displaying Language Arts power pix.

  This is a picture of my Super Improver Team. The circles on the left side of the SIT will have a student’s name written on it. As the students earn 10 stars, they will move to the next level and the color of their circle will change.  Each student will have a Super Improver booklet at their desk. In the booklet, I have a page for each level. Students can look back in their Super Improver booklet during the school year and have a visual of the super improvement they have made this year. 

   

My beginning Brainies are posted on a bulletin board in the front of the class so all of my students can easily see them.  

Here is my scoreboard (sorry about the glare, I think it is because of the items being laminated). The gold trophy located in the middle of the score board has Level 1 written on it. As I change out the different versions of the score board such as boys vs girls I will change the level on the trophy. Below the score board is the Wacky Star Fun button (I can't wait to use this tomorrow)!

  

 

 The next 3 pictures are showing my class rules. They are located on the wall in the front of the class just above the super improver team, score board, and Genius Ladder.        

Here is a picture of the Genius Ladder. I decided to write an example of each type of sentence using the bus for a visual.  

Starting at the bottom of the ladder:
