These bins make it easy to switch out the game options. We do stations every Friday in math so I like just leaving out the partner math games. This is where the pencil sharper lives, 2 turn-in bins (one for math and one for science) as well as math stations. This back corner of the room is the student center. I love talking about all of the different people who have contributed to math or science and their impact, especially if they aren’t the typically old white guy. I’m obsessed with my diversity in stem classroom bulletin board set. The bookcase is mainly used to hold my teacher’s toolbox, the phone, and random supplies like clipboards and cleaning supplies. This podium is so handy to put my computer on and any supplies I need for the day. This is my front teacher area and the main place where I teach from. In elementary school, I loved the IKEA ones as they can hold take-home folders. The book bins did fall over as they are from the dollar store but I like the smaller size for middle school. The table bins are actually easter baskets that I picked up when they were 90% off, so yes each bin was $0.10! Score! I have also used book bins like these or a similar bin option from IKEA. I’ll keep you updated and see how that goes! If we need something for a particular lesson, like highlighters or rulers I’ll just add them for those days. This year, these bins will just live on the tables and hold scissors and glue sticks all the time. Last year I’d have a couple of bins that I would use for days when we used scissors and glue but I was re-creating the bins each time. I used to use them in elementary and they worked amazingly. Next up is a student organization system. And amazing walls of cabinets to store all the things! Student Organization Supplies I have 6 lab tables with 5 chairs at each. In my smaller classes, I try not to use the end chairs as they can be a little cramped.įrom the front of the room looking toward the back.

The max number of students I have in my classes is 29 so I only have to have 5 chairs at each table. But, they take up a lot of space and this room can only be arranged 1 way. I love the collaboration aspect, and yes they are great for spreading out during lab time. I have a love-hate relationship with these tables. My classroom is a science lab technically so I have different furniture than a normal math classroom. BUT I will miss teaching 5th graders! If you follow along with the 5th-grade math content, it’s not going anywhere! I’ll just be chatting about 6th-grade math too….and maybe some science content thrown in 🙂Īnyway, let’s get onto the classroom tour! The last thing I want to do is to be like the food bloggers that share a whole life backstory before sharing the actual recipe! Middle School Science Classroom Tour I’ve taught a lot of different grades and subjects and have taught this combo before so it’s not all that new. This year is a bit of a change for me, I’m teaching just 6th-grade math and science. Come on in and take a peek in my 6th grade math and science classroom!
