 * "Calendar time" display
 * This is a cute way to familiarize students will the spelling of colors.


 * I thought this was a great way to display classroom rules with differentiation for students that have difficulty reading.
 * The colored spots on the floor can allow students to easily remember where they are supposed to sit while being instructed. It also gives them boundaries to keep their hands and feet in.
 * This is another way to associate children with their numbers. It allows for visual representation, spelling, and the number itself.
 * This is a drawer organizer my teacher used. She filled it up with what she was going to do each day so that everything she needed for the days lessons were in those drawers.
 * I thought this was a cute way to decorate and display the childrens work. The tree is decorated for the seasons (this one has fall leaves on it). The cats have stories that the children wrote on them.
