Big move this year into the main office!
I actually have an office instead of a classroom.
(More on how I feel about this at the end of this post.)
The first thing I had to do was make it look a little more kid friendly.
These colorful "BE" words and tree with lights were just what this wall needed!
This area has all of my calm-down tools, games, Play-doh, balls...
The blue treasure chest has treasures for our PBIS program.
This area houses my books, separated by topics. The clear plastic trays on the shelf have kinetic sand in them. I recommend this for every counseling office! It's fun to play with, but also very relaxing.
The basket has several Emoji pillows I bought from Wal-Mart for less than $5 each.
Inside the drawer on this table are drawing paper, crayons, and markers. Under the table are puzzles. A new addition to my office this year is the Lite-Brite! I'm always looking for different things for the kids to do while we talk.
So, my feelings on moving into the main office...
I've discovered that I love it! Now that I don't have my own classroom, I travel from room to room for whole group lessons. I love that, too!
I still have a large closet down by my old classroom that I was able to turn into a small group room.
The best part is when the principal or front office ladies need me, I don't have to walk all the way across the school to get to them. Life is Good, for sure!
