Command Center

Hello, friends!

Today I'd like to show you my command center.  It has some of the materials that I use on a daily basis.
*Note: emergency posters and student names have been blocked out for security reasons.*

Let's get started!

This is what I started with when I entered my classroom - a wooden cart on wheels, my emergency posters, and some very old clipboards.  No dry erase boards in sight.  Needless to say, they definitely needed to be spruced up!

First things first, updating the clipboards to be multi-functional.  I purchased a few additional clipboards in order to transition into using only colored ones.  I only purchased colors that I already had from the previous teacher.  I used repositionable dry erase sheets that I bought of Amazon and placed them on the back of the boards.  Voila!  Clip boards and dry erase boards in one!

The finished command center!

Bottom shelf: personal chalkboards (old-school, haha) and it's where I keep my stacks of morning work packets

Middle shelf: laminated letter cards for phoneme segmentation, boxtop bin, and an orange folder with 'brain breaks'

Top: finished clip/dry erase boards on a stand from ReallyGoodStuff (it holds 24 if they're back to back), dry erase markers with pompoms to erase with that are glued onto the tops, pointer bin, sharpened colored pencils (for students to trade when theirs are dull in their desk caddy), green bin to hold any pencils/markers/crayons/colored pencils/erasers that are lost from the table caddies, my teacher electric pencil sharpener, character word of the month poster

Wall: sight word and math fact flash cards on rings (Dollar Tree) hanging on Command hooks, emergency posters, and "How I Go Home" charts (personally made) with Post-It sticky strips from The Dollar Tree to hold daily notes on changes to how students go home

That's all for now!  What did you think of it?  What organization hacks have you tried for your daily routines?

Until next time,

Ms. Frisch
