I love them! I have been just using a section of one of my white boards, but want to change to a bulletin board and I would LOVE to use those!! I may be missing them, I looked on the BB for music teachers site, and could not see them.<br />Thank you,<br />Steph Givan<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482601305408314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730939748391575394.post-86527806170844721002013-09-17T11:12:30.512-05:002013-09-17T11:12:30.512-05:00Thank you! :-)Thank you! :-)Tracy Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956326480720210937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730939748391575394.post-46885398419533778612013-09-17T11:11:35.006-05:002013-09-17T11:11:35.006-05:00I do both.

The chairs are set up in three rows (mostly). The front row is split so that some of the chairs are on three sides of the carpet. I have an aisle in the middle so I can get to anyone quickly if I need to. 3rd-6th sits in the chairs (unless we are doing activities that require us to be in the floor like playing instruments, movement or occasionally watching a video) and their seats are assigned as well. I like assigned seats because it really helps me learn names. I'm so bad with names! :-) So, the way it is set up both older and younger students are facing the Smartboard. I often push the chairs out of the way or stack them for my younger classes so we have more room to wiggle. Fortunately, my schedule is set up so that I have K-2 in the morning and 3-6 in the afternoon so I can complete change the set up if I need to.Tracy Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956326480720210937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730939748391575394.post-65958498328249015172013-09-12T20:50:59.170-05:002013-09-12T20:50:59.170-05:00Hey Mrs. King!

I have the same 30-seater carpet and 26 chairs in my room. I have them in 2 separate areas right now, but want to make it so my littles can see use the smartboard. (SO much easier than all the paper charts) but I'm not sure exactly how to do it so that the big kids aren't all congregated to the back of the room. (I hate all the sliding chairs!)<br /><br />Gwenn in FloridaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177754758509240000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730939748391575394.post-40997157911047216322013-09-07T16:02:21.521-05:002013-09-07T16:02:21.521-05:00Your room looks amazing yet again!

Thanks Lauri! Actually I grew up in Marquand...Aw! Thanks Lauri! Actually I grew up in Marquand. Do you know where that is? I went to college in St. Louis and then lived in Farmington, MO for nearly 12 years. Many HUGE things happened in my life in the spring of )2011. I found out that eventhough I had been told it was not possible, I was pregnant. My son was 12 at the time (a teenager and a toddler! Oh my!) and the pregnancy and some other drama at the time brought about a move to Fredericktown, where my husband pastors. The elementary position at Greenville came open (the woman before me had been here for maybe 30 years or so). Geographically it was a shorter drive than I had been making, the parsonage was free and I would be closer to family to help when the baby came. VOILA! God blessed in every single step of this totally new world.<br /><br />I am so thankful to work with the amazing staff at Greenville. Genuinely NICE people. Seriously. They take care of each other and do things because "that's the way things should be done". They put kids first and have been SO supportive of my whacky music ways. I am very happy to be a part of this team!Tracy Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956326480720210937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730939748391575394.post-16177524911492709842013-08-17T15:42:40.173-05:002013-08-17T15:42:40.173-05:00Mrs. King,

The thing is, I have been admiring your ideas, and adding them to my own ideas, but somehow I missed until now that you are in<br />GREENVILLE, MO!!!! I was born and raised in Poplar Bluff. I am so thrilled that such a creative and wonderful teacher is in Greenville-what a blessing for the community!!! Please write me back, as I would love to hear more about how you landed there, and of your story.
