Student book boxes (which they use during independent and peer reading activities).
Our plentiful classroom library, organized by genres, authors, and series.
My students recently finished a unit on the popular children's story "Flat Stanley." The culminating activity was designing their own flat character and sending it to a friend or family member living in another state. This is the bulletin board we are using to track where our characters have traveled!
This area of the room is used for displaying student work. The area to the left is used as a sort of mailbox for sending positive messages to one another.

This "Show what you know!" board is used as a type of formative assessment and as a way to communicate with students.
