I'm not ready for a classroom reveal yet...there are still several things that I would like to get done first, but everyone that comes in says that my room looks the best that it has ever looked. I have to say that I am pretty proud of it myself. If I can just get the rest of it done, life will be great!
There was a huge discussion the other day on how points-of-view differ in regard to blogging about materials that have been developed and sold on Teachers Pay Teachers. Many readers say they are tired of bloggers 'hawking' their sell-ables. I try not to advertise my things too much....but there comes a time when you are so excited about things that you almost can't help yourself. This is going to be one of those moments...I have to share my tie dyed creations with you because they are catching the eyes of all of my teacher-friends.
First off, I have my door decorations! I wanted something positive to look at as we go in and out the door. Teachers were admiring it all day long and I had requests to do it with different patterns and borders!
Then, I have my transportation organizer. Take a look at my van driver. Every time I look at him I just crack up. I plan on having students names on clothespins and will just 'pin' them to their appropriate way home. I also have a car, bus, a school for after care, and a pedestrian sign for walkers.
I also have my classroom pack....it has just about everything imaginable in it. It took forever to make it! The alphabet is made so that the letters can be taped together and laminated.
Here is a set of my behavior punch cards. Whenever a student gets caught doing something outstanding, they get a punch. Once their card has 10 punches, they immediately go to the treasure box!
I love these pennants! I also have them with just the lower or upper case letter in case someone wants to make a sign!
I also have my hallway tags that I will use to 'present' individual student work. I have hung laminated black construction paper in the hallway and will be adding clothespins so that students can hang out their work. Each student will have a name tag like this under their black construction paper.
I also have my birthday display which is ultra simple, but very cute. For some reason I went with a lot of circles this year...I guess because I feel like I have come 'full circle' this year! By the way, all of the circles are the same side. This just happens to be the cover for my birthday circles and I made the one in the center bigger so it could act as a title!
Hope you have enjoyed getting a glimpse of all of these!! I have had the best time making these and now....seeing them up in my room....I can't help smiling every time I walk through the door!
