Room Update

Since I had no motivation to work on my long list of lesson redo's today, I ended up going into my classroom for the 3rd time this summer.  I wanted to try and get done more before the 20th since that week we will be bogged down with meetings and so forth.  I had quite a successful day.  I have some pictures to share, but please remember I am not done by any means.  And if there are any minor messes or supplies in the pictures please ignore!

This is part of a wall in my classroom.  It was a chalkboard, but I decided I didn't need two walls of chalkboards.  I used black fadeless paper (so that it will last all year), hot glue, and duct tape.  

The alphabet letters I created and printed on cardstock. (They are in my TPT Shop for free!)  

This is my wonderful Boggle board, Pinterest inspired.  Last year, I did a Boggle every Friday as morning work.  I didn't like how I did it because I had to change the letters on the worksheet every week.  With this new design, I can have my wonderful helpers switch the letters out!

This is my tree inspired by Melanie over at Schoolgirl Style.  I used less than 2 rolls of brown wrapping paper from Dollar Tree.  The monkeys I created at the end of the school year when I was in a creative mood :)

 

This is how I will show how each of my students are getting home.  On each arrow I listed every way a child could go home.  I haven't exactly decided where I will put the student's names but I am sure it will come to me eventually!

The picture above and below are the backs of my bookshelves in my library.  I wanted to make my library a safari truck.  I would have shown a picture of the full library to give you a better understanding, but my new (slightly used) animal print carpet badly needs to be vacuumed.  So I will post additional pictures in the near future!
