I have been working hard over the past two weeks in my classroom. I really enjoy looking at what everyone makes and posts, but I am thinking that I need to stop looking because it just makes me want to make more, and my classroom will never get finished lol! Anyway, I have lots to share with you this Monday.
I finally finished my wreath for outside my classroom door. I got everything half off at Hobby Lobby! Got to love it!!
I had that ugly brown book case in my classroom, so a friend of mine and I painted it to make it look beautiful. Then I was able to paint the back wall of my library to give it a little more color to make it pop! I absolutely love how my library turned out!
I took my normal looking filing cabinet and covered it with cute fabric and Mod Podge. I am thinking that I might actually paint the filing cabinet later to complete it.
It seems to be one of the "hot" items to make this year! I think it is a great way to keep organized!
I decided to make my drawers a little more colorful. I did some with Mod Podge and it took a while to do, but then I thought.... why not use double stick tape? It made life so much easier! You can't tell that I used it at all! I used double stick tape on the top drawer and Mod Podge on the bottom two. I think they both turned out great, but the tape was much easier to deal with.
This is my new behavior chart. At my school we have a three strikes and you are out policy. I have some magnets with their numbers on them and they will move them down the board, warning, detention, paddling....
This is the outside of my classroom.
So that is what I have been busy doing. I will have more pictures of my classroom coming when I get closer to completing it. I will be so glad when it is finished. We start in two weeks! Where did the summer go????

Everything is so cute! You did a great job!

ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing how much a little bit of paint makes a bookshelf look! It made my room have just a little bit more color in it!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You've been busy! Your projects look great. :) We start back to school (teachers) in 2 1/2 weeks. The old panic meter has reached the top. :)

Hi love love your blog I think I am officially addicted! I was wondering if you enlighten me on the monkey board idea - I am going to use it with my new class and im so excited about it, i have a monkey business display but just need a little help and guidance with how you issued monkey dollars, how many you gave out or did u use a point system etc and if you have any ideas of ways to spend them!! I look forward to hearing your exciting and inspiring ideas!
