    Camping Themed Classroom

    July 3, 2020 /

    (Disclosure: Some of links below are affiliate links, which means that at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.) Every summer I would spend hours perusing pinterest for the perfect classroom theme for the school year. So different choices, from llamas to cacti and even farmhouse! (I’m not sure that a Chip and Joanna Gaines shiplap classroom is particularly inspiring for students, but then again, each to their own!) But the themes I love are the ones that have legs and can be revisited year after year. And the decor that I always come back to is camping. Here…

    (Disclosure: Some of links below are affiliate links, which means that at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.) As I write this, I know it’s not May, but I want to help you strike something off your list that will creep up on you in a couple of months: Do you find yourself frantically pulling out your hair when you realize that it is Mother’s Day and your students haven’t grown a plant, written on a shrinky dink or made a bracelet/magnet/picture frame for their moms? Before you reach for the yarn and the every trusty box of…

    How to Make Flowers for Your Bulletin Board

    February 8, 2019 /

    I had seen these beautiful flowers on my Instagram feed from Pinterest perfect classrooms and admired them from afar, wondering where they came from. After some research I found that creative teachers were making them and not one to be outdone on a craft I set out to try them out myself. And lo and behold, they are not too difficult. I enjoyed making them far more than I did these paper fan wheels, and I think they would look amazing with the bulletin board lettering you can make from PowerPoint without a Cricut! (Disclosure: Some of links below are affiliate links, which means that at no additional cost to…
