However, it's summer. And I don't have any new adorable stories. So I'm moving to a more shallow reason why I teach...the creative outlet. So I decided to show some pictures of my latest classroom theme (this will be my 4th year with the same theme)...Dr. Seuss. I haven't finished my room for this year (HA! I barely started!! Eeek!), but I'll give a few snapshots of my room over the past three years. While I came up with some of the ideas myself, most are Pinterest inspired or straight up Pinterest copycats. I'll do my best to give shouts out to the things that I cannot take ownership of.
So, without further adieu, here's my classroom!
The inside of my door...cute Cat in the hat white board for memos (gift from a friend) and our "Ready for the Hall" chant! |
Ignore the ugly unpeeled tape. I've since cleaned that up! But my bathrooms are labeled "Who Girls" and "Who Boys" :) |
I bought this alphabet frieze from a book store, laminated them, and turned them into my wall alphabet! |
My set up the first year I did Dr. Seuss. |
This sign is by the water fountain. I made it using Google images and my Dr. Seuss font. |
Library Center (This year I have RED tubs so they'll look better with the Seuss stuff!) |
"Word Jail" for those words that break the phonetic rules we study. The kiddos LOVE putting words in jail! We also LOVE to make the siren noise. |
An idea I got from Pinterest...framed a class list and used it all year for checklists: who brought field trip money, who turned in forms, etc. |
I used these rubbery placemats at the beginning of the year to mark where they sat at the carpet. |
I adapted this from a pin I saw on Pinterest. I turned a "Lazy Susan" into a prize wheel. |
Where they get their "mail" every afternoon (graded papers, notes, etc.) |
Adorable clock a colleague gave me! :) |
Another Pinterest idea...clothespin "How We Get Home" chart. I made the Seuss labels on the computer. |
I label my centers with Dr. Seuss themed labels (as seen in my post about my PowerPoint for literacy centers). |
Pinterest steal..using Germ-X as the bathroom passes. I started this last year and they lasted all year! Brilliant! |
I hope you enjoyed the glimpse into my Dr. Seuss classrooms from years past. Soon (hopefully!) I'll be through with this year's and I'll post any updates at a later date. I hope the beginning of your week has been off to a great start, and I pray the remaining few days are even more blessed! And I'll end on this...THANK GOODNESS FOR PINTEREST! Can I get an 'amen!?'
