Giveaway week 4 - Classroom Decor & Word Walls

Welcome to week 4 of giveaways.  Are you having as much fun as I am?! Today we are going to talk about classroom décor.  You might remember my post about pinterest and how I’ve never had a “theme” in my classroom before… I think that is partially because I was unaware that these themed classrooms even existed.  And while I am not in any way opposed to a cute classroom theme, I tend to put my energy and efforts into other things. I’ve already found a lot of cute things I would like to do in my classroom, but I’m already thinking “maybe next year” LOL!  Summer is almost over and I’m starting to enter panic mode, but I have yet to step foot in my classroom… this has got to be a world record for me to stay away from school for two full months!!  Two years ago I moved into a BRAND NEW school, and had only 5 days to set up and get things ready to welcome my little 2nd graders to school.  If you want to see crazy, you should’ve seen me that week!  I recruited every friend and family member I could find, and was at school most nights until midnight.  Here’s a few pictures from 2 years ago as I was getting ready to start off my new year.  As you can see, it’s nothing glamorous… I’m fairly certain that I will not see these pics popping up on pinterest with comments about recreating this in their own classrooms.  But that’s okay… it works for me and that’s all that really matters. 
 
 

Today’s giveaways will help you get your classroom all decked out in style.  All you have to do is hit the print button and you’re ready to go!  Your classroom will be stylish in no time :)
