It was a week of accomplishment for me! First, I finished a painting for the baby of a close friend:
Next, I created a lot of various documents to use in my school's Open House! Click on the picture below to see the packet (36 pages)-- PLUS it comes with zebra homework folder labels (quite a steal!)
Finally, I have spent the last few weeks in my classroom setting it up for a new year! This year our school-wide theme was jungle. We all took it as "Jungle/Safari" theme. It's a jungle safari (or so I tell my husband when he argues with me about the animals in a jungle vs. a safari)!
Here are some pics of my room! First, my lovely mother sewed me some curtains to cover shelving and valences for the tops of my windows:
 |
These lovely curtains hide a lot of storage items! |
Next, I painted 2 of my bookshelves. One I made completely black, then I glued dotted ribbon to the edge. Another I just painted over a blue color-- so now it's black and yellow (instead of blue and yellow):
 |
It's really hard to get a shot since it's by the bright window! |
 |
Plus my desk prevents me from backing up too far! |
 |
Long bookshelf-- now black and yellow! |
The next thing I did was take leftover fabric and cover my desk!
Then I couldn't find a black tablecloth for my long table-- so I am using a bed sheet instead (and it was actually cheaper too!). I glued a ribbon around the edge of it:
Now for some jungle decor!
 |
My corner tree-- jungle leaves from Cricut machine :) |
 |
This is the board where my kids track their AR points-- they write the scores on little laminated safari hats and change them every time the score goes up |
 |
Jungle Jobs |
 |
Vines from Hobby Lobby (ceiling) and monkeys from Cricut |
 |
Obviously I need an updated name plate :) |
 |
Outside door |
 |
Tree outside my door (I am adding more leaves soon) |
 |
Hallway bulletin board (with student names) |
 |
Clothespin animals in the hallway for hanging up work! |
And there you have it-- I don't feel like I got very into the theme this year... maybe next time!

It all looks very theme-ish to me! Your class looks colorful and fun. Can I time-warp back and come join?
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! I want to be in your class.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your rules of the jungle rule signs and animal clothes pins?
