This is the introduction post in a 3 part series that will document my decision to switch classrooms in order to be closer to my fellow first grade teammates (after 5 years in the same room)! That’s five years spent perfecting things, but also five years to accumulate things and two rounds of maternity leave–the most recent being the final quarter of this past year. So, that being said, when the opportunity presented itself, I figured there was no better time! I am seizing this opportunity to completely start fresh…And that means a complete overhaul! It’s not that I didn’t love my classroom set up before. I did. But I always see these great classroom-reveal posts of awesomely cute rooms, and have always been secretly jealous!
For a point of reference, here’s what my old room looked like…
I will be using the rug and chair pockets in my new room. I also intend to use a similar table arrangement. We aren’t allowed to cover the wall with butcher paper, so I really hope I can move this blue bulletin board over as well!We have adopted a new math curriculum, so I will have to retire my current calendar corner in favor of the Bridge’s Number Corner…I still plan on finding a way to add a little primary flair to it though!
…And here are my ideas…
I really wanted to make something unique for my classroom, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money either. The result…this fun classroom decor set that is available for purchase in my TpT store for a much lower price than it would cost to buy each of these individually! Print them on card stock or laminate to make more durable!
Here’s a peek at the bundle:
I plan to use these for my word wall.Page 1 of 2 classroom supply labels.
This days in school tracker is included in my decor bundle, but also available for purchase separately (click image to view product).I have used a similar flower clock to help my students learn to use an analog clock, but I really wanted one that complemented my theme. This is also available for purchase in my TpT store (just click the image to link to the product page).Whilst waiting for my sister to pick me up after my car died at Rite Aid, I happened upon their dollar days sale and snagged these goodies!I found these lanterns on Amazon that I think will make a great addition! Bonus- they have LED lights in them!
So there you have it folks! I will be Dollar Tree-ing and Target-ing it up after I can get into my room. I’m excited and terrified to enter my new room when the school reopens in August. I will post my next installment at that time!
