My Classroom!

The old Classroom...


The "before" of my class.  

This class has been with three different teachers in the last two years. 

It just needs a lot of love and a lot of cleaning before I can bring in the kids. 

It has taken several days to clear things out. 

Now, to the decorating part :-) 

Stay tuned!

My NEW & IMPROVED CLASSROOM!!!



I love my class, I really love the AWNINGS! 


My dear Hubby worked so hard on them. 

He made three: two over the main windows and one for over the mirror in the room. 


They match my "CUBS" theme:) 

Here is one of the awnings closer. More on them in a second...

A side view of the awning. 


Clearly, I teach at a Christian school and am allowed to share my faith throughout my class :)

Some of the tissue flowers I made to help bring some life into the room. 


$1 pack of tissue paper at the Dollar Store, a twist tie and some folding is all it took!


Here are my repurposed Diaper boxes. 


I covered them with scrapbook paper that matched my theme and stuffed them 

full of all the things I will only use for certain lessons. 


Our Weekly Calendar, which is really more for my benefit that the kiddos, is two frames with 

scrapbook paper. 

The shelf in front is on rollers. I roll it over, write out the week with dry erase markers on the glass, 

and whamo- I am organized!


Here is the sink and mirror area I was telling you about. 


We share a bathroom, but each room has their own sink/ water fountain combo. 

The dots just make me happy.

Here is the underside of the awnings. 


They are made of PVC pipe and look a lot like a soccer goal before we put the material over them. 

They cost $10 for the large ones and $8 for the small one! 

The small wooden square you see up in the top corner is just a scrap piece about the size of your 

palm. It is for the two screws that hold the awning to the wall. 

I need to trim off my excess material. Opps.

The adorable "Book Hospital"! I got the label off Pinterest. I will leave a link when I find it.




Outside, in the hall, needed some 'CUB' love! 
(Sorry about the darkness. Weird camera is smarter than me.)


Here is one plate up close. The little flags say the name of a student.
(marked out for internet use, of course)


The other side of the room with my new rocker, 

a redo from Craigslist, thanks to my resourceful husband.
So, what do you think?

This teacher is tuckered. Thanks for looking!

If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm here to help.
