Welcome to Our Garden

Here are a few more pictures of my garden themed classroom. I love the way the pennants came out. Overall the room is colorful and inviting... Mission accomplished! Our curriculum night is in a few weeks and I really want to showcase the students' work.

View of the door from the hall

I loved making this easy reversible valance.  The other side is striped with a polka dot boarder. The pennants on the door read "Welcome to Our Garden." The pennants were cut by hand with pinking shears and sewn to a thin red ribbon. The letters were cut with the Cricut using black fabric and heat and bond.

Math Display using scrapbook paper

I love this display for math work. This display is similar to the one inside my room. I used my old scrapbook paper. It was laminated and hot glued to the wall. The title was accented by the students. They wrote different math related pictures.

Blooming Work display with timeline projects

This board is really the star of my displays. I am currently displaying student created timelines.

A.R. Goal Chart

This chart will be used to track the students' AR progress. I will label the flowers different percents. As students progress, they can move their name to the next flower.

Watch Us Grow

I am really excited about this school year. I have a great group of students who are ready to bloom.  This is the first full week of school and my room is fully decorated. Next week I'll post some pictures of my Common Core bulletin board and student work displays.

Curriculum Night will be here before I know it... I think I'll send some Save the Date cards to increase attendance. Last year my QR code water bottles were popular with the parents that attended.  A quick round of "Are You Smarter than a 2nd Grader" would be fun! What fun things do you do for Curriculum Night?

Pennants and Pom-Poms

 

Here are a few updated pictures of my classroom. This year I'm using a Garden Theme. I really love the way it's coming together.

Back Bulletin Board Heading

Reversible valance and welcome pennant

I plan to add more pennants to the door. Maybe something like, "Welcome to Our Garden!"

Hallway Decor

 I think these flowers are adorable. They compliment my table signs.

Door and hallway bulletin board

The pennants are my favorite part! What's your classroom theme?

Back to School!

It's that time again! My summer break is quickly coming to an end. I did get a chance to start on my classroom decorations and get the room back in order. I'm really excited about my new theme. This year's theme will be "Watch Us Grow in Mrs. Phyall's Garden!"
Here are a few pictures of my progress so far:

This is my reversible valance.

Here is the view from the door.

Table signs

Hallway (I still need to add stems to the flowers.)

The walls and bulletin board are pretty bare. I think I will cut some fun letters using the Cricut! I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

Fun with Felt

Here is an adorable butterfly pillow. This pillow was made with felt butterflies which were sewn on fabric and made into a pillow. I love this idea because you can cut out any shape and add it to a pillow.

Just 4 the Smiles

The inspiration for this wreath came from an Abbey Lane Just 4 Fun pattern book. This is the Just 4 the Smiles wreath, but don't let the name fool you. I was NOT smiling while sewing this summer wreath and I have about 3 battle wounds to prove it. My last wreath was the Christmas bulb wreath, which was so quick and easy. This beauty was a bit different, she took time and patience!

Just 4 the Smiles

Overall, I am very pleased with the finished product. Isn't she pretty?!? After my wounds heal, I'm making the Just for the Pop wreath. It's an adorable ruffled flag with buttons.
What wreaths have you made lately?
