Can I please teach now?
Your room looks fabulous! I missed something. Are you teaching at your mom's former school? I had to laugh at your ketchup bottle. I made a similar one last year, because my students would always laugh when I said "catch-up" day. I am nowhere NEAR ready, but I have a couple more weeks.
ReplyDeleteYour room looks awesome! I am so envious. My stuff is in 3 locations right now: 1/3 in my new room, 1/3 at home, and 1/3 still in my old room AND school starts Tuesday! Panicing here! Congrats on your room though. Excellent learning environment. I really like the screamer 's chair.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.
ReplyDeleteScreamers corner. I laughed! ;)
Looks good! :) I love the Eric Carle dot border, it's on my wish list for this year.
ReplyDeleteYour room looks great! I bought the same Eric Carle trim this summer at Barnes and Noble! I love it! Didn't see the animals though. :)
ReplyDeleteRoom is looking good! I have the same tables (for the kids). Just got them last year and I was shocked that basically the rest of the teaching staff is following my idea and replacing their rectangle tables and desks for the flower shape. I ordered 6. One in each color. For some ridiculous reason, I still want to decorate above the table, but I really don't need to. I think I can recommend these tables to other art teachers, but I wouldn't order stools if I did it all over again. This year I need to teach them how to sit on them without falling off. I am not even sure how to do that if that isn't obvious to a person! - Erica
ReplyDeleteI love your behavior game you found from pinterest. I may have to use that in my room. I start setting up my room in just over a week and I love some of the things you have done in your room. If I use any of your ideas I will make sure to link to you from my new blog: http://theartapron.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHi there! Where did you get your large Eric Carle animals for your standards? I love them!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see those adorable Kohl's Cares Eric Carle books :D
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the tour. I had to laugh at the screamer's chair because my principal would NEVER let me do that as much as I want to! It also amazed me to see chalboards in your artroom. Your district can afford smartboards but not whiteboards? Weird! Have an awesome year and I look forward to your posts.
ReplyDelete:)Pat
Angie, Yes I am teaching at the school my mom started at. It is also where I went to Kindergarten!
ReplyDeleteMs. Cummings, I couldn't imagine putting together 3 art rooms! You go girl! You're my hero.
Erica, I wish we could decorate above the tables... :( Fire hazard.
Becky Lynn, use as many ideas as you want. Let me know when you post it.
Sarah, Barnes and Noble had eric Carle animals and the boarder game with it.
Pat, We do have whiteboards. You had to request them about a year or so ago. This is my first year at this school so I did request one. I'm making do with the chalk board. I hate the sound when I draw though.... The rolling easel in my room is a dry erase board. I've been using it A LOT!
I have a question... You have a Kinder teacher called Plunket. My kinder teacher was Mrs. Plunket but I grew up on Long Island... Could this be any relation???? She was such a nice teacher! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kristin,
ReplyDeleteI'd say no relation. This Plunkett used to be a Lott. But I'll ask her.
