Welcome back!! A lot has happened since my last post! My husband and I welcomed our sweet baby boy into the world on June 29, 2016. He was 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 inches long, and I may be biased but he is the world's cutest and best baby ever. To put it simply, he has changed our world forever.
Classroom Reveal 2016
So I am still on maternity leave for one more precious week. I went back to work part time the week before started to get my classroom ready for my substitute. I thought I'd share a sneak peek with everyone! Here it goes…
Welcome to Camp Sullins
One of my best friends and coworkers suggested that we do a camping theme this year outside our classrooms. I have to say it turned out AMAZING! Here's a peek at our little camping corner:
Inside Our Classroom
I learned a little trick for my Birthdays board last year. Instead of having students hold signs with their number on it (which can get a little chaotic), I simply print Avery 5160 mailing labels with their numbers on it. I can the labels and stick them to the picture. MUCH EASIER and still looks really cute.
The “Boo-Boo Basket” is a new addition this year that I saw on Pinterest and fell in love with the idea!! I really liked it would be easy for substitute teachers to find during your typical “I need a bandaid crisis”.
My “Write On!” wall is also new this year! I got the idea from Easy Teaching Tools. She provides a great tutorial on how she made her wall. It was super easy and the best part is that you can simply take the folder off of the wall at the end of the year and the students' writing portfolios are already made!! TEACHER WIN!
I made these word wall cards last year and absolutely LOVE them. I made them to match my wooden/rustic theme (I'm a fixer upper fanatic, if they had shiplap themed teacher materials I would be all over that). I recently posted them in my TPT store at the request of a fellow teacher.
You can get them {here}.
That's all for now. I hope everyone has an amazing school year full of fun, laughter and lots of LOVE!
