The start of year 5!

Time flies... It's that time of year when teachers start getting classrooms set up for the next class. This is one of my favorite parts of summer.  It means I get to use my creativity with how I decorate the room.  I am very blessed to work in a school that lets me have freedom.  If there is a color of bulletin board paper I would like to use, my principal will order it for me.  

I have set up my classroom with a Bird Theme this year,  I did a bird theme last year but found so many new things that I wanted to repeat the theme the inspiration of my classroom came from SchoolGirlStyle.com   Next year I will be completely changing everything though to Sock Monkeys.  I'm EXCITED!!!

 Last year I was able to get a new bigger bulletin board for outside my classroom after my previous one fell off the wall when it was really windy.  This way I am able to showcase the students work as well.  

I really liked the BoHo bird Welcome Bulletin Board and wanted to incorporate them into my outside board.

I thought it would be cool to change the trees in my classroom to look more like a tree you would see outside thanks to schoolgirlstyle.

 

 A work in progress
