Halloween Decorations for the Classroom
I’m re-posting this from last year because these decorations have saved me so much time and energy, I hope you love them as much as I do! I love to change up my decorations at home to go with the seasons, but I’ve never really done it at school, mostly because I can’t afford to buy decorations for home and school – and because I don’t have a place to store those decorations. BUT that’s all about to change. I really wanted to do something cute for Halloween, so I created a super cute set of matching classroom decorations – bunting for the wall, cupcake toppers (or stickers), treat bag toppers, name tags,…

DIY Classroom Decorations for Fall
If you’re anything like me, your classroom probably feels like home, you certainly spend enough time there! There a few ways that I make my classroom my own, and one of those strategies is decorating the classroom for each season – just like I do at home. I’ve come up with some easy ways to keep this seasonal decor within my budget. Instead of decorating for each holiday throughout the year, I stick to the four seasons, this means I need fewer decorations, and less space to store my decorations because they stay out longer. I also try to use any natural decor that I can – for autumn pumpkins…

Friday Freebie – Classroom Labels
Happy Friday! When I looked at the calendar at the beginning of the week, I was in shock. The middle of February already?! I’m itching for spring, and it’s coming quickly (thank goodness). If you’re anything like me, you’re ready to freshen things up a bit, so I’ve got the perfect freebie for you. I recently revamped my classroom label freebie. It was one of the first sets that I ever added to my Teachers Pay Teachers Store, and it needed an upgrade. I’m planning on re-labeling my whole classroom (there’s just something about new labels that gets me excited, and I know I’m not the only one!), so go…

Classroom Decorations for the Holidays
I love to decorate for the holidays, and this includes the classroom, but I definitely don’t have room in my budget to buy extra holiday decorations for the classroom. Thank goodness for printables! The easiest way to add a little holiday pizzazz to the classroom, without braking the bank, is to print some great holiday quotes and pop them into cheap frames. Not only is the a quick solution, but this artwork can be be changed seasonally, making the frames worth the investment. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite images from Pinterest to share with you!

BUT that’s all about to change. I really wanted to do something cute for Halloween, so I created a super cute set of matching classroom decorations – bunting for the wall, cupcake toppers (or stickers), treat bag toppers, name tags, a door decoration, and instructions for a class Halloween wreath. Not only will my classroom look cute, but for the first time ever, I…

Fine motor skills – folding paper pinwheels
Our school is going to be in a local parade in a couple of weeks, so during free play I’ve been working on a couple of projects for our float, today I was folding paper pinwheels, and the kids wanted to help. After a quick folding lesson, they were of, and they did amazingly well. This is a great activity for practicing fine motor skills, so I thought I’d share a quick tutorial. The key to making these with young children is to be accepting of imperfection, they can still work even if the accordion folds are not straight or even. 1. Start with a sheet of paper. We used…
