Halloween Mesh Wreath

Last Halloween, I took a mesh wreath class at Joann's, and this one came out WAY better than the very first one I created. I used two different colors of mesh, plus some Halloween ribbons from Joann's and Michaels. I got the sign and the decorations from Michaels. It goes very nicely with my Halloween themed classroom.

Halloween Word Wall Tree

From cute

Every year, I decorate my classroom for Halloween. I have a word wall tree up in the front of my room. I wanted to change the tree from my usual owl theme, to a more Halloween theme. I used the "fade less" paper that I buy at my local teacher store. I also used a Charlie Brown pumpkin theme border, to make it look more "Halloweeny". I also bought the orange and yellow note cards, at the teacher store. I had some fun with some free Halloween fonts. For the words, I used my Silhouette and Amy Chomas marker holder with a purple Sharpie to create the words that we are studying in Flocabulary

Halloween Themed

Here is a look at some of the rest of my decorations. 

Welcome Back Melinda!

Math is Fun!

I was so happy when one of my colleagues returned from being out for back surgery. My fellow co-teacher, Melinda Castaño, had to be out two weeks for back surgery from one of her car accidents. I put together this cork board to welcome her back. This was a plain cork board I found at an estate sale, and wanted to jazz up. I bought some rulers back in the summer, when they were super cheap, from Staples. I glued the rulers around the board with E6000 glue. My husband used his saw to cut two of the rulers to size. The "Math is Fun" banner was made using some pennants I found at Hobby Lobby and silver stickers. I used buttons and glue dots to make them stick because I didn't want to mess with string. I also used the E6000 glue to attach push pins to some decorative clothespins that I bought at Hobby Lobby. The post-it I grabbed from the Target Dollar spot. The folders and envelopes, I bought at Michaels and used push pins to attach them. I thought the cork board still looked kind of boring, so I attached some of my many washi tapes to make it a little more interesting. (I really need to stop buying washi tape!) Needless to say, she loved it! I am happy to have her back at school, so we can do great work together.
