My classroom, all ready for the first day.



Pennant from Wal Mart, wrapping paper to cover bulletin boards from Wal Mart.  I made the letters using Astro-Brite paper, from Wal Mart and 'KG Wake Me Up' font.


More wrapping paper from Wal Mart; paper fans from Party City.


I used the Astro Brite card stock for this banner I made myself, and 'MTF Jumpin' Jack' font.  Ribbon from Wal Mart.


View from doorway coming in.


New Super Improver Team poster.  It starts out with the name cards and levels facing the wall, so you can do a big dramatic presentation of it later in the first week.  I brightened it up this year, using Astro-brite paper, lots of different fonts on the levels, and 'KG Defying Gravity' font for the title bar.  Wal Mart wrapping paper.


5 Class Rules are facing backwards, to make more of an impact as the students learn them.


Reading corner, equipped with comfy van seats and bead curtain.





My Back to School theme was 'Happy New Year'.  The decorations were from a New Year's Eve party my daughter had.  She was happy the '2016' paraphernalia could be used again.  All from Party City.   All the children received a string of beads and a horn blower (from the Dollar Store).  As I met them outside, we went and gathered in the picnic shelter, so the 'honking' was not in the school.  :)  It was a great way for them to expel some nervous energy right from the get go.








My desk area.  Note the beautiful lunch bag, from 31, a parent gave me at the end of last year.  And, my New Year headband.  :)
