Here are a few of my Lakeshore items. I got the big set of magnetic lowercase letters, and a small pack of uppercase and then added those to the bigger set. I also got letter stamps in upper and lowercase letters and wikki stix. These will all be for Daily 5 word work activities. For math work stations I got unifix cubes and pattern blocks. I got a great number line too that goes from -20 to 100. I already hung it up though!
I got a few more things done in my classroom too. My big reveal when it's finished isn't going to be much of a surprise! I'm so excited I want to share my progress each day!
I finished the tree in the library area. (I actually finished it last week!)
I also finished the tree in my group/floor area and added a cute little picket fence! You can see where I hung the number line on the right hand side. Above it says "Mrs. Zuniga's Wise Owls." I'm going to put owls underneath that with the student's names on them.
I'm still working on the bulletin board above the sink, but I added to it today. It still needs owls. I've been struggling with whether to use the owls that match my nameplates and calendar, etc. or the colorful owls from Carson-Dellosa. I think Carson-Dellosa is going to win on this one! I need to add some other colors into my room and they are so stinkin' cute I can hardly stand it! I may even ditch my nameplates and buy some of theirs - shhh, don't tell :-)
That yellow edge on the sink is driving me crazy, I need to figure out a way to cover it up!
Well, that's all for now! I have a ton of DIY projects that I'm going to subject my family to while I'm visiting. I'll be sure to post :-)
you could always use duck tape to cover the yellow :) Duck tape solves all problems lol
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thank you!

Yay! Thanks for following me! I changed schools and positions, so started my room much earlier than I normally do! When do you go back to school?
DeleteOMGosh, I love that fence...where did you get it? I do a garden theme and I'm adding birds this year.

Deniece,
ReplyDeleteI got it at a teacher supply store in my area. It's made by Trend Enterprises http://www.trendenterprises.com/home.cfm and it comes with some life-like animals, including birds! I hope that helps :-)
