In other news...I know that several of you have contacted me looking for my Birdies and Buntings & Camping Cuties Daily 5 sets. I'm currently working on updating them to meet "guidelines". I will have them re-posted soon. I hope everyone is having a restful summer!! Up next for me grade level shirts and a little Florida sunshine! Giggles!!!!
love your room. It's gorgeous. I'm totally inspired to make some of my own canvas prints. For my bachelorette party we painted our own pictures and I have some canvases left. This would be the perfect thing to do. Thanks for inspiration.

Learning Is Something to Treasure
Love the Fancy Words. Where did you get the boa to go around the black paper?
ReplyDeleteLove love love it! I've been trying to think of a behavior chart. I'm guessing that they all start on ready to learn and can move up or down? You're so creative! I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Did I tell you that I love your owl theme! LOVE IT!!! It is our classroom theme too!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! We have to keep our rooms uniform and can't add our own furniture. I want a bright a colorful room like this! You're so lucky!

What kind of paper did you use? I was thinking it was butcher paper but I can't find that color brown. I wonder if bulletin board paper would work.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog cruising owl decor on Pinterest. Neon polka dots and owls is the name of my game this year too! LOVE your room!!

I'm sure you've already received these awards, but just in case you havent, I'm passing along the Versatile blogger and One Lovely Blog awards to you! :) I'll be linking to your blog from mine!
ReplyDeleteI just love your classroom and all the owls!! I'm doing an owl theme in my classroom this year, so I'm looking for lots of cute ideas! Of course, I already bought both of your owl themed writing sets and LOVE them! Can't wait to use them!!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a new school next fall and I have been designing my classroom since last winter and I can't believe how similar our tastes are! I am doing polka dots and owls in turquoise, bright pink, lime green, orange and yellow! I am so excited to get in the room and start decorating. I love all your cute owl designs and found several great things to compliment my room from you TPT store. I am so excited!! Thanks for sharing!!!! =)
ReplyDeleteLooove it!!! How did you make and attach the tree?
ReplyDeleteHi! I've awarded you the Versatile Blogger award! Head on over to my blog, Trendy Tech Tips, to accept it! :)

Papers, Pencils and Books, Oh My!
I just have to say that I LOVE your site. I am a former 1st grade teacher and I just love your ideas. As I was searching the web...I found this cute pillow pattern. I think it would be super easy to just add some owls to a couple of your reading pillows...just an idea.
ReplyDeletehttp://thecraftingfiend.blogspot.com/2011/06/owl-pillow-with-tutorial-and-pattern.html
Awww...you all are the best bucket fillers!!
ReplyDeleteThe tree wasn't hard at all! Our lounge is stocked with bulletin board paper in several colors so I just grabbed the roll of brown and my stapler. I twisted the sections to the sizes that I needed and stapled any flat parts to the wall stapling in the shape that I wanted.
For my fancy words board, I have collected pink boa from both Hobby Lobby and Michaels depending on which has a coupon or sale.
If you're interested in the behvior chart, make sure that you follow the link to 3rd Grade's a Hoot she has linked a set of instructions for this particular chart. This will be my first year to use this system where students can move both up and down. Students begin the day on Ready To Learn.
The owls on the tree are clipart that are enlarged, printed, laminated, and cut out to add to the branches.
@Rachael - Very cute!! I love it. Thanks.
Happy decorating everyone! So giggly to have you all here.
Your blog is HEAVEN!!!! Your color scheme is exactly what I was thinking! A few questions. Did you print everything out on cardstock (owls, behavior chart, etc) or any special kind of paper. Just making sure so that I get the vibrant colors that you have. Also the owls from JW Illustrations, did you purchase the Hoot! Hoot!? Just want to make sure I purchase the right thing first!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Your room looks amazing and your first graders are going to LOVE IT!
You have the most beautiful classroom I have ever seen! Absolutely gorgeous! I just found your blog and I'm your newest follower. I can't wait to read your future posts and the ideas that you share. Good luck this school year!
ReplyDeleteI love,love,love your classroom library! I want to be a student in your classroom! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteHey! I plan on using the clip chart system this year as well. I printed the same one you did and am trying to figure out how to notify parents because the colors are the same. Have you figured anything out yet? Love your classroom;)
ReplyDeleteYour room is so cute and fun! May I ask where you got the shelves under your word wall? I've been looking for some everywhere that will fit under my word wall! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey there...just couldn't leave your blog without stopping by and saying how much I'm in love with what I've seen of your room...its fabulous!

Would love to know where your little couch came from. It looks like it's child sized and exactly what I'm looking for for my preschool classroom (which, incidently, is owl themed!)
