As you can see from the previous post we were allowed back into our classrooms early this summer. It was very rare. My campus is usually the last one on the cleaning/floor tour for the district. This summer we were moved to first! Some of my teacher besties and I totally took advantage! Laptops in tow, a Cherry Dr. Pepper in hand, and lots of giggles along the way we spent multiple days prepping our spaces. We had a great time helping each other out and sharing ideas.
One of my most re-pinned classroom pictures on Pinterest is my leveled library from the Where It All Goes Down Post from last summer. The boxes are from Really Good Stuff (Wow my classroom has changed a bit since then!)...
On to my point...
One of my teammates has a jungle themed room and asked if I could make leveled labels to match her theme and color scheme. I was so excited to see how they turned out and I LOVE them! (The white buckets are ice buckets from Walmart!)
You can check them out in my Teachers Pay Teachers store!

@Christina - My leveled buckets are organized by DRA levels. That's the assessment that we use to find students independent reading levels.
ReplyDelete@Kim - Yes! Pirate themed writing is now posted in my TPT store and 3rd Grade's a Hoot is working on a decorative set for our joint give-a-way! Stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteGreat book box idea. I already ordered those (exact same) fun colored ones from Really Good Stuff for my classroom. I might get some Walmart ice buckets as back-ups though!

You Might Be a First Grader….
I also have ice buckets for book bins in my classroom. How do you keep them from falling over from heavy books and journals?
ReplyDeleteWhere in Walmart? What section? Was it a summer item?
