Hi
everyone!
Now that
I am a little more caught up on sleep after the first week of school, I want to
show you more of my Travel-Themed classroom!
I got these colored parasols from Goodwill- brand new!- and the small trunks in the corner are from an antique shop in the Texas Hill Country! I'm just a little proud of both these finds!
Over the summer I started collecting maps of all kinds and used some as backgrounds on my little shelves. I think its the details that make a room! I stuck them on with sticky tack so I can easily change them out (if I change my theme again).
These suitcase and passport labels are from my World Travel Theme Pack. I use the "suitcases" as name tags and the "passports" number the hooks so my kids know which hook belongs to them.
I covered boxes with crumpled brown paper to look like leather suitcases. I just use them as display above my cubbies. I will use the laminated butcher paper transportation posters to display academic vocabulary words.
The Alphabet Pennant is also from my World Travel Theme Pack.
The city signs and clocks are from my Pack as well. I attached a cardstock ring to the back of the clocks to make them pop from the wall.
Again, I love details! I printed out a couple different compass roses off the internet and put them in various sized embroidery hoops as sun catchers. The mini hot air balloons are from a tutorial in my Pack.
In the past I've had a hard time finding places to display the anchor charts I make with my class so this year I decided to give myself a whole wall! And of course, I added a Dr. Seuss quote to the hot air balloon.
Up-close of my number sign.
Whenever we leave the room, my Location Leader moves the clip to the appropriate box.
This behavior chart is travel themed and uses some of the language from The 7 Habits of Happy Kids!
A bonus, non-travel themed area: My Birthday Chart! In the past, I've struggled with having all the goodies ready to go for my kids on their birthday. This year they are all packed and ready to go! I can just take the child's bag down and hand it to the them!
It was a long post but I wanted to share everything! I hope school started/is starting well!
