Clip art and classroom pictures

Happy Saturday!  I stayed up REALLY late last night!  Usually I am in bed by 9pm, however, last night I discovered how to create my own clip art.  Yay! So, I stayed up until 4am creating clip art to use in my worksheets for school.  So excited to try them out.  Of course, I may use my kids for practice this weekend, just to make sure they work...  haha

Now that I am up and awake, I have decided to share some pictures of my classroom.  They are the dreaded before and after pictures.  I spent a lot of time trying to paint and reinvent the classroom before school started.  I really like the results.  It pleases me.  This will also give me a change to see how to actually add pictures on to this thing.  Especially since I haven't figured anything else out just yet...  Gotta start somewhere!

 

 



 

So those are two pictures from my classroom last year.  I like the room, but I thought that a Kindergarten classroom should be more colorful, bright, and happy. 

 

I LOVE my bright yellow wall!  Obviously, this is before I set up the classroom! 

 

 

I saw this idea on Pinterest.  Turning the side of a file cabinet into a magnetic board is SUCH a good idea!  I think I got the alphabet cards from TpT, but I boardered them with animal print card stock.  Super cute.

 

 

This is my reading area.  My mom bought me the red shag carpet.  My mom rocks!

 

 

These drawers were dark green and chipped last year.  I gave them a make over.

 

 

I saw this idea on Pinterest also.  It's a great dismissal chart and so helpful.

 



 

This is my red door.  My mom's idea.  She likes red.  My kids love the door too.  Every time they draw a picture of the classroom, they include the door!  lol  On the sides of the picture you can see my green math self and one of the red cubbies for the students.  These pieces of furniture also received a make over before school started.  I was a painting champion!!

 

 

Well I am off to complete more work!  Enjoy the weekend!
