Camping Theme
By Sam5

I made my birthday chart last night. Remember my studnets are older and I am going more for a northwoods adventure theme. I used print shop and did a pine background(called winter pine) and then made wooden framed signs for
each month with a little holiday decoration on them- example- Jan.- snowman. Then I just labeled it Happy Birthday! The banner is only 2 1/2 sheets long which is just right for my wall space limited room. I showed it to my teacher friend this morning. She thought it looked good without being too "cute."

I am working on my math posters now. Mine are from the teacher before me

which I really appreciated she made and left for me to use. I used them for the last four years. However, they are at least five years old and looking pretty ugly. We are allowed to leave math information up for state testing as long as it is part of our room for the year. So of course, we have to have lots of displays. I decided to go with "Climb the Math Mountain." I made a border on a print shop sign page that looks like the outline of a rock. I am going to run a bunch off on grey cardstock, print the math information on them, and laminate them. Then when I put them up for the year I am going to build a "mountain" with them above my dry erase board. My friend said she would help me draw a mountain climber.

I am thinking the flashlights from Target might be fun to put in a buddy reading station. The kids could go under the table to read together. Hmmm maybe we could give it a cave name.
