My twin teaches second grade and I just HAD to show off her adorable classroom! If you are like me...you LOVE seeing pictures of every classroom you can to get ideas!
Here is her version of the "Fancy Nancy" word wall...So. Cute.
Her Reading Focus Wall
She mod-podged stripes on her filing cabinets...hmmhmm...okay, so I mod-podged them for her,
but you know...still very cute!
Her Rock Star AR Board...she will add stars above their names when they earn AR points...
Her rug area and HUGE classroom library...
The back view of her classroom...her math focus wall is on the left...
Cute owl door....I copied her!
Where she displays student work...LOVE the color scheme
Ummm....notice the glitter? She glittered ALL of her kid's clothespins
Love the way she is displaying her Brain Break sticks, Journal Jar, and warm fuzzies! She got some of these ideas from pinterest...
This is the side view of her classroom...So bright and colorful!
Super Star work board and calendar...
Her VERY cute classroom view from the door!
Don't cha just love it?
I love her classroom library! Her classroom looks so nice! It must be nice to have your twin as a teacher--you must share everything!

I could look at classroom pictures all day, too! Her room is so colorful and bright! Her owl displays are too cute! I'm glad you could share these!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I see a lot of you in there too, Julie!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove her classroom! Do you think she would be willing to share her owl pattern (the ones on the door)? My daughter's teacher has an owl theme and I offered to help her make some of these ADORABLE owls for her room. Pretty PLEASE!!!:)

I love the student display in the hallway! I might try to do something along the same lines for my classroom....but I'm wondering how everything is attached. The clothespins, for example---how are those staying in place? Would love it if you can share! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHer classroom looks great! I love all the color. I just saw a few little Fancy Nancy plush dolls at Walmart that would look cute tacked up by her fancy word wall.

Heather,
ReplyDeleteThe clothespins are hot glued to the laminated construction paper. Hope this helps!
What an awesome classroom! Those owls! That display board! Those filing cabinets! Now there's a lot of time and hard work.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, such a cheerful and happy place to learn. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Her room is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE peeking into other classrooms to get ideas. Where did she find (make?) those AWESOME pencil fences in her reading area?
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! I'm excited to try this!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute room! Quick question, what is her journal jar used for? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou guys inspired me to do the owls on my classroom door. Everyone LOVES them!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone compliments them when they walk by the room.
ReplyDeleteI really loved your sister's room. I have recently moved to second grade from third and got several ideas from her room. Does she have a website? Also, I LOVED the owls and wondered if you could e-mail me a pattern. Thanks for sharing. marti_downs@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be a teacher! I was looking at classroom ideas! I fell in love with your classroom! Its so cute! I bet your students love coming to class! it looks so fun and inviting! awesome job!!
ReplyDeleteGreat classroom pics, thanks for sharing! Her room seems to be very engaging. Can you tell me what font and/or program she used to make her signs for her reading bulletin board? I have the exact same board, but I LOOOVE her signs for Genre and Vocabulary,etc... much better than mine! Would love to have them in my room.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

I love the classroom photos! Such inspiration for a new teacher. I saw others ask if you could share the owl pattern. Did she make or order? Please share...pretty pretty please. :)
ReplyDeleteI had the same question! I would love the template for the owls if available. Thanks for sharing! I have the same scheme in my room, and I am in the process of adding the "cutesy" touches :)
ReplyDeleteWhat are the Journal Jar, Brain Breaks and Warm Fuzzies jars used for? I'm dying to know! :)

ReplyDeleteI am curious as to what is on the ring in the middle of the board between the amazing words and vocabulary words.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and your sister's classroom! Thanks for sharing! Do you know how she did the title for her reading focus wall?
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the "WELCOME" banner beside your door? It's so cute!!! I want to make one!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year teaching and wanted to do the owl theme as well. I would love the owl template if available.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Does she glue the clothes pins to the border paper? Help!
ReplyDeleteI love your sister's room. Where did she get the "READING" circular banner? If she made it can you share what font? I just love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! The owls are adorable! Would love to have the owl template, as well, if available!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

I too would like to know what is hanging on the rings in the middle of the Reading Focus board. I also have a question about where she hangs student work... Are the laminated sheets of paper attached to a bulletin board? If not, how are they attached to the wall?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! You are both amazingly creative! I'm stealing lots of ideas!

ReplyDeleteLove the owls!! Is there any way I can get the template? I would really appreciate it. Also did she just use different types of scrap booking paper for the owls bodies? Hope you are enjoying your summer and not working too hard. Thanks.

I LOVE this room! I have wanted to make the welcome sign and saw a link to it from 4th Grade Frolics. Going to tackle that tomorrow. Also, how are the clothespins attached to the bulletin boards? I like that much better than always stapling! Thanks for the inspiration:)
