The mix of emotions in switching grade levels can be overwhelming. Excitement at the prospect of something new, and in this case getting to work with a great group of kids for the second year in a row, yet apprehension about a brand new curriculum. In my case, it’s the second year in a row for this range of emotions and without being able to get into my new room to start organizing things physically, all I can do is sit and plan things out in my head or on paper. And boy do I have notes and new projects started everywhere! I’m happy to finally be finishing a thing or two on my to-do list!
The one thing I do know is that my new classroom is getting a fresh coat of paint, and it’s a bright yellow (quite a change from the calming blue I had last year). I wanted to keep the same clean, organized look that I had last year, but I needed to switch up the color scheme a bit from the bright lime and turquoise I had. Perhaps a set of posters with little inspirational sayings would be nice if they were in white frames? But wouldn’t that get expensive? Lucky for me, I was able to find 4-packs of black document frames at the Christmas Tree Shop for $4.99… who can pass up 8 frames for $10? A few coats of white paint and, voila! That left finding just the right posters to match and fit into my frames, and they seemed to be non-existent, so I decided to create them myself.
These are 6 out of the 8 posters, ready to be hung. If you are interested in your own copy of the posters, you can find them on my TpT store, or my Teacher’s Notebook store. Enjoy!
