The other day, I whipped up a new Word Wall set for my room, which I will share in a moment. This year my "theme" is going to be Turquoise and Black with a splash of chevron. I'm not really into super theme-y things like the jungle or the ocean, for example, but I like everything to be cohesive with colors. I bought black fadeless paper for all the bulletin boards. Not the greatest iPhone pic ever, but here is the border I will be using throughout the room:

Decorating my room is just one of the ways I get myself excited for a new year. After all, my classroom will be my home away from home for the entire school year! This year I will be in a new classroom than the year before. The rooms are pretty tiny. The school was built in the 1920s, afterall all! I've been pinning classroom organization pictures like crazy to help me think through the room set-up. I can't wait to get in there and start setting up!
Here are some before pictures of the room as it currently looks from when I stopped into school a few weeks ago. The rooms are being deep cleaned during July and then I will probably start spending a couple of hours each day in the room when August rolls around.
This year my room looks out onto the playground. Which is fun...but also a little distracting for the kiddos! We'll see how it goes! :)
Now, onto the word wall set that I created...
Turquoise to match my borders! :) The set includes letter headers A-Z with clipart and also without. All 220 Dolch words are also included. If you want to grab this set, visit my TPT store! :)
How are you gearing up for the '14-'15 school year?
