Obviously this has nothing to do with wild, unless you are looking at wild letters. Another thing you may not know is that next year I will also have the opportunity of having a second classroom in another school, it will be a year of new experiences for me. I thought it would be a fun time to try out another theme. So I will be working on a "Surfing" theme.
On another, but related note, I went to Target today. I went on a hunt for those wonderful alphabet stamps, pocket charts, and pirate items you all are blogging about. However, I was very disappointed, because my Target doesn't have them yet. :( We did have the bins, but they weren't in my color scheme and I am done with a million colors in my class. I digress, what I did find was some surfing items. See pictures below.
A surfboard rug, & cork board, 6 bins and several bowls in my new color scheme. As well as some wonderful animal cards with sounds. I think these will be perfect for teaching sounds and using voice in Writing.
I am not sure how I will pull it all off but I am looking forward to it.
I also went by my local Barnes & Nobel to pick up a Splat book. I was disappointed yet again when they didn't have it. No worries though I picked up another book I've been raving about...
I Need My Monster.
So while I didn't get what I wanted, I still got plenty. :)
I did the wild thing for a couple of years when I moved up to fourth grade. I found great fabric for my bulletin board at Joann's Fabric that gave the illusion of black fur and then I did a tiger border- the one that also looks like tiger fur. It looked so amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd a second classroom at a different school? How neat! You'll have to tell us more!

Look for Splat at the end of the month. I just got 2 boxes from Amazon today.
ReplyDeleteI found a cute shark pop up hamper at Target too. I haven't seen pocket charts at my Target either. I check like 3 times a week :)
