Definitely a Hoot!

Well I have finished my first year as a 3rd grade teacher and it was definitely a HOOT.  3rd grade is nothing short of a marvelous challenge. I have not had a chance to even breathe let alone blog since January.  We managed to have a fabulously adventurous year jam packed with learning together as we prepared for the mysterious new STAAR test.   I am thrilled to pieces to be past that hurdle and am so ready for a relaxing summer of blogging, creating, and sharing. 

Every May it hits me!  I become obsessed with redoing my classroom.  This year was no exception.  Since my blog is owl themed it seems only fitting that my classroom follows suit.  So... I have been feverishly working on this Owl Classroom Decor pack.  I included an adorable welcome banner (just add ribbon), table numbers, locker tags (or desk plates), subject headers, calendar numbers and months. 





I got some  bright tissue paper poms from Party City and attached the table numbers to them with fancy ribbon.  Hung them from the ceiling and voila! Not a new concept but I love it!



I revamped my Word Wall and Owl Daily 5 signs as well.   I can't wait to put it all together!    Of course I had to create a freebie print for y'all.  In keeping with my mantra from last year I had to do another Keep Calm for you to frame!

I also have some name tags for you HERE.

  1. LOVE it! Super Duper Cute! How do y'all get away with hangin' things from the ceiling? Our Fire Marshals are super strict.

    I had cute Christmas lights with robins on my wall & was asked to take them down...I never had them on all day only when we worked with the lights off. I see lots of super cute decor ....I was just wondering.

  14. I bought it and loved it...I should have bought your word wall pack too but I bought someone else's...not as cute. I came across it on TPT and it went perfect with what I wanted this year. I wanted to do blue and green polka dot with an occasional owl and a splash of pink. I will post picks when I get it all set up in my room.

  15. I was just wondering how you made you own theme? It's adorable! I Bought one elsewhere a few days ago and do not like it as much. I would like to change my theme every few years but that can get expensive. How did you do it? Was it a template? Or Is there a program you use? BTW I Love your blog!
