I'm super excited to share a few things I've been working on in my classroom!
This week, I went into school to work on my bulletin boards! I wanted to change the paper and borders so they were all coordinating. Here is a picture of my calendar before:
I finished changing the paper and border, but forgot to take a picture because I am still working on cutting out my new, laminated calendar set. I will blog about my room makeover soon, so you can see the before and after pictures!
While I was at school, I also worked on my word wall! I just loved how my layered borders turned out! My other boards have the same lime green and black polka dot border!
All my containers finally came! I am in LOVE with all the bright colors, and am doing a total room makeover. Hence, all the new tubs and baskets! These came from a company called Romanoff Products, and they are awesome, super sturdy, and come in a variety of colors.
The large black and hot pink tubs in the back are called the 5" Stowaway Letter Box. The lime, yellow and turquoise caddies are called the Small Utility Caddy. The hot pink and lime green magazine boxes are called the Magazine File.
Romanoff Products has a variety of storage and organization tubs, bins and caddies in a variety of colors, but you have to order by the case, which means either 12 or 24, depending on the item. I asked a few other teachers to order with me, so I could fill a full case of some of the items. It was great, because we were able to split the cost of freight, which was a bit, considering we had six cases shipped!
This week, my hubby and I worked on priming and painting my old filing cabinet! Friends, it looked ROUGH, including contact paper across the top!
AND speaking of my hubby... Yesterday, we celebrated our 4th anniversary! He is my rock, my best friend and my biggest fan and supporter!
This is one of my favorite shots from our wedding! Shhh! Don't tell the hubby! He doesn't like this picture!
So what have you been working on for back to school?
Love your new tubs! All the colors you picked out are gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I have more from the Really Good Stuff and Big Lots that are not in the picture! It's like the Container Store at my house right now! :)
DeleteThose tubs are awesome! My whole classroom is lime green and turquoise. Love bright colors!
DeleteYes, I am addicted to bright colors too! I just love how they pop!
DeleteI love the colors you are using in your room! Everything is going to look great. Love your wedding picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robyn! I decided it was time to change from primary to brights! I'm loving it!

Thank you, Christy! I almost used black fadeless paper too, but didn't think my letter cards would stand out as well. Don't tell my hubby about the picture! :)
DeleteLove your color scheme! The layered border is awesome with the black and bright colors! So far this summer, I haven't done ANYTHING to get my classroom ready…. I hope I'm not too stressed when August comes around! :)

Thank you! I've been working nonstop since school got out! I am taking a little breather this week! ;)
DeleteThe pink and black look great - love the colours and tubs! Sounds like your classroom is undergoing a major transformation - can't wait to see the finished pictures!

Yes, it is! I will post pictures once I have everything put back together! LOL!
DeleteI love the containers you got. I am looking into ordering some, but I was wondering how you ordered since they require a company name and tax id number. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi, Megan! I used my school's name and tax ID number! I just had to scan and email a copy of the tax ID number certificate from our school. Remember, you will have to order an entire case of each item you choose. Hope this helps!
