Polka Dot Galore!!!

I am almost polka dotted out!  I still have a B&W line to finish and my Primary Polka Dot Classroom Library Packet…but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I have been working like a maniac to get all these packets done/updated for you.  Don’t be mad, but I am going on vacation again!  I will be back Friday, so please hang tight.   Read below to find out about the updates and my new Primary Polka Dot Classroom Decor sets which are available now in my TpT store.

First up, the new Primary Polka Dot Classroom Decor packets.  Last year, I made the bright sets for my own classroom and I received so many request to make them in primary colors.  I usually don’t take requests to create things that I would not be able to use in my own classroom, but I received some really sweet emails that convinced me to create these.  I have one more packet in the line left to create, the classroom library labels.  I apologize for making you way, but if you follow my store you will be the first to know of updates.  Click the covers to go directly to the item in my store.

This packet includes a link to an editable Power Point doc.

*If you purchase any of these packets, I would love to see pictures of them put to work in your own classroom.  

I created my bright polka dot decor packets last August when I changed my whole theme from cows to bright polka dots.  I lucked out and found a ton of great bright items at Big Lots.  This year I bought some new borders, a calendar, circular calendar numbers, and adorable file folders from MpMSchoolSupplies.com.

I updated many of the bright files so that they now include a link to an editable Power Point file.  If you have already purchased, you can re-download for free by going to your “My Purchases” page.

Again, I would love to see pictures of these packets in action.  Please, email them to me.  Also, the first three people who comment, get either decor line for free 🙂  If you miss out on this one, subscribe to my posts via email – that way you don’t miss out on the next time I do a sneak giveaway.

    I absolutely love the polka dots! I've just decided on my classroom theme this year…bright polka dots with black backgrounds! I wish I could see pictures of your classroom with the awesome polkadotness!

    Also! You have totally inspired me to publish a book for scholastic! I actually bought one of your books from scholastic last year, and after reading about your blog post about publishing for scholastic, I was like, Wait a minute! I have her book!! Thanks for all of your inspiration and wonderful ideas!

    P.S. I'm your newest follower. 🙂

    Hi Erica! I think the polka dots are amazing. My wish list is full but was wondering about being a MAC user and being able to download and edit the document? Any feedback regarding this?
    PS: Italy looked AMAZING – it is on my bucket list for sure!

      You know I did not even think of that! I am a Mac user but I had Microsoft Office installed. I just need it to transfer files back and forth to my classroom computer. Is there a way you can just download Power Point? Or maybe just work on creating the updated cards in your classroom?

      Italy was amazing, thank you.
