First Grade Classroom Decor & a Sale

I have been trying out PicMonkey after learning about it at the TpT Supercharged Seller Conferences in Vegas (Thank you Deedee and Deanna).   I put together a few shots of my classroom from last year.  I will continue the polka dot theme this year, but I don’t plan on going into my classroom until August.  
Last year’s summer project was painting the desk above.  You can read all about it {Here} and snag the desk mini posters. I painted the Michael’s frames and hot glued magnets to the back.  
The Teacher Toolbox organizer labels are available individually or in my Ultimate Bright Polka Dot Decor Packet. 

The labels above are included in all my Ultimate decor packets. 
These table caddies are made from picnic utensil organizers from CVS.  I then added ribbon and my table labels from my Ultimate Bright Polka Dot Decor Packet.

 The resources above are also bundled into my Ultimate Bright Polka Dot Decor packet or you can purchase the color posters here, the number posters here, and the alphabet posters here.

Tip: Try adding ribbon to the door for a 3-D effect.  I also like to layer the borders.

    What did you use for the black and white polka dot around the door's window? What did you use for the black on the concrete wall for the anchor chart frames? If you used paper, did it stick well on the concrete wall?

Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok. Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok.” to an apology but it is never ok to hurt a fellow student’s feelings, body, or to make them uncomfortable. 

“I accept your apology.” Is a good way for students to move past it if they are willing to do so. 

What do you have your students say?
