Classroom Photos and Updated Word Wall Words

I thought I would share photos of my polka dot themed classroom and my old cow print classroom through Shutterfly.  I noticed a lot of my Shutterfly photos on Pinterest and thought I would share them through this blog, too.  Click on {here} or the picture below to hop over to Shutterfly. This summer, I plan on making all of the items below in plain black and white polka dots, too.  If there is an interest, I will also make them in cow print or primary colored polka dots.
I have compiled everyone’s requests and added another 100 plus words to my original 204 Polka Dot Word Wall Words packet.  If you have already purchased this product from TpT, you can re-download the file.  If not check it out by clicking {here}.  I get such sweet feedback about this packet – thank you btw!  I do have to say the word cards really do brighten up a word wall!

I have noticed a sudden jump in my polka dot classroom decor sales, thanks to our Down Under friends who are starting a new school year.  For more polka dot decor and classroom inspiration, click on the pictures below.

    I LOVE your room, amazing labels, and all things polka dot! I have green, pink, and zebra in my room this year, but I've been getting the itch for a change. I'm thinking colorful polka dots might be the way to go next year! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

    I love the polka dots! Those storage cubes are adorable! Are they sturdy enough for the kiddos to sit on? They look so much better than the ugly chairs my kiddies sit on.

    So do you print all of these things at home off of a regular printer then laminate??? Seems like a lot of ink… is there a better way?

    • Erica Bohrer

      I print them all at home. I bought an Epson WP-4020 printer that is good on ink and a GCB Heat Seal Laminator from Amazon. The laminating sheets are so cheap on Amazon as compared to Office Supply Stores. If you decide to check it out, can you go through my link at the top left of my blog, so I get credit for referring you?

      Haha, you are so funny. If you like this stuff you should check out my friend Melanie of School Girl Style. Her rooms look amazing, you almost don't want to let kids near it.

    I love the polka dot storage cubes for seats! I am going to check big lots back to school section to see if they have any this year. Do you remember how much they were? Thanks for being such an inspiration for us to make our classrooms cuter! 🙂

      You are welcome! They were $19 each. They did not hold up well, so I don't recommend buying them unless you can lift them each day so the custodian does not bang into them with his broom. I think that is what did it. Or maybe keep them on a carpeted area. I am so sad, because they were so pretty.

Drop a 🎃if your class visited the pumpkin patch th Drop a 🎃if your class visited the pumpkin patch this week! 

I absolutely LOVED that our PTA made it free this year.  It made all 25 students very happy.  How does your school handle the pumpkin patch.

Many years ago when TpT was at its peak, I thought Many years ago when TpT was at its peak, I thought of leaving and becoming a full time teacher-author. But there were way too many reasons for me not to, like that I loved my job, that I was single, that being a teacher in NY meant I had good benefits, tenure, and a pension.  So I brushed that thought off and continued on teaching.  I continued on sharing resources with you and worked at a pace that was reasonable for someone teaching full-time and navigating life’s challenges. 
My heart goes out to all the teachers who did leave and have became teacher entrepreneurs. I know you are struggling with what to do now that TpT has changed their parameters.  I wish you success in whatever you decide. 
But this post is for all the teachers in classrooms who have stuck with me, asked my thoughts, and wondered what I was going to do next.  Well, I’m not changing a thing because I have only ever sold digital teaching resources on TpT and I will continue to do so. 
I want to thank you for your continued support your likes, comments, and shares always make my day. I love being able to share teaching resources with you and hopefully I have saved you time and maybe made you laugh once in a while. ❤️Erica
