Teacher Week 2013: Classroom Digs

I am linking up with Blog Hoppin’ for Teacher Week 2013, to give you a tour of my classroom.  
*Disclaimer: This is not how my classroom looks right now.  I have not been able to get in to set up my classroom because summer school was there and they are now cleaning the room.  So these pictures are from last year and the year before, but it will pretty much look the same when I set it up again. 
Click on the photos to find the products I used.  Thanks for taking a peek at my classroom!
     

The borders are all from MPM School Supplies.

The color signs are by Ashley Hughes 🙂

          The big book sign is by Rachel Lamb (click here to snag it for free).

I made these labels with my Silhouette Cameo.   You can purchase the b&w polka dot file folders from MPM School Supplies.

Click here to check out the number posters. 

I made these new supply organizers this year.  I found the baskets and ribbon at Michael’s.  I like them better because the pencils won’t poke through the mess.  I sell the table signs here!

To see my other bright polka dot items click here.  If you want to see all my decor items, click here.

I just finished these color posters:

Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students and teachers. 

It is a Sunday night and I am at home prepping for the week.  As a 25 year veteran teacher, I should have everything done.  I should be able to get everything done at school but I can’t.  Maxed out classes sizes mean that I can get much less prepping done during my preps. 

If you are a tired and frustrated teacher of a maxed out class.  I hear you and am right there with you.

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
