A Little Personality and Something FREE!

Being a mom of 2 boys I don't feel like I truly get the opportunity to let my inner creative decorator shine through very often.  So that is where my classroom comes in play!  I love to decorate my classroom, give it a little personality, and make it a part of me.  



  SO true.  Don't you agree? 
(Keep reading for your chance to win something from my store)


Theme or NO Theme?
Your thoughts?

This is my eighth year teaching
kindergarten and my 3rd classroom.      


My first year I taught half day kindergarten in 2 different classrooms at 2 different schools.  
I had an ocean theme in one room and shared classrooms with another teacher.   
I then went to full day in a different classroom.  I took over for a teacher who moved so the theme 
was already set.  Basic kindergarten with a little Americana.  

The following year the room was all mine and I began to give it a little Mrs. Gardner Flare.  Anyone that knows me knows that my style is a bit unique.  My husband says I have flare (a very nice way of saying different.)

Over the past few years I have wanted to give my room a little flare.  Make it my own.   When you walk in I want it to have that WOW factor.  Excitement, fun and a lot of (!!!!!!!)

Am I the only teacher that gets excited when I receive the classroom decor catalogs in the mail?  You know which ones  I am talking about.  (It's almost as exciting as back to school supply time!)   I am thrilled and my husband thinks "Here we go again?"  Another new theme!   

A few years ago I found the best theme ever Dr. Seuss!  This may be the first year that I didn't even think about switching!  I love the Dr. Seuss theme!  
I have everything from the alphabet wall, the word wall, behavior chart, calendar!  
My room has officially been "Seussed! "



Okay so maybe I am not begin completely honest...I love the theme and I am planning on keeping it 
but I want add a little bit of my own touches!  
I am super excited to take down my old alphabet and add my very own.
Tell me what you think.
                                             


How cute is this!?!?!?   I am working on my behavior chart, and popcorn word wall.
