1st Grade Jungle and Lauren's Graduation Party!

Thank y'all so much for all the comments from yesterday's post. Yesterday, my friend Kristan and I went to the teacher supply store to look around...we had so much fun! It was kinda overwhelming though! I just wish I knew exactly what I needed to buy. I cannot start decorating my classroom until August 8th so I am going to have a lot of time to plan this summer and figure out what I really need.

I mentioned yesterday that I was thinking about doing a jungle/safari theme....here are some ideas...

Door/Bulletin Board Ideas:

"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom...Look Who Is In Our Room"

"Miss C's Class Is Wild About 1st Grade"

"Welcome to Miss C's 1st Grade Jungle"

Job/Helper Board Ideas:

"SPOTTED....Classroom Helpers"

"Hunting for Helpers"

Classroom Management Board Idea:

"Going Bananas Over Good Behavior" (I would create some type of board that had different levels of behavior for instance, great behavior, warning, consequence, etc. The children would each have a laminated banana with their name on it to move up and down the board)

Birthday Bulletin Board Idea:

"Born To Be Wild"

Good Work Board Ideas:

"No Lion...This is Great Work"

"Work to Roar About"

Student of the Week Board Ideas:

"Top Monkey"

"Top Banana"

What are your favorites??? Any other ideas?!?! I'm getting so excited...can't ya tell? Lol

Last Friday, I went to my cousin Lauren's high school graduation party! I cannot believe that she will be in college next year! Isn't her cake cute?! My aunt and cousin Caitlin made it for her!

Congrats Lauren! I am so proud of you!

Congrats on your job, girl!!! Love your ideas! I use a ladybug/garden theme. Look on Pinterest for all kinds of ideas. I've found a ton of new things I want to implement in my room for this upcoming year! Oh and don't forget about going to gargae sales---great way to add your classroom library on the cheap!
