AARRRRGH! Pirate Place Value!

A few years ago, I created this little guy:

...which came from this pack:

Well, that was 3 years ago, so it was time for an UPDATE! Ta-da!!:

I gave EVERY page a facelift, changed up some of the activities and added a few new things.

I am SO excited about the changes--I hope you enjoy as well! If you already have it, be sure to download it again! If you don't have it already, click below to check it out! I have it on sale through Monday! :)

2014 Classroom Reveal

So, after weeks of work that included a complete classroom decor makeover, I am FINALLY ready to reveal my classroom! BUT FIRST, a blast from the past--

1st Grade Classroom 2013-2014

4th Grade Classroom 2011-2012

Alright, here it is!!!! My 1st grade classroom for 2014-2015:

Welcome to my hallway! This is the brand new bulletin board right outside my classroom door.

The giant letters idea came from Doodle Bugs Teaching and I made them using my Silhouette Cameo. A worthy investment, in case you are interested.

View into my classroom from the hallway! (blue rug from Target)

Word Work containers that will be leveled/differentiated.

Sight word list mastery board

Book bags

 Outside door, reading/partner activity corner (rug from Sam's Club)

View from the outside door
