designing our room

In another life I might have been an interior designer. I LOVE to create a really cozy, fun, and bright classroom for my students.  This year OWLS have been on my mind and I will be using them to add a little wisdom and fun to our room.  




I went out this week in search of fabric to cover some pillows for our reading corner.  These are the fabrics I found...of course the owl pattern is my favorite.  The students will be doing a lot of reading this year and it's important that they each find a comfortable place in which to READ and think and comprehend.


LOVE it!



L - O - V - E, love Target! Today I found great classroom supplies for our new room in the dollar bins...flashcards for math & phonics, animals & geography.  Some cute little whiteboards for practicing our spelling words {over and over},




 plastic bins for storing supplies, small research books about dinosaurs and creatures living under the sea...pencils and stickers...LOTS of great stuff. And everything, everything... for just $1 each!
