Look at some new additions to my room and a Giveaway

Last night we had Open House. One of my little guy's tween sister told me she "LOVED" my room decor! Compliment? I'll take it.

My two sidekicks (Nash and Emmie) and I spent some time crafting at school on Saturday. I completed my Math Work Stations board in my classroom color scheme of course.

We tried full out Math Work Stations today, and it was a hit! The best part- my kids worked hard, not me. I actually almost stuck my head through the awful orange curtain to my teaching partner to have her come see, but I figured she might have been teaching or something.

What inspired this one last kick for my room decor was an amazing banner that I found on etsy.

I was in LOVE! I emailed Belinda (The Oh-So-Crafty lady that runs this shop) and explained to her that my classroom had a jungle theme and asked if she could help me get the banner of my dreams?? Well, not only did she try and interpret my not-very-clear instructions, but she came to my blog and looked at pictures of my room! Come on,you don't get better customer service then that!!!!

My students and I both love it!

It hangs above my guided reading table and inspired me to cover that book shelf and add the purple, black, and white boxes.
