My Preschool Classroom

One aspect I've always loved about teaching is classroom decorating. Teaching at my current preschool is interesting because we share our room with another class on the days were aren't there. Because of this, 4 teachers plan and decorate the class together.

Here is what we came up with this year..a crayon theme.

The door...each crayon had a student's name on it.

We have this huge mirror on the wall.  We started with the quote from one of our favorite crayon quotes from The Crayon Box That Talked. "We are a box of crayons.  Each one of us unique.  But when we get together, the picture is complete!" There is a crayon box for each class and a crayon for each child.  Each student colored their crayon and we wrapped it around a paper towel roll to give it a 3D effect.

I am proud of those boxes as they were labor intensive.  I had to wrap a sweater box in paper, then a yellow plastic tablecloth. I cut out all the letters with my Silhouette and then we put contact paper over them to seal it all in.
