I made the Oh, Hello above my door and the arrows on the side with my Silhouette Cameo.
I am so excited to share my classroom with you! I haven't "re-done" a classroom in YEARS! I have just kept my same classroom for a few years and I felt content. BUT, this year I moved to a brand-new school and I felt completely inspired to just go all out. I've had a blast decorating, but I'm exhausted. Natalie took some amazing pictures and she made it look even better than I thought it could look. Good lighting and camera goes a long way. ;)
This year I'm not doing a "theme". I've done jungle, bugs, and cooking. This year, I was just completely inspired by the bright polka dot, striped, and chevron borders from Teacher Created Resources. I love every border that I've ever ordered from them! Plus they have way more than just borders. :)

These are my "Tidy Tubs". Nicole from Rowdy in Room 300 is a genius and gave me this idea! She puts a "Tidy Tub" on each table while her students are doing cutting projects. It helps keep the students in their seats working instead of going back and forth to the garbage can to throw away their scraps. SO SMART!

My go-tos for decorating:
Teacher Created Resources has the BEST border selection. They had EVERY color I needed and in every pattern I could ever want.
Ok... What questions do you have? Let me know and I'll do a second post about my classroom next week!
