Wonka's Golden Ticket! Perfect for various uses in the classroom!

I am not sure what I am going to use this for just yet. I made it editable so that students names could be put in. These tickets could become part of a behavior reward system or just to put on the door with the students names on them! One other use I thought of was nameplates for their desks!!! ( I like this one the best)


My first Willy Wonka creation! Great Expectations Eight Principles Posters!

I am in full swing with creating things for my new room theme! I have created the great expectations eight principles posters! They are so awesome, or I think so! They are designed to print out on regular 8 1/2 x 11 paper, then just cut and laminate!!! Enjoy this freebie!!









More to come!!!

I made it through my first year back!

This year has been crazy! I have been so busy I haven't had the time to keep up with my blog! I am trying to get into the groove of improving my time management skills. I will have plenty of time over the summer to blog ideas! Teacher pay Teachers has been an incredible resource for me throughout the entire year! I also have been following several teacher bloggers for great ideas! I have had to move rooms for next year and we finally have everything moved! We have two days of work left before our seven weeks of summer vacation begins and I am so ready! The school I work at instituted a school wide theme (seems more like a slogan to me) and this coming fall the new theme is going to be "The Winning Ticket". I was not big on having a theme because I like to be creative on my own but I did find some inspiration that has me already gearing up for the new year! I immediately thought about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Candyland! I pitched my idea to the second grade team which is adding two new team members and they are on board. If you have any ideas to share please do!!! I have hit the ground running with ideas. Last  night I watched the 2005 version of Willy Wonka with Johnny Depp and got tons of ideas! As this unfolds I will share! I couldn't find any other classroom themes online like this to draw ideas from but I did find plenty of birthday parties with the theme and even a few weddings??? Stay tuned!!! This is going to be fun!!
