My Candy Alphabet!

I have been working hard trying to finish up my candy alphabet for my Willy Wonka themed room this year. Our school wide theme is "ticket to success" so the second grade settled on a Willy Wonka theme. I have high hopes! We have added two additional second grade teachers to our team this year making a total of six!! Last year I purchased two hanging lines for my room that come with colored plastic clothes pins (which I will be replacing with wooden painted ones). This past school year I hung some student work on the line but most went into the hallway. This year I came up with the idea of hanging a alphabet across the room to add a 3 dimensional effect. I created the alphabet using adobe photoshop and used photos of Willy Wonka candy in the background of the letters. It was a task. I printed two copies so that the alphabet could be seen from either side, then I laminated and trimmed. I will pin them to the line stretched across the room. I feel confident it will look awesome and everyone will be able to see it from any seat in the room. Each letter has a separate file so I can't post all the letters. Here they are!!

Wonka Crazy!

I am starting to get everything together for the new school year which starts for my district in about four weeks. I have begun this week getting a little Wonka crazy! I have created a "candy alphabet" to add to my candy expectations. I won't be able to take pics until I get in the room in about three weeks and I will share. I am making a list of Wonka ideas for the room which so far include: Golden ticket desk nameplates, Wonka's wonderful word tree with Wonka vocabulary gobbstoppers, Wonka Daily Five (Wonka read to self, Read to a Wonka partner, Wonka listen to reading, work on Wonka words and work on Wonka writing), Wonka's wonderful word journal label, Wonka mad science journals labels, Wonka's magic math journal labels, Wonka candy reading center and the Wonka class library, Wonka's daily wonky folder (behavior and homework), Wonka candy crates to sit on in the candy reading center, Wonka's writers eye posters and so much more!! I will post as I complete for anyone who may stumble across this site searching for Wonka theme ideas. I could not find any for classrooms but I found lots of birthday party stuff to give me ideas!
