Fabulous Finds Build Excitement

I'm excited about my classroom theme next year... makes me wonder why I haven't done a better job of this sooner. Thankfully, I told hubs today, that teachers typically (I think) keep the same theme for 2-3 years then rotate to something else. (At least that's what the teachers at my school do.)

I'm even planning that maybe I could be a monster for the Halloween parade... hmmm...

Anyway, I started searching this weekend to expand my classroom library to include more lower level books and more holiday/seasonal books.

Perhaps next year's change will spark my creativity. I'm already excited for it!

Check out today's fabulous finds...

Surprisingly (or maybe not-so-surprisingly) Goodwill and thrift stores are great places to find some classic children's books. (This is about $30 worth of books [around 37 of them] from three different locations. Some hardback, some not.)

I'm super excited about the monster fabric I found at Joann's.

Our school is still keeping the HAPPY theme next year so I figured I wouldn't change ALL my curtains into monster ones, just every other one.





That is one of my summer tasks. They will look fabulous when I'm done!

The cashier at Joann's has probably inspired another summer to-do when she told me about a pattern that they sell...
