Here are just some of the questions that I get asked frequently...not in any particular order.
Do you print your labels/tags with fonts or use border? The polka dot bordered labels were done from my computer. I found a border and used Publisher (my favorite program) I am also fontaholic!
Love the giant flower pot, where did you get it? It's call a whiskey barrel and pretty sure we got them at Home Depot.
What your student population is like? very very diverse
How many students you have? did have 17 (usually 23) after being displaced and at a new school I now have 22. This question is usually asked because of how my desks are arranged, I love grouping my desks so I always make it work.
Do you have a teacher assistant/parapro? no, we do use the push in model..so I certain points in the day I have a math specialist come in (and brings 4 other students with her) and the same with a reading specialist.
What grade do you teach? Third
Where do you work? Most of you have guessed...Gwinnett County...YEP!
Are the desks focused on a particular white board or projector? Yes...I use my interactive board ALL day! So I really try and make sure that every student can see the board as well as leave room in the front of the room for students to sit and interact. Our projectors are mounted from the ceiling (very helpful).
How did you get your student displays to stick to the cinderblock walls?HOT GLUE! Which means to help out the custodians I keep a bladed spatula to get the glue off.
Where did you find your clear gems? Hobby Lobby...just keep looking and you will find the right ones and right size. I go there at least once a week to keep an eye on inventory and sales.
Where did you get the trash cans? What are you letters cut from on the trash can? Is it self-adhesive? Dollar Store! I use a Cricut for some of my letters, but not all. I cut the letters from self-adhesive vinyl paper sold at Hobby Lobby with the Cricut supplies.
Love all your large custom font signs. Do you buy the letters? Or print them off your computer? some of both as well as my Cricut..see the pics below.
