Unfortunately, my little teaching world is on hold to some extent right now. I can't get into my classroom, because it's just now getting itself a good cleaning. We are cutting it close, yes? Since I can't do what must be done in that room of mine, I'm doing my best to prepare in other ways. Here are a few Pinterest-inspired things I've enjoyed doing instead.

I'm pretty sure my new sign will turn into a classroom book. Most everything seems to do that in my room. The bathroom passes will replace the passes that my kids put on their desks when they head to the bathroom. I'm not so comfortable sending my possessions to an elementary bathroom. It's bad enough sending the children. At least when they return, they can do something about those germs, just in case they didn't while they were away. I also like putting passes on desks because my poor memory is less likely to forget where the children are. Anyone else have this problem?
(Click on the Pinterest versions above if you want to see where they came from. They certainly deserve the credit.)
Love your first day of school sign! I had hoped to get one of these made, but I added too many projects to the to-do list and I'm running out of time!
ReplyDeleteHave a great school year!

Lisa, time is certainly a problem isn't it? Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI am loving that first day of school sign! Great idea with the sanitizers on the desk! Those bathrooms are full of germs.

Sheree, good luck with your frame. I'm sure it will turn out great!
DeleteI love both those ideas! Enough that I might even try them myself and I tend to not do crafts for my classroom:)

Great job on both projects, Tammy! I need to get a couple of bottles of hand sanitizer. I really like that idea.

Connie, you definitely should grab some sanitizer. It's a quick, easy project and hopefully one that will kill some unwanted germs too.
