Today I went shopping. Not just any shopping though.
I went shopping: Monster Style.
That can only mean one thing- Danger to the bank account (!).
Good thing graduation happened and so did graduation money.
Good thing being a new teacher means a little more money to begin with also.
And so, I thought I'd share my "Monster" haul with you!
And for those of you wondering, yes, my theme went from sports to monsters. Apparently the sports theme is outdated and you can't find ANYTHING team-related except for odds and ends here and there that look terrible together. After alittle lot of deliberation, I decided the monster theme is the theme to liven up my classroom and is perfect for my little 2nd grade kiddo's (If I had ended up teaching an upper grade {like I thought I would!!} I would've stuck with the team theme, but the monster theme fit too perfectly for 2nd grade...).
The whole stash...
Closer....
Name tags for the first day!
Incredibly awesome monster stickers...
I actually got incredibly lucky- I have one of the most fabulous classrooms in the school. Pictures will come once everything is up and ready! My head is reeling with ideas and wonderfulness!
I may lose sleep at night because of lessons and decorating ideas.

Love the monsters! Is the school going to give you any legislature money? Alpine gives all teachers $250/yr for classroom needs. Just in case you don't know, keep your receipts for everything because you can claim it all on your taxes next year :) Also, JoAnn Fabrics has a discount program for teachers!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!! I totally did the same thing last year with the shopping spree for classroom stuff. It was really hard not to buy everything I saw! 2nd grade kiddos are going to LOVE the monster theme! Good luck! And ditto to what Elaine said...receipts=good.
ReplyDeleteaaaaaahhhhhhhh I LOVE it! What a cute theme. It will be great because some of your students will truly be little monsters. :) It looks like you are doing an awesome job setting up and preparing your classroom. Have fun getting it all done!!!
