Pink, Green and Blue, Oh My!
As I walked into Target a few weeks ago, look what was calling my name…
I swear I heard it from a far! Well you all know my obsession with lime green & hot pink, and I am a bin hoarder, so this was pretty much music to my ears! But I walked away people, I walked away!!! I did not buy the $3 bins in my favorite colors because I have restraint! {well that, and the ugly stripes on the pink bins really weren’t doing it for me! Hear that Target! We don’t like the stripes!!}
But, these bins did inspire me to introduce the pretty teal/turquoise/cerulean blue {really I can’t figure out what that color is, but it’s pretty!} into my classroom decor.
I started with updating my picture direction icons!
Honestly, I think this is the best classroom management tool I’ve ever used in my classroom! I am such a visual person and many of my students are too, so it really eliminates lots of mistakes for my kiddos who can’t remember 3-step directions {which lets face it…most of them ;)}. I adhered a little magnet strip to the back of the pictures so that as I give my students a direction verbally, I can quickly add a direction icon to the board. I *finally* got smart enough to add numbers to my icons so that I don’t have to write them anymore. My kids really love them too!
As you can tell, along with my color obsessions, I also realllly love polka dots and chevron print. Since I couldn’t decide which one to use in my classroom next year, I just went with both!
Here’s what I’ve been designing, and will have up in my store soon!
And I’m stilllll updating my beach theme decor to compliment the rest of my decor.
One of my sweet friends, Traci, is working on making me some *adorable* beachy clip art in my favorite colors! THANK YOU TRACI!!!
She also has the most wonderfully in-depth weekly planner available in her TpT store!
She is absolutely amazing!
…and now I need to go back to Target…
