Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

I love decorating my classroom with my kid's art. Here are my hand print butterflies: Here is the Little Artists Board: We have been busy ! Lady bugs, rain drops and a rainbow. I am not sure how that all goes together, except they are all Spring related, but I like it anyway.

The last few days I have been working on my classroom. I love having a room to decorate. Here is our reading tent. It is made with curtains, ribbons and a hula hoop. The kids love it. The Dollar Tree had some nice and easy bulletin board pieces. It was a lot simpler than my boards I did last year. This bulletin board is not finished. I am going to add pictures of the kids and their families. The kids love seeing family pictures in the room. Simple shapes cut from construction paper. I am so excited about this year, I know it is going to be great fun.

I did a bulletin board at school that has the symbols of Christmas with their meanings. Even if you do not have board to decorate, you could make a book with these ideas. I know I have a blank area, I am going to add a Candy Cane with it saying, " Upside down "J" shape stands for Jesus. The white represents Jesus washing away our sins and the red represents the blood Jesus shed for us. " I cut out all the pictures from construction paper. The Symbols of Christmas The Star was placed in the sky for the wise men to follow. The Wreath is a circle without any end, the same as God's love for us. The Candles shine brightly, to tell us that Jesus is the light of the world. The Baby in the manger shows the birth of Jesus, the savior of the world. The Present are given to remind us of God's gift to the world. The Tree points to heaven, and reminds us that God is eternal.

One thing I love about being a Pre-School teacher is decorating my room. On Friday I changed my bulletin boards for the Fall. The first board is a fall tree. "Fall into Jesus" is the theme of the board. This is my second bulletin board. It says," Dear God, I just filled an empty wall with a pumpkin patch . On Tuesday we are going to make some glitter leaves and glue them to a spiral made out of construction paper and hang them from the ceiling. These are the name tags that hang over their coat hooks. I am going to put their names on the bear's hat. I love Halloween and decorating my room.

My exciting news is I got a job teaching at a Preschool. I will be teaching a 2 year old class 2 days a week, and assisting in a 3 years old class 1 day a week. I am so excited,I feel this job is what I was meant to do (after being a Mom). Three of my kids will be in elementary school and Cheyanne will be at this Preschool (I will be in her class when I am with the 3 years old ). I have been drawing and cutting my fingers off. These are pictures of my hard labor. I have just loved doing it. This is right outside my door. "We're Beary Glad To See You" I just love these Teddys . This one of my Bulletin Boards: " Friendships Blossom Here" This is my favorite: We're So Hoppy to See You" Aren't these frogs too cute? This is the Artist's Corner. Kids are going to put up any art work they would like to place here, they are even welcome to bring pictures they create from home. This is Alphie the Inch Worm: I wish I could say I got these ideas fro...
