Home to School

Today, my Main Man signs his very first teaching contract! 

(Cue applause and cheering) 

It's been a long time coming and two weeks ago, we didn't think he'd have a job for this school year. So, in honor of that, lets take a little of home to school. This is also a little research for me, since I'm his room designer. When he lets me. Read: when he gets desperate and wants to be better than everyone else.

Via His 6th and 7th graders will love this. It also shows you how to make the mug. Handmade gifts!

Chevron is too girly. Colts or IU perhaps? Less ruffled? But I can tell you that is from Hobby Lobby and I'm 90% sure it's printed duck fabric. My favorite of all printed fabrics.

Here's the problem. He has a 'decorate as you go plan' using the kids work. But, the room looks pretty stark right now. He isn't as uninviting as the room suggests. We need a little help. Because while the Constitution and Bill of Rights are awesome, they leave a little to be desired in the 'learning is fun!' department.

He needs a chair, and I have a staple gun. Actually, he can have my desk chair and I'll take a fun one!

Via First, this website is a great idea. Second, this is a free download! It won't work for his room, but it's a great plan, and I have markers! Use it at home! In a study area or make your own with house rules.

It's just contact paper! He has all kinds of boring metal in his room that is just screaming for a hint of fun!

I found all of this through Pinterest. We don't Google anymore, we ask Pinterest. I searched for 'classroom decor' and under 'education'.
