Rainbow Brights Chalkboard Kids... AND a FREEBIE!!

Hi Ya'll!  I have been busy working on this classroom set for a fellow teacher for a WHILE now.  She gave me some ideas what she was looking for and I started creating.  I have to admit this has turned out cuter than I ever imagined.  She wanted BRIGHT colors, she wanted chalkboard and she loves the Melonheadz Kidlettes. So I meshed all three and came up with this.

As usual I've bundled lots of stuff in this pack so here's a little sneak peak of some of the items:

Alphabet

One of my favorite things in this set are the shape posters... I love the polka dots!

There are even calendar pieces that go with this set.  My FAVORITE part of this set are the Color Posters!  I know they don't go with my room but I want to print them out and use them anyway!!!

There is a ton more to this set and I won't bore you with all the details but if you would like to check out the preview file you can go HERE. I am having a GIVEAWAY on my facebook page right now... so if you want to enter, like my page, share the post, tag a friend and they can win the pack too!  If you don't like bright colors or want a different theme, I have lots of other decor packs in my store you can pick from if you win!  I will be choosing a winner tomorrow at 5 p.m. CST!  If you just can't wait, everything in my store is 20% off today and tomorrow! (July 29 and July 30) 

I mentioned in the title of this text that there is a FREEBIE today!  This pack inspired me to create some posters with cute rainbow sayings... they turned out like this:

With all her cute kidlettes, Nikki makes it SO hard to choose which cutie patooties to use ~ so I made two different options.

And this is definitely my new mantra... Enjoy your last few days of summer break and don't forget to play in the rain, laugh often, smile, paint rainbows, believe in fairy tales, sing silly songs and DREAM BIG!  Click on any of the pictures above to grab this for your classroom! Happy Tuesday!

Updates and More Updates! Jazzin' things up a bit!

As I've been updating a lot of my products on TPT this summer, I can't help but think about Erica Bohrer's post about "Getting Started on TPT". She talks about what her first products looked like versus her more recent items.  I had to chuckle as I look back on things I made years ago compared to my more recent items.  I think I had some really good concepts but visually some of my stuff just didn't cut it.  I realize it's a process... I've learned and grown and still have so much more to learn but I do feel like my newer items are so much more appealing.  (Side note:  If you haven't read Erica's post and are thinking about using TPT ~ it is a must read FULL of valuable information!) 

Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

This poster has been updated with all new fonts, backgrounds and clip art.  

Here is what it looked like before the updates:

UMMMM.... I loved these posters and used them for each unit of Reading Street... But seriously they I had to revamp! If by chance you purchased these posters... They have ALL been updated and you can go to your purchases on TPT and re-download.  

Not only did I update THESE posters but since we are using the new Common Core Edition of Reading Street... many of the concepts changed.  SO I created a new product that I am in love with... and I can't wait to use them on my focus wall! 

This is the same concept as the first poster but slightly different terminology for Common Core.  I created these all new Common Core Versions and I have to admit I'm loving the look of them!  Here is Unit 1:

I made each unit a different color and tried to make them as visually appealing and kid-friendly so that my students can use these as a reference as we learn each grammar concept. 

I especially love the Melonheadz clipart.  I am a COMPLETE ADDICT... Serious UH-DICT-ION! Okay ya'll... one last image to share ~

I have updated tons more but just thought I'd share some of the updates I've made this summer. I just got the word that I can get into my classroom on Monday so I guess it's time for back to school mode!  I've been pinning and getting lots of ideas on ways to set up my classroom this year. YOWZA!  So excited!
