Day Three: An Echo Park Classroom

Well, if I was being completely honest, today is actually Day Four...
but I am blogging about Day Three.

It was LAMINATING DAY! {BIG} Sigh.
I HATE laminating day, it just means you have to
re-cut everything out again...by hand.
SOME of our {finished} laminating. 

I started cutting while Season continued to work on the cricut.
Eventually, my hands started to get a bit achy, so I switched and concentrated on
getting a bulletin board {at least one} completed...which I did.

'Treasure Hunt' will be a collection of students' outstanding work,
school assignments that really shine throughout the week will
be mounted under the corresponding subject.

{Treasure Hunt-  Close-Ups of Headings}

After that was done, I decided to complete the name tags for the students desk.
Using Echo Park's 'Splash' Collection {of course}and the Cricut
Cartridge 'Life's A Beach', we cut out tags for every student.  
Then I put their names on each one using the Alpha Stickers from 'Splash'.
{The Number is an organization thing for 'groups' and 'classroom jobs'}
{Couple of Close-Ups}
After that we went back to Sea's house and got back to cutting...
UGHH!
Most of it is done...and ready to put up.
I am excited to see everything come together.
Great Days, 
Jasmine

{PS- Tomorrow is the kid's charity Lemonade Stand
{for the United Way's Back to School Supplies Drive},
so today we are taking a little time off from
school work and concentrating on Baking.
Wish us Luck!

  3. Lucky sister and lucky kids to have such a pretty, well-designed classroom. Wow, that is a lot of trimming of laminate!

  4. WOW. I'm a middle school teacher and although I have a theme for my room (SpongeBob), it is nowhere NEAR as nice as your sister's classroom will be!
    Judging a book by its cover, I think your sister loves her job and loves her students. And I think you love your sister.
    Thanks for sharing and for inspiring!
