Classroom Reveal 2016-2017

Hello everyone!

I love the superhero theme as my students can relate to it and I can use it in my lessons on social skills and other areas of learning. I had a subtle version of superhero theme last year, however I only had 1 day to put my classroom together.

Since I had more time this year, I added a Growth Mindset bulletin board above my whiteboard on top of the bricks and separated my big bulletin board on my side wall into 3 separate bulletin boards. I created a reading bench with a superhero themed cushion that I made. I moved things around so that my classroom had a better flow, and so I could design more flexible seating options.

Here are some grid pictures of my classroom. I did not want to overwhelm anyone with posting too many (causing the page to take FOREVER to load) so let me know if there is something in particular that you would like a closer look on.

Here is my classroom!

Ink is now my friend!

Hello again!

So I just learned about this amazing program that will save me A TON of money printing things from home. I am so excited about it because I have struggled with the decision to print materials in color or not for my students. Thanks to HP Instant Ink, I can now print whatever I want!


So here is how it works:

• Check if you have an eligible printer (found here). My printer was not eligible, but I got a great deal on an HP ENVY 4520

• After you have a printer you set up with the instant ink program based on how many pages you print each month. I chose the middle plan, as I have 6 students so I do not believe that I will print near 300 pages every month. Whatever your plan is, you can roll over what you do not print until it reaches the maximum (in my case 100 pages). Here is a picture of what the plans are (and how much money you can save!) Sign up here for a free month!

Best of all, until 9/18/16, you can get 3 months free using the code SCHOOL3. That means I have 3 free months that I can print as much as I want! Click the link to get started if you haven't already.

• After you are set up with the program, your printer will connect to the internet and tell HP when it needs more ink BEFORE you run out. They then send you ink and a prepaid envelope to send your used ink cartridges back to be recycled. So no need to run out to the store trying to get ink before the store closes to print out the last of those materials for your students. Not only is my wallet more full, but my time and sanity is saved!

I am so excited about my new printer, I just had to test it out. Yay! There will be many more colorful materials up in my classroom and more materials that my students can use to learn in an engaging way.

NOTE: I was not paid to share this information, I am just very excited and wanted to share with fellow teachers so they may save money as well.
