DESIGN ON A DIME

I was "visiting" some of my old blogs and found these ideas for your classroom that might rival HGTV.

How about addition facts on the stairs? The science vocabulary leads to the upper grades. Letters, numbers, shapes and so many skills could “step up” learning.



What a clever idea to use a real picture frame to display children’s artwork!


And you know how much kids love to look at themselves in a mirror. You could put a full-length mirror in each hall with a positive word or character trait.




Showtime on the Smart Board! (KIRPC Head Start, Indiana)
Take some sheets, tie the ends with ribbons, and then hang it on hooks around the smart board.


Out the Door (Nacine Barrow)
Encourage the children to bring in environmental print and post them along with sight words on your door. Students have to read two of the words before exiting the classroom.



Chalk Board Table
Is this cool? Ms. Smalls found an old table they were going to throw away. She painted the top with chalkboard paint and let the children write special messages, draw pictures, write sight words, etc. on it. The kids LOVED it!
