I've been getting my room ready and thanks to Pinterest I'm well on my way there.
First off is just a poster about revision and editing. I see these all over on Pinterest as anchor charts. I laminated mine to keep up all year. It's a nice addition to my new writing program.
And secondly, with a little help from Claire, I made a sign for my door. I found this on Pinterest as well. I used burlap and paint, as I deduced from the picture. I cut my burlap into 10x3 strips and folded them in half to be 5x3. I had claire paint my paper pieces white, and after they dried I added the lines with sharpies and a light hand.
Then I painted on the letters. The pencil I cut the bottom to be a triangle and filled in the tip with a sharpie. We painted the body with yellow. I didn't opt for erasers, way too much work for a three year old.
The last step was threading through some white yarn to hang my banner. I glued the pieces in half with hot glue with this in mind and left the top bend unglued to form a whole for the yarn.
I hope these additions make for a fun and educational year!
