Diner Mania

Woohoo! Classroom decoration time! I don't know about the other teachers in school but I love it when it's time to decorate our classroom.

I originally thought of going with an Underwater theme because my class's country assignment is the Solomon Islands but I wanted something different this year. So, I spent a whole weekend looking for inspiration...and all I got were orange stars dancing in front of my eyes. Orange stars because I spent too much time on the computer. (heehee)

It's weird when you sometimes find what you were looking for when you're NOT looking for it. There was nothing good on the TV that night so I got into my rare "I've-got-to-organize-my-things" mood. I started with my digital pictures. I was going through my recent family pictures at Gram's Diner when it hit me. WHAM!(Ouch!) 1950s Diner theme!

Check it out!



What's a diner without the "Welcome" sign?




My mom, Kookee and Ethan helped me out (again) with decorating.
Here you can see my homework board labeled "Take-Out Counter."




Today's Specials = Diary Entries
What's Cooking = Subject Teacher's Workplan



Some institutional icons that all of the classrooms have to have.



I'm not too fond of cutting so I painted these on the wall with the help of an overhead projector.



House Specialties = Best Works of my advisory class




I was hoping to take more pics...but I was super tired. I spent three whole days making sure that my classroom was ready for the first day of school.
