New Awesome 80s Classroom Theme Products! Team signs, Alphabet, Word Wall Cards, and Student Numbers!


First up are my classroom team signs!  I just love these colorful cheetah prints!  Reminds me of all those old Lisa Frank binders I used to have in the late 80s & early 90s.  The plan for my room is to use the circles with these fun hanging fans from Party City.
Multi Color Hanging Fan 6in 5ct - Party City
The rectangles will be perfect for my team tubs and the squares I'm going to put on some cubbies.  :)


I have also been working on a fun 80s theme alphabet.


This alphabet is one of my favorites!  They're full sized 8.5 x 11 posters and come in print as well as cursive.






I've also put together these cute student numbers that go from 1-100.



Word Wall Cards!  Aren't these cute with the little yellow Chucks???  This file also comes with programmable cards for a cohesive look.




Hope you like them!

Dr. Seuss Weather Board



I had a request for this product and had a lot of fun making it!  Now you and your kiddos can have fun predicting the weather with these Seussy weather cards.  The file comes with a header poster and 10 different weather options.



I've also made an update to an older product:  Days of the Week & Months of the Year.  I added cards that say "Today is...", "Tomorrow will be..." and "Yesterday was..."


I love getting requests from my followers!  If you have any ideas for me PLEASE email me at teachingsweetshoppe@gmail.com

Organizing My Science Materials

So I have just finished organizing all my science materials FOR THE YEAR!  This past year was my first year in fourth grade and it took me almost all year to decide how I wanted to do my science block.  



About 7 years ago, our county purchased an AWESOME science program.  The following year the state changed the standards and our science program became basically useless.  :(  I think there are 3 chapters in the whole textbook that I can use...  This year I've supplemented with The Science Penguin's resources and I've loved it!  



First, I printed everything and as well as some covers for my binders.






I went ahead and laminated what I needed to and cut them ahead of time.  I sorted out the materials by unit rather than by product.

Next,  I created some dividers for my binders.  I used these Post-It labels & they were perfect.  







Then, I sorted all my materials into their sections. :)

I bought these 5.5 quart tubs from Home Depot and labeled them with my unit titles.  




There were some items, like task cards & science stations that I didn't want to hole punch, so I put them in their own sleeve or envelope and placed them in the base if the bins.  







For the covers of these, I pre-laminated them and them taped them to the front.  Inside are all the materials.



Finally, I just popped on the lids and was ready to go!  It feels so good to be ready for next year.  If you've never heard of The Science Penguin, head over to her blog or store - she's amazing! :)
