Well here it is, SUMMER, and if you are reading this you are doing what teachers do best – thinking about school! It’s a blessing and a curse. So, if you are going to be thinking about school and getting prepared for next year – then you might as well have some fun doing it! I’m so glad you found the Summer Stock-Up!When it comes to setting up my classroom I, like you, put a lot of thought into what I my room to look like and feel like. My goal is always to make an inviting and comfortable room for my students. When I moved to kindergarten I spent lots of time thinking about my decor. I finally decided on an Eric Carle theme. I LOVE Eric Carle – his books, his illustrations, really just everything about him! I hit the internet and was really disappointed that there was not much out there in the classroom decor category. So I decided I would just make it myself. The result is my Eric Carle Inspired Classroom Theme.
I have tried to include everything a teacher could want in this theme. As a teacher myself who is always looking for a good deal, I try to be mindful of the teacher budget. This is why I have each item separate in my store. This way you only have to buy the items that you will use in your classroom. For those that want it all, I have bundled the items together with a discount for the bundle. So here’s a glimpse of just a few items in the Eric Carle Inspired classroom theme.
There’s many other components to this theme. I have each of these classroom items available individually and in a bundle that allows you to save over 20%. The bundle even has some bonus items that you can’t buy individually. I even have many of the resources available in Spanish too! You can find them all by clicking on the caterpillar below!
This is one of my Pinterest finds! The caterpillar adorns the corner of the room! |
Here’s a few pictures of how I used this theme in my classroom. I used the resources I created and also things I could find in teacher stores and online.
I used old Eric Carle book jackets to hand from the ceiling and on the wall. I love the Hungry Caterpillar comforter as a rug. I found a similar comforter online. Click here to see it. |
In the hallway I hung the Welcome to Kindergarten banner. The animals on the wall are reusable wall decals. You can find them on Amazon by clicking here. |
Here’s my Word Wall using the Alphabet Cards from my TpT store. The cards come in 3 different sizes. The Eric Carle border I found at a local teacher store. |
