Robot Classroom Theme

So I have to start back at the beginning...where I left off seven years ago--mainly because I feel my entire style of Classroom décor has evolved.  This school year I went with a robot/science type of theme.  As always, I drew from tons of different brands and resources to put my theme together.  Unfortunately, most of these décor packs are no longer carried by their main suppliers, however, a quick search shows plenty of gear/robot inspired items still out their!  Most of my bulletin board pieces came from:  Robot Talkers by Carson Dellosa, Riveting Robots by Creative Teaching Press, Dollar Tree Décor packs, Oriental Trading, Pacon Bordette and things I carry in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.  This theme was so fun to put together.  I would really like to revisit it now incorporating more of STEM/STEAM angle.  It is definitely still relevant today!

These were SO fun to make!  I used a silicone robot mold and melted old crayons down into new, fabulous robot crayons!

The nametags and bookmarks are from my TPT store.

I wish I had a link to the giant robot bulletin board corner huggers because I ADORED them, however, they were from the Dollar Tree.

Just a quick Sneak Peek...a bit of a Classroom Reveal

It has been almost a month...I know...no excuse other than I felt I had to cut back on my computer time...so my blog was the one to go.  But I just HAD to share how my classroom is shaping up!  I'm not done...at all. I have a million things I still want to finish...but here's a look at some of the beginning work.  These pictures show it in varying stages of completion!

One of my first jobs--covering my bulletin boards with paper...covered that bookshelf with contact and duck tape...put up vinyl owl clings around the room...and made my deco-mesh wreath.

Next I put up my alphabet line--this is from my TPT store.  I hole punched them and connected them with mini colored brads.

I also covered my cardboard divider with black butcher paper and chevron duck tape.  I use this divider to make the computers NOT visible--otherwise they are too distracting.

I hung up my behavior clip chart, and made tiny clothespins for each student...

I made the magnets for my lunch/milk count boards.

I added the multi-colored background paper to my LONG bulletin board...though I still have not put words on it!

I started (but never finished) my calendar board...

Even though I spent WEEKS making my owl schedule cards...I ended up using my same ones from last year out of pure laziness...My schedule hasn't been made yet, so these are just stuck on here...also notice my owls by my clock!

I started my bulletin boards--I've done my birthday board, job board, and library/prayer board...close ups to come another day!

Notice I put my name tags on the FRONT of my desks--saves on the life of them!

You can't totally see it, but I jazzed up my mailboxes with some neon colored duck tape--my daughter's are in love with it!

And finally...

My door--these little owls took me two whole days--not going to lie.  I used my Tiny Hoots clip art to make an outline template...that printed, cut, and glued all the pars together!  My background paper is a special wrapping paper I found at TJ Maxx...and I am HOOKED!   This will be my door paper until eternity if I can continue to find it!  It was the perfect size--no trimming the edges, and it was paperless paper...made of stone.  It feels, cuts, and lays AMAZINGLY!

When I finish, I will take more detailed shots, these are just my hubby-pics.  Whenever I am at school working, I snap pics of what I worked on so I can show him when I get home!  :)
