Easy Classroom Setup with Fun Classroom Decor Bundles

It's mid-July and we are now past Independence Day, which means it's the time of year we start seeing back to school stuff everywhere. I know that makes us teachers do a deep sigh, as we just want to enjoy our last few weeks of summer. However, this is also a great time to start getting things ready for the next year before the insanity of in-service and professional development starts.

I've been working on projects like purposeful morning work for the entire year, (get yours here!), and setting up task boxes for small groups. I'm really excited about my new task boxes, and plan to share them with you after I'm back in my classroom this fall.

All of that purposeful planning takes time, so today, I wanted to share lots of classroom decor and organizational items in several fun themes to make your classroom setup a breeze. Whether you want something whimsical and cute, or a little more sophisticated, I have decor you're sure to love!

I offer the components individually, and also as part of money-saving bundles. Each of my themes is available in two smaller bundles; one is geared toward early childhood, with things like alphabet, shapes, and color posters; the other, called my teacher organization bundle, has labels, name plates, and the like, and is appropriate for all of elementary. Or, save even more and buy the complete bundle, with all of the resources in each theme! There are also some great coordinating freebies like welcome banners and file, grade, and copy labels, so make sure to check them out in my TPT store!

These classroom decor items make classroom setup so simple--just print and go, and you've got a totally coordinated classroom, with everything from job charts to birthday calendars to teacher toolbox labels. Many of the components are even editable, to make life easier for you! What's better than a darling, coordinated, welcoming classroom with as little effort as possible? That classroom environment is so important, but easy setup allows you to focus on what's truly vital: planning quality education for your learners.


Currently, I have 9 themes available in my store:

Yellow, Teal, and Gray--my bestselling theme! It's simple, pretty, and classy. Great for upper elementary!

Chalkboard decor is all the rage right now! I love this clean look for any grade level.

Is there anything more classic for early childhood than primary colors?

I love this versatile popcorn theme! Use as-is, or pair it with circus animals or movie and film decor!

Who wouldn't love some mischievous monkeys to liven up their classroom?

This comic book theme is fun for all ages, and a hit with teachers whose style isn't so "cutesy".

Check out this Candy Shop themed decor to lend a whimsical feel to your classroom!

This colorful decor pack is fresh and bright!

This black and white classroom decor is perfect for when you don't have access to a color printer, but still want a cute room!

I hope you enjoy these classroom decor themes, and if you have any ideas for future themes, leave them in the comments!

Pre-K Morning Work for the ENTIRE School Year

I have been working so hard on this resource since school got out, and I am thrilled to announce that it is finally live! Throughout the school year, I spend way too much planning time finding morning work that covers the skills my students need to practice, finding myself piecing it all together a page or two at a time. This year, I decided that one of my big summer break projects would be to create an all-inclusive packet of morning work that covers literacy, math, fine-motor, and science skills.

I also knew I wanted it to be no-prep and low-mess. I say "low" mess because there are cutting practice sheets included, where students practice cutting on a line, but there are NO cut-and-paste activities!!! Pre-K kiddos do not need to be messing with glue first thing in the morning, am I right? Somehow they even make huge sticky messes with glue sticks, so I decided to avoid those types of activities all together.

This packet has 200 pages of activities--more than enough to give your students something new every morning! Of course, you can also repeat pages as often as necessary to meet your students' needs.

What I am most excited about in this packet are the editable name activities. Type in your class list ONE time, and automatically generate 4 different name activity pages for each student--how cool is that?! Such a time-saver, too; I used to type in each kid's name multiple times for tracing practice. Now it will only take about 5 minutes to have sheets ready for my whole class.

I can't wait to put this to use this fall in my classroom, and I hope you find it useful, too! Get your morning work packet here in my shop or here in my Teachers Pay Teachers store!
