Back to School

 Okay... I have been such a slacker on keeping this up but made a promise to myself that would update each weekend this school year!  I want to be able to share all the wonderful ideas and crafts we do in my class this year.  I moved classrooms this year so now I am a Growing Giraffe and I had to think of all new classroom ideas!  I decided this year to make my own calendar headers and numbers with colorful giraffe paper I had.  I also used the paper for my kids name plates, backpack hangers, behavior chart and much more!  I teach at a church so they ask that our classroom doors be fun and cute yet combine a biblical sense to them.  What can you do with giraffes?!?!?  I quickly decided over the Summer... "Come on in... God has a spot for you!"  My door has a big giraffe on it covered in spots with each child's name on them.  Makes perfect sense!  We start back this Wednesday and I can't wait to share our fun year with you!  For now... here are a few pictures of my classroom!
