RoundUP Review of Miscellaneous School Resources

WELCOME! It's a Potpourri RoundUP!

It's time for a new RoundUP of lots of miscellaneous 'views' that I've seen over the last couple of months on my school visits as Author Illustrator. I have gathered up a new go-round of images that would have fit in earlier RoundUPs reported here. I'm going to share the 'new' image and then give you a link to an earlier article where this idea reminds me of others on the same theme. 

I see that my earlier article on classroom doors is now my #1 read article here of all time! Here are some 'new' decorated doors for your inspiration.

Right up there at the top of my Top 10 list of favorites is the one with dozens and dozens of bulletin board ideas. Here's several more that could help inspire further just like the tons of ideas in that earlier RoundUP.

Here are some new word wall presentations.
This first one incorporates student photographs.

This variation is the ULTIMATE in flexible and has the words being added on post-it notes to follow the classroom's color scheme.

Next up from a kindergarten room in the greater Denver area -- 
a word wall with "environmental" print additions in logo style.

Don't you just love these name-mosaics?
They would be an awesome addition to a unit 
"All About Me."

I was just fortunate to meet Deanna Jump of Mrs. Jump's Class at the Orlando SDE Kindergarten Conference last week. She had oodles of anchor charts and glyphs to share with her captive, standing room only audience. Here's one of her projects to support expanding on "Pete the Cat." Do you LUV his shoes? You know how I feel about orange, right?

Now for an oh-so-clever three dimensional pop-up of pigs! 
I'm such a fan of pigs and have my own "Piggy Rap." 
Should this go into a RoundUP or fold-ables or pigs?
[Note to self: make a new RoundUP of foldables for this Friday's Fine Motor Fun.]

And in conclusion, here's such an awesome bulletin board of Happy Campers. This was at Seven Hills in Cincinati -- earlier this fall. Don't ya just LUV it?

*** It would have been the PERFECT bulletin board back last spring in Worthington -- click here to see the entire program on a camping theme -- complete with indoor tents! The variety of fire pits were my top fave.
