Sunny days are here with the start of another great school year! We are beaming with excitement over how this classroom kit came together. The trendy chevron is the perfect compliment to the clean grey and yellow color combo.

Use the letter cards for multiple purposes in your classroom. Create a colorful word wall and organize your small groups.
We don't quite know who the new little students will be in our classroom seats, but we do know we need to get organized before the first bell rings.
These large circle table tags are great for labeling your student tables.
We re-purposed an old spaghetti jar to make this "sharp" pencil vase. Clean out a used jar, hot glue unsharpened pencils (eraser side up) and fill with some beautiful flowers for the new teacher in your life.
The cute grey, black, and white organizational items were also found in the $1 section of Target.
Keep your day sunny with a set spot for your daily schedule. Post on a bulletin board or laminate and back with magnetic strips for your white board. Perfect for keeping track of your daily assignments and your schedule.
Remember to think outside of the box when it comes to decorating your bulletin boards. We love using wrapping paper to cover our boards. The graphic colorful prints offer a variety of choices, try using some bold polka dotted ribbon as border trim, it stores well and is inexpensive. Definitely a great way to design your classroom on a budget.
Having designated areas for supplies is a must for having a manageable classroom environment. Children thrive when they know where items belong and are shown how to properly care for things they will share with their classmates. These dainty, but inexpensive doilie inspired buckets are from IKEA and can serve many purposes in the classroom. We labeled them for sharpened and un-sharpened pencils. A great job for a class helper!
What a sunny disposition you'll have when your desk is neatly organized for the new year!
The
kit includes valuable printables like this Parent Communication Log. What an easy way of keeping up with all the ways that you might share information with the parents of your students.
The newsletter templates, lesson plan template, and substitute plans are also valuable pieces to this all around great kit for teachers.
We know those Sunny Days can turn stressful at this time of year too. So in the spirit of Winston Churchill we've taken the liberty to say, "Keep Calm and Teach On." Without the spirit of great teachers our days would be cloudy for sure.
Because we are full of back to school spirit, make sure to check back tomorrow for a free printable from this collection!
