As I said a few weeks ago, I was in the middle of redecorating my classroom. I am OBSESSED with animal print! I just think it is too cute. The past four years my classroom has been "kid-colored themed" with everything being red, yellow, blue, and green. This year I decided to change my theme to animal print (hence the name "Wild in Room 111") and began redecorating my room a few weeks ago. So far my students are LOVING the new changes. I am not done yet, but as I said in an earlier post, I will post some pictures of my progress so far. To see all of my redecoration changes and for ideas on organizing your classroom,

| This is a picture of the wall behind my desk. That is an animal print plastic table cloth I got at Walmart for 99 cents! I am using it to display my days of the week and months posters and some outstanding student work. |

| This picture is of my student mailboxes. I had some old cardboard "bankers" mailboxes that I have had for the last four years. However, they were pretty battered and beaten up from having four different classes using them and suffering a move from Gary to Lafayette. So, I decided instead of spending a ton of money on a nice wooden one (though it is still on my wishlist for next year's supply order), I bought animal print duct tape to cover the old blue cardboard. |

| Going along with my animal print theme, I found some animal print scrapbook paper on Oriental Trading. I folded each piece in half, labeled it with a genre, and laminated it. Now I use these as separators for my books so I can easily find books according to their genre. |
