My Jungle Classroom!

OK so here is a view of my classroom.  I'm very excited to have a Jungle/Safari theme this year.  I spent the entire month of August planning and decorating and I'm quite pleased with how it all turned out!  (Now you know why my blog is a safari theme)

Now let's dig a little further into some areas:
The Reading Hut is by far my favorite part of the classroom.  My husband designed it and then built it all on his own, of course I gave him my thoughts during the ENTIRE process too :)






















I bought zebra sheet sets at Walmart and my mom used them to sew body pillow covers!  Very thrifty and easy too!  My daughter "J" helped put the animals around the hut and placed the cutouts on the hut too :)

This is where our Reading Buddies go.  The kids can choose "a buddy" (beanie baby animal) to read to while they are in the reading hut.  It was just an over the door shoe organizer that I screwed into the wall.






















This is my Circle Area
This is where my kiddos b-days are placed.























Here is my Jungle Jobs Board






















I just made their names and job labels through word.  You can also see my class schedule, this was also made from Word clipart.

 Here is the sign-in area and the students mailboxes.

















My mom sewed the curtains and table skirt from the sheet set I mentioned about earlier.


















 Here is the "Wild About families" wall that we just decorated with foam frames the children decorated!

  1. What did you use as the wall covering in your reading hut?

  2. My husband found it at Home Depot by the tiki torches and summer items. Sorry I can't remember the name.
