I'm so excited to be able to share my first (and favorite) TPT product today. This year marks my 4th year teaching...which is crazy. I feel like I just started!!! My 1st year I was "Knox's Navigators" and I decorated my room with a variety of things from TPT and other places. My 2nd year I decided to switch it up and went for  "Mrs. Knox's Sweet Life" and focused on all my favorites--cupcakes and ice-cream. Last year, I decided I wanted to make something stylish, matching, and nautical that I could use for years to come. NO more changing..just adding and re-vamping. So, I created my pink and blue nautical class decor and I ADORE it!! 

There are so many pieces to this classroom set including an alphabet, class jobs, writing process, daily 5 materials, word wall letters, clip charts, name places, and others.  Here is a preview of the class jobs that are available. I can also add specific jobs that relate to your classroom. Just let me know! 

Below is a picture of how I use the nautical word wall letters in my classroom. First, I created a sailboat (which matches the sail boat clip art on the items) to be the center piece. The sail says "Sailing into New Words". I made mine with wrapping paper and scrapbook paper. I also used bulletin board paper from School Girl Style to help it match the bulletin boards..check out her paper HERE. I place the letters around the boat and each time we learn a new vocabulary word we place it on the wall. It grows throughout the year and the students love it!!

And what's a classroom without matching class shirts?!? Does your school order class t-shirts? This year our shirts featured a big anchor on the front with "Navigators" through the middle. At the bottom it looped around and says "Mrs. Knox's 2nd Grade". These shirts are perfect for class pictures, field trips, field day, and so much more. Plus, it makes us feel like a team!! 

Classroom decorating is so much fun. I can't wait to get to my new school and start decorating. I love seeing my students walk in on the first day and talk about the decorations and just know it's going to be a great year. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I am open to new ideas and ways to improve.
