If your to-do list is already a mile long this term, here is your friendly reminder: you do not need to redecorate your entire classroom for fall. I know how tempting...

I loved the letters and the download process was easy and now they look beautiful in my second grade class. Thank you again.
Thank you so much! So glad the download was easy and that the letters look beautiful in your second grade classroom. I really appreciate your lovely feedback!
I wanted a visual way to display classroom jobs for my kindergarten class, and this was it!
Pros:
Bright, fun colors matches my classroom aesthetic
Text can easily be edited
Extra cards so that you can add your own jobs as needed
Images provide lots of context for littles who can't read yet
Cons:
Flexibility-I did wish for a little more flexibility so that I could rearrange the order and not have to print EVERYTHING on a page to use one of the jobs, and so that I could rearrange the order I displayed my jobs in without losing the rainbow order.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase and excited to get these on the wall!
Hi Megan, I'm so glad you love the bright colors and flexibility of the display! Your feedback about rearranging the jobs is appreciated and helps us improve. Enjoy decorating your classroom!
Recently I was changed from a jr high/ high school science history snd reading teacher to elementary sped.
I downloaded due to time limitations and no accessibility to make a purchase. I loved the material. However, I was wanting plant life snd in one item it was rainbow so that won’t work but could maybe use in future years.
Then not only did I have a week to transition but our part of the school flooded when the roof which was being repaired collapsed due to a sudden intense rain storm. Which delayed printing the items in color
How can I send pictures when I finish the room
Ps The school is in an impoverished rural community in Northwest Louisiana
So very grateful
Hi Gilen, thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story. I'm glad you loved the resources, and I completely understand the challenges you've faced. I’d love to see pictures once your room is ready! You can simply send the photos to us through our website or DM us on social media. Wishing you the best as you settle into your new role and space. Feel free to reach out anytime.
I’m going into my 6th year and decided I wanted a more cohesive bundle. Bees and pastels have always been my thing and this bundle checks all the boxes! It is so aesthetically pleasing while also supporting learning. Sometimes cute things take away from the purpose of instructional/display materials, but not these! I love that there are so many options for each item so that you can really tailor it to your grade level. I’m also so impressed with their customer service! Shout out to Kesh- I had a question about an editable Canva resource and they provided me with an edited PDF to solve my issue. I cannot recommend this resource enough!
Hi Liz, thank you so much for such a wonderful review! It truly means so much. Wishing you a fantastic 6th year of teaching with your new decor!
