KISS, keep it simple stupid

Overwhelmed by shelves gone wild? Have you ever reached a point when your home or classroom shelves begin to explode? I really never thought I would, but here I am with this:




My kiddos have basically stopped using this area because the shelves have become too overwhelming. Now don't get me wrong, I love having so many beautiful resources, but too much is too much!

So I turned my shelf to utilize the space better and simplified. Two days later the literacy area is one of the go to spots in the class. I think this is an easy fix, simplify and they will come.







As my very smart dad is fond of saying "keep it simple stupid!" A reminder that has served my kiddos well this week.

S Snake

Snakes are a regular occurrence here in the jungle. We see snakes slither across our outdoor hallway with some frequency, so the kiddos have a personal connection to them. This was reflected in lots of patterns, smiles, and familiarity.

V Vase

We could just as easily have done V Valentines, but the vase came out nicely too. I might try and use ribbon or paper strips to create the stems next year, that way it will be more clear that the V is the container for the flowers. Don't forget the complete set of black line masters for A-Z are available at my store, just follow this link: Http:www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Alphabet-Collage-Book-Upper-Case-1535454
