While you are waiting...


The bathrooms are right across the hall from my room(eww..the smell!) on the 3rd & 4th grade hall.  The kids line up outside my room for bathroom breaks.  Well, I noticed that some teachers & students were looking at, talking about, and using my math investigation day poster I put outside my door.  So, I decided I'd give them something else to look at & study.  

It says...  "WHILE YOU'RE STANDING IN A ROW HERE'S SOME ART FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW!"  

Under it I hung up an Elements of Art & a Principles of Design poster that I just received in our new book series our district adopted!   Hopefully while they are waiting...they'll take some time to look at & apply the elements & principles.

  1. Awesome! Sneaky learning while they are waiting. You could go a step further and laminate some stuff for INSIDE the restroom too;)

  3. If I did Beth...I would have posted them! I'm going to try to retake it...if I can get a better shot, I replace the one that is presently up.

  5. I hope you don't mind. I posted a link to this over on my bulletin board blog. My classroom is across the hall from the little boys's room, so I can relate. What a great idea.

  6. I agree with D., Ted. Ican just see your one-point perspective and value posters on the inside of the stall doors.......Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!

  7. What a great idea! I might do something like this just for outside my door to spruce it up a bit... My school is all gray!

  8. I think this is great. My room is also right by bathrooms. They all line up outside my room. I also have thought about hanging things IN the bathroom as well as to the door inside the stalls.
