Amazing Teacher Store!

If you are in the Middle TN area, or are planning a trip this way...you need to drop by The Learning Circle in Murfreesboro, TN (South of Nashville on 24...and the home of MTSU).  I think my teacher friends need to plan a field trip there next year before school starts.  IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm planning to go "AROUND THE WORLD" this year (2nd -4th 9 weeks)...and was looking for display items.  The staff was super helpful and gave me many suggestions. MNPS folks...you can use a purchase order!!  They are an approved vendor, and I believe will deliver for orders over $100.

Crayon Border

My students always ask......"Are those real crayons?"

The answer is "YES!"  Many many years ago...a restaurant went out of business in our area.  They donated all of their 4 packs of crayons to our school.  There were HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS of boxes.  There was no real reason I needed all of them for coloring purposes.  So I decided to create a fun border/backsplash for my counter.  

It was pretty easy to do.  I cut cardboard to be a bit shorter than the crayons...and slathered it with craft/tacky glue.  I then rolled out the crayons and lined them up with the word crayons facing me.  They've lasted through three room changes!!!  A fun & festive DIY for the art room!
