Funny Posters for the English Classroom


I was SUPER busy and overworked last year so I had to put aside making new things, blogging, basically anything creative had to fall by the wayside. I really missed it! :(

However, now that the school year is over for me (YAY!) I have been able to start a new routine that involves creating things again! I have a list a mile long of ideas of things I wanted to create for my classroom (and potentially yours) that I am slowly working my way through.

One thing I wanted to make sure I had ready to go for next year was fun and bright decorations for my classroom. There are not a lot of options out there for the secondary English classroom in terms of decorations (Believe me I have looked). They are either really cheesy or everything is surrounded by woodland creatures (Note: I have nothing against woodland creatures). 

I finally decided that it was time for me to make my own. I figured that at least that way I could put a humorous spin on them!


I am going to have these printed and displayed in my classroom in a few different ways. 


1. I am going to have a few turned into: Vista Print Window Decals

I have not tried having a window decal made yet so I am excited to see how it turns out. I think I will try to have some of the pink/purple ones done in a window decal so that the sun will really make them brighten up the room!


2. A few will be turned into: Vista Print Car Door Magnets
I have had some car magnets made there before and I LOVE them. They are bright, shiny, and were quality made. I love that they have held up from year to year.  

3. I think I am going to get all the posters turned into a: Walmart Poster Collage that I can hang by my desk (or maybe in my house for fun).

4. The remaining posters I plan to have printed into: Walmart 8x10 prints. These are only $2.84! I can get dollar store frames and hang them around my classroom with command strips or hot glue!

I'll write another post once I decorate my classroom later this summer!

Short Stories from a Middle School Teacher: Gold Stars

Gold Stars One of my favorite things to do my third year of teaching was team teach. The Civics and Economic teacher and I would put our classes together regularly so we could create cross curricular stations and activities for the kids. The arrangement worked out great because, even though there were more kids in the room, the kids were less willing to act up with two authority figures in the room. One day the Civics teacher’s side of the room was going downhill and fast, while my side of the room was behaving like angels. Finally, he called out, “Whoever is being good will get a gold star!” (Amazingly 8th graders coveted these stars like none other). The room got completely silent and without missing a beat one of the students on my side of the room said, “You mean like Hitler did to the Jewish people?” I suppressed my laughter and thought to myself, “Yes, finally they are retaining true things about WWII!” Then I thought to myself, “Too bad I don’t teach history.”
