I know I am posting this after it is useful for this school year, but I am so excited about them I didn't want to wait until next winter (and it is still winter so I can leave them all up until winter ends!). I decorated all 4 of the doors in my classroom for the first time this year and each one was different. I wanted to avoid full holiday theme so I went with winter instead. I started with the snowman door (idea from where else but Pinterest!)
From here we decided to work on the Gingerbread entrances for our pod (we have buildings that house 5 classrooms called pods in Florida). We did both sides of the pod.
After all this I still had 2 doors left and thought it would be a shame to waste two perfectly doors. My co-worker was discussing how she would like to have a penguin door. So we talked out the plans on a car ride to work together one morning. I gave her a few days and the penguin did not appear in her room (and my curiosity was killing me to see if our plans would look right) so I made the penguin door.
I was excited and done with doors since I was out of non-holiday winter related ideas when another teacher who stopped by after a meeting said, "you should make a polar bear like the Coca-Cola bears." I am a girl who can't resist a challenge so after a few hours of pondering I had the plans and the next day the polar bear door was born.
I had lots of fun making all of my doors and my kids LOVE them! Looking forward to being more creative and decorating for all the seasons! I may make it my New
Years resolution and a new trend in Mrs. Coleman's Kindergarten. :)
