Back To School

I’ve spent all week so far setting up my fifth grade classroom and haven’t cooked a darn thing. I entered my classroom mid-year this past January and didn’t have the opportunity to imprint the room with any of my own pizazz. But this year! Vintage fabric is strewn about and my tidy sense of deep-down organization and lively design will be invading the room. Not a fan of the half-butt and an admirer of spatial efficiency, I needed to cover closet doors of worn out wood with some inspiring messages and color, color, color! After some mishaps with some contact paper from the 1970’s, I thought it best to order a few feel-good but politically-charged posters from Northern Sun, a company that used to outfit me in my idealistic rebel teenager days. Then I moved on to Etsy for some wall art that was a bit more unique. Etsy always has deliciously wonderful prints, the kind I can peruse for hours smiling. Given my meager funds, I chose to replicate my own feel-good, life-is-beautiful prints in photoshop. Below is the series 1. Now to find a good printer… 

This one below will not go up in my classroom, but I wanted to make it anyway. It is a fascinating tidbit of science-love from the American physicist Lawrence Krauss.
