Blast off into the first week of school with this space-themed all about me foldable activity, designed to help you get to know your students. This printable resource is a fun alternative to a standard all about me worksheet. It is suitable for classroom use as part of your back-to-school activities, or send home as a transition activity over the summer break. In this set, each foldout displays a different letter so that students can complete one that matches their first initial. The inner section has meaningful questions on an outer space theme. The prompts Captain...... (children insert their name here) Age Things I love to the moon and back I'm a star at.... (for children to tell you what they are good at) My mission is to get better at... (for children to let you know areas that they might need extra help and support). Low prep! Print the pages you need on letter-sized paper (landscape). Students color the space scene, fill in their answers with words and pictures, then cut out and fold. No glue or tape required! Once folded, it can be closed to show the space scene and the first letter of their name, then opened to display their 'about me' answers inside. The questions and clipart cannot be changed/edited. A picture showing how to fold is included. US and UK paper size/spelling included. There are 26 pages black and white pages - one for each letter of the alphabet. What educators are saying: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This went great to kick off my Outer Space unit on the first day of school. They really enjoyed the activity and they each presented the information about themselves to the class'. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This was a perfect first day of school activity. It was also a good way to kick off our science for the year since we study the solar system. The kids loved it! Thank you for sharing.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐'This was a fun addition to our classroom theme this year! The students enjoyed the space theme activity to share about themselves. The folding to have their initial on the front is so cute!'

Creating a calm classroom environment is more important than ever. Since classrooms can be such a busy place, many of our students (and their teachers) long for a serene environment that calms their senses. That's why I thought I'd put together a series of classroom design mood boards filled with ways to create a calming classroom environment. You'll find that the mood boards include muted colors, flexible seating, lighting alternatives, cozy textures, and motivational messages. The idea is to create a space that helps students feel calm and ready to learn. I have even more classroom decor ideas in this FREE Back to School Guide for teachers. Grab it here. Each mood board is meant to create a relaxed and serene learning environment. You'll even notice that the mood boards have some common elements. For instance, most mood boards include... A classroom rug - Even in a middle school classroom, a rug is one of the quickest ways to make your classroom more appealing. Once the rug is in your classroom, you can use it for class meetings, a work area, a comfy reading corner, a space for partners to work together...the options are endless! Fun classroom chairs - I love the idea of including at least two chairs in the classroom. In my own classroom, the special chairs were part of my homework incentive program. Students worked all week long to complete their homework so that they could sit in the special chair. But, chairs are also great for flexible seating options, spaces for partners or groups to work together, a "sharing" chair, and so much more! Hanging decor - Whether it's a fun banner, paper lanterns, tissue paper poofs, or 3-D shapes, an inexpensive and fun way to decorate the classroom is with something that you can hang. Imagine displaying your banner along a bulletin board or chalkboard. Or, perhaps you can string the lights in front of your teacher desk. The options are endless and the impact is huge. Here's a tip: once you find the hanging decor you like, purchase several of them. Having multiple sets will have more of an impact. Quote Poster - There's nothing better than a little inspiration in the classroom. So, each mood board includes a quote poster. These are great to hang on your classroom door, at the front of the classroom, or even in the center of a bulletin board. If you're up for it, I'd suggest getting the posters in the biggest size possible. The bigger the poster, the more classroom real estate it will take up, and the quicker your classroom will be designed. A lamp - If you're looking to change the feel of your classroom, a lamp will do it! Whether it's a floor lamp that you can place on your rug with the chairs or a table lamp that you can set out on your desk, there's just something so cozy about lamps! If you'd like, you can even purchase a couple of lamps to spread out around the classroom. Then, you can make it a habit to turn off those florescent overhead lights...what a difference! Storage baskets - What's a classroom without storage, right? Well, if you're thinking of getting storage containers, I've included a few inspiration pieces on each design board. Fun design elements - You'll find unique elements on each design board, too. Those have been added to provide even more fun ideas to tie in your classroom theme. About the classroom decor items: The items that I've placed on the mood boards are selected with a teacher's budget in mind. That means that I really tried my best to ensure that the items were reasonably prices. Oh, and since they're sourced from Amazon, there's a chance that you'll be able to put some of the elements on a school purchase order. Of course, the mood boards are mainly intended for inspiration.
