The Core of Learning

So many teachers find themselves stumped at the beginning of the school year, wondering what to put on their door to welcome students to class. Here is an idea that will also tie into the apple themes that always kick off the semester! Here are the products I used...

• PAC56518 - Weathered Wood 48"X12' Fadeless Paper
• CD108004 - Pop Apart Apple & Black Check Trimmer
• FST5257 - 5" Lowercase Fancy Font Punch Out Letters
• T10834 - Discovery Apple Mini Accents
• TF8001 - Big Apple Puzzle BBS

The trimmer I used is actually a pop apart trimmer by Carson Dellosa. It is actually 2 trimmers in one, so you get a lot of product for your bucks! Here I only used one side of it, but the other side is adorable as well! I used the small apple cutouts as accents for the letters. The large apple is actually a puzzle! If you've checked out any of my other posts, you might have seen it used in a different way. This set is versatile and you will find many ways to use it in your classroom too!

Apple Puzzle

What better way to welcome students to your room than with a board that lets them know how essential they are to the success of the entire class?

• TF8001- Welcome! Apple Puzzle
• T10834- Apples Discovery Mini Accent Variety Pack

I used the mini apples as a trimmer for this board since straight border is impossible to use on a circular board. :)
