Deck the Classroom!

December 18, 2014 by Rachel

I love everything about Christmas!

And I love bringing that into the classroom!

I bought a full size tree on sale last year after Christmas.

I couldn’t wait to put it up!

Of course, I decked it out in our classroom colors!

We have a countdown every day in December to do different activities!
(Find this free countdown in my TPT Store)

And of course, you have to have a countdown to Christmas Day!

They were super easy to make!

Cut strips of white paper and rolled on a pencil.
