Harry Potter Classroom Theme

Harry Potter Themed Classroom 2012-2013

This is a view of my back wall. Each board is a different house color. Red - Gryffindor, Blue - Ravenclaw, Yellow - Hufflepuff, Green - Slytherin
The shields were made by former students. Each sign is a quote from the Harry Potter Books.
This is my teacher area. The bulletin board is Platform 9 3/4. The Reading signs cover each Reading Skill written in Harry Potter font.
Reading Center - Pinterest idea for benches. Milk crates connected by tie straps with a cushion top. Student Work will be shown on the "Wand"erful Work board.
6 Traits +1 writing boards. Azkaban time out area. This is the table for my interventionist.
Another View of the back wall.

Computers on the window sill. SOAR is a lists for interventionist groups and is made like a Quidditch field.
Decorated Shelves in Teacher Area. Postions, Hogwarts, Herbology, Honeydukes.
Teacher Desk Area. Cookie sheets are spray painted. Red - Expectations, Blue - Schedule, Purple - I Do, We Do, You Do (TAP), Yellow - Whole Groups CHAMPS, Green - Stations CHAMPS
Common Room Area, where students report each day for lunch cards, supplies, etc.
Helper Chart on the Door "House Elves"
Azkaban Wanted Posters decorate the cabinets.
Hall Passes in the house colors!

Will post more close up pictures in another blog post!

  2. I love this idea! However, talking with colleagues they warn me of a backlash from parents, because of the "witch" association. Have you had any issues?
