They'll also be learning about New Year's Day traditions and lots of new-year vocabulary and calendar words will be encountered in context as they read it. Your students will love reading it to have some jokes to share. And you can use them as icebreakers. It is available in Kindle #ad and paperback #ad.

Buffalo Plaid Classroom Decor Ideas

This post is a growing listing of Buffalo Plaid Classroom Decor Ideas that are perfect for an elementary classroom.  A Buffalo Plaid theme or lumberjack plaid theme is very homey and red. It is totally fine to mix both the red and black plaid with the black and white plaid. They complement each other. I think you can call it a lumberjack plaid but there are tons of other lumberjack plaid patterns out there.

Store pencils or markers in these cute pails (#ad). These other little buckets (#ad) are really tiny and can probable only hold chalk or crayon stubs, lol. They are super cute though.

Have a buffalo plaid reading nook with throw pillows (#ad) and rugs (#ad) to match this theme.


The most out-of-the-box thing I've seen so far is this awesome writing bulletin board display created by a second grade teacher. 
It reads 'Tall Tales in 2nd Grade'.

About Me

My photo
As a Caribbean primary school teacher, I share my unique classroom with the world through this blog. Readers step into my class through the pictures, articles and classroom samples of games and lessons used in my class. I have been teaching since 2005 at the std. 4 primary level in Trinidad and Tobago. I am particularly interested in sharing my own personal lesson plans, tests and activities. Teachers need to share ideas and support each other because in doing so, we help to educate our students and develop ourselves as teachers. Technology is ever evolving and we as teachers should get on board with it, collaborate and keep up to date with this new age that we live in. Our students belong to this technological era and we must embrace opportunities to learn from each other in this global community. I also love to express my creativity in the classroom. I am a bit of a craftster . So I'm always cutting, gluing or making something... a game, a chart, a learning center, etc. So, teachers and parents, feel free to stop by and see what's new at Nyla's Crafty Teaching!
