It said "I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to hogwarts school of WItchcraft and Wizardry". The rest of the letter was about my website, twitter, and Summer Reading info.

It reminded me of how the ceiling of the Great Hall would be representative of the night sky. Since I wasn't allowed to paint my classroom ceiling (believe me I asked) it was the next best way to incorporate that idea.

Thank you for your pictures, post, and ideas. I work at an international school and I am the only 4th/5th grade teacher in the school. So instead of having a team to collaborate with, I rely on Pinterest and great blogs like yours for inspiration!

I absolutely love my Harry Potter theme and reading the books with my kids (yes, I call them my kids). I wish the idea for the theme was mine but the credit goes to my good buddy Kelly. It has evolved over the years with a HUGE overhaul last summer. <br /><br />However, I still have some interesting additions up my sleeve for the new school year. Keep checking in for more HP ideas. <br /><br />-Damien The Reading Buddieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866395318608994725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186778226216951107.post-91449076278507250412013-07-11T22:10:32.821-04:002013-07-11T22:10:32.821-04:00You do such an amazing job!

The kids really like that they can earn house points to earn a behavior party. I was happy to see that I wasn't the only one that used "HOGWARTS" as a house (everyone I teach with thought I was silly)! I believe I will be purchasing your magical behavior off TpT. I like it so much better than my card system! Thanks for sharing!!!

My mum is a great help to me, but I have never had so many people helping me out. It looks great! and I'm so excited to see how you have used some of my ideas. You have put loads of work into the classroom and it will certainly pay off. <br />How is your new class enjoying it? <br />:) M agreattitle@blogspot.comMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292323242971973047noreply@blogger.com
