"Life is a Highway"

I know that I am not the only teacher with a race car inspired classroom, but I just wanted to share my take on it. Just as many other teachers use the race care theme, I also use it but I also integrate the lingo, visuals, and feeling in almost everything that I do.

My students are my drivers. Their desks are set up in lanes. They work as my Pit Crew. We even have "street signs" with The Seven Habits of Happy Kids. At the beginning if the school year I ask parents/guardians to fill out a "Driver Profile" about their child to give me their child's fav's.

I also love that my classroom appeals to not only boys but also girls and I enjoy being in the bright and fun space. I am happy to share my photos below. P.s. I am very happy about the way I covered my desk with white contact paper and race car checkered flag Duck Tape. It really gave it a fresh new look. The funny thing is is that like most teachers I hardly ever sit there!
