Classroom Door Decorating

I love putting up a new classroom door with each new holiday.  Right now, in honor of the springtime and fresh air, (if the snow EVER ends here in the midwest,) I'm in the midst of putting up an "Up" themed door, with a blue background, floating house, and little balloons (water balloons!) lifting it into the sky.  Below are some other doors I've made this year.  The kids love them!

The un-finished product below... before I colored the bottom of the house and added the words and the clouds/birds.  I drew the "Up" house and cut/glued it down, (colored it with markers,) and used spare yarn for the strings.

Here is the "iPhone" door that the 5th graders helped design, (each one invented an app to add to it,) the littler kids loved pretending to push the apps when lining up and leaving the classroom.  You can see that one alteration needed to be made to the "punch your brother app", much to the student's dismay.  ;)

Here is my Christmas door... Santa's Stable, complete with some trickster reindeer!  If I could redo, I would put the reindeer's paws over the "nt" so it read "DO feed the reindeer".

For Thanksgiving I tied a pencil to the door handle and let early finishers write down some things they were thankful for.  I learned a lot about what is important to students of all ages with this one... a lot of One Direction....

For Halloween I put up FRANKENDOOR!  Paper plates for eyes and a green background.  You've probably seen this one floating around Pinterest, but I couldn't resist giving him a cute little vibe with the baby teeth and sparkling eyes  :)

This Thanksgiving I channeled Free Birds which the kids really enjoyed waving to on their way into the classroom:

Newly added for winter of this year, a big hit: the Frozen Olaf door!  

I don't have pictures of the other doors, but the possibilities are endless if you picture your class door as an open slate!
