Kathy and Angie have earned the nicknames, “Martha” and “Stewart” at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee where they are both first grade teachers. 

Here is a snapshot of Kathy’s apple themed classroom…

So so so cute!

Kathy explained that each classroom at her school has a different colored wall.  Kathy was so excited to have the “Red Room” and couldn’t wait to decorate her room with an apple theme!

Welcome to Kathy’s classroom…

What an absolutely gorgeous focal point in the classroom!  This is so beautifully done!  I love how Kathy has a coordinated table cloth with red ric rac around the bottom.  This is such a nice detail to her classroom.  This little touch pulls her entire theme together.  The tree is pretty spectacular as well.  The picket fence with flower poms tops off this fabulous space!

Again, Kathy pulls her theme together by using coordinating colors on this side of the room.  I am in love with her apple lanterns and “Sharp Students” bulletin board at the top of the wall.

This banner is so cute!  I love how Kathy pulled the theme to the front of the room with a tree pocket chart, apple number line, coordinating chair pockets and calendar area!

I am sure that you can agree that this room is breathtaking! 

Great job, Kathy!

Stay tuned for photos of Angie’s room!  I can’t wait for you to see the color of her room and how she created a beautiful space for her students!
