Schoolgirl Style Challenge Finalist #6

This is it!  Our LAST finalist!  I know that I’ve probably tortured all of you enough to have dragged it out this long!  Voting for your favorite classroom will begin tomorrow morning, so make sure you stop by to see how our voting system will work.

So, without further ado, meet Cheryl Scott from Kansas City, Missouri.  This is Cheryl’s 16th year of teaching.  Cheryl explained that she had the opportunity to open a new school this year and since she has never decorated with a  theme before, she decided to take this opportunity to create the classroom of her dreams using the Schoolgirl Style Owl Themed products.

What struck us the most about Cheryl’s room was how she created such a warm and inviting classroom from a stark and cold looking space.

Here is Cheryl’s before picture…

Here is Cheryl’s classroom NOW…

Cheryl used the owl themed pennants to dress up her windows.  She also used my polka dot lanterns and table pennants over each table grouping.

I thought this shelving unit was the perfect piece to place under her bulletin boards.

Cheryl used my editable owl themed cut-outs and customized them with her student’s names…

Cheryl used my owl WELCOME banner on her door.  Cheryl also loves to really decorate for the holidays, so she purchased my banner letter cards to make a festive Halloween door!  This is SO cute!

Cheryl removed the owl pennants and replaced it with more banner letter cards.  I bet her students love her holiday décor!

  17. Jennifer says

    I knew the first day I walked into Mrs. Scott’s Owl Classroom, just how much work went into the design and preparation for my son’s 3rd grade home. Everything is so organized and comfy for the children. This room went from 4 beige walls and some desks to AMAZING!!! You have my vote and my son is so lucky to have you as his teacher 🙂

  18. Barb Bloemker says

    Cheryl, this is so neat! I couldn’t tell from other pics how detailed your design was. I’m surprised you got in any pool time this past summer. Your students must love it. Looks like a winner to me!

  19. Lizz says

    I had a hard time choosing a favorite, however, I chose this classroom because the teacher made the decorations in her class purposeful. The bulletin boards are made for student achievement and not JUST show.

  20. Mary says

  27. Tracy says

    I love Cheryl’s room! I work in the same building and believe me, it’s even cuter in person. Now, if I can just get her to style MY room!

  28. Janie says

    This is absolutely adorable!!! How could children NOT love to learn in this environment?! Love it!!

  36. Lauren Ayers says

Your LOVE and PASSION for what you do “shines” through your classroom.

  51. Jeanne Kirby says

    Cheryl, I see you enjoy what you do. The students just love such an inviting environment. Love the lamp and other pictures. It makes it so homey. Students spend most of their waking hours at school. Bet they love you. I am so envious. I always loved being creative like that, but many of my years were spent cutting and creating since they did not have many options available for purchasing. I had my whole family in addition to friends helping. Hope you win!

  52. Shawn says

    The classroom looks better in person than in the pictures and it truly is a great learning environment for kids!

  53. Debra says

    Cutest classroom at the new school. You definitely have other kids wishing they were in your class too!

  61. Nancy K says

    Taught with Cheryl for many years. Her classroom was always one of the best in the school. Saw this one a few months ago. It is even better in person.

  62. Elaine Hanshaw says

    I am voting for Cheryl Scott’s classroom because the theme is adorable! She took a stark, bland classroom and turned it into an interesting and inviting place for the students to enjoy learning each day. Awesome!

  83. Kristy says

    Super cute and so organized! Happy atmosphere for learning..I’m sure the kids love being there. I’ve been in classrooms that would make me crazy after a full day because of all the “stuff” everywhere and lack of clear organization. Not the case here. Love it!
