A First Grade View to Fourth Grade....

I've been playing with the idea of changing my classroom color scheme.  I have always used the primary colors (+green) to decorate my classroom, and I do mean always! (...like 15 years of always!) My friends have tried to convince me several times to change it up a bit. Well, let's just say I might!- I am however a little "OC" about everything matching and that is where I can run into trouble... finding everything to match.  The closest "organizational store" is 3 hours away, so IF, I do make a change, it will have to be well-planned. 

Here are a couple of pics from my last classroom from first grade and the first grade blog I created...

Now, I work in a school that was originally built over 60 years +,  ago.  It has had three buildings added to it over the years.  My last class was located in one of the newer buildings. (If you'd like to view complete pictures of the classroom, click here.) As I make my move to fourth grade, I will be moving to a classroom located in the original building!  It is currently undergoing some updating, so I hope it will be ready in time to prepare it before the school year begins!
This summer I created this fourth grade blog, and after a lot of researching, I am feeling more confident with blogging...and I will continue learning more to incorporate. That being said....
I really like the colors in this blog design, and I am really thinking about using them in my fourth grade class. I'm really diggin' the different color combinations!- So, I decided to tread the idea of changing the color scheme, by creating some calendar headers, and I am starting to "feel it."

Let me know what you think?  Should I use this color scheme? Maybe? Well if you like these calendar headers, pick up a free download here.... (Calendar Headers) or click on the pic above; and stay tuned to see what color scheme I end up using.
