SPOOKtacular October {Terror Swift - The scERAS Tour}

 Guess who comes to town tomorrow?




Unless you've been living under a rock, it's none other than Miss Taylor Swift herself. The city of New Orleans is going all out for her arrival, and this excitement includes the owners of our favorite "Skeleton House" on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and State Streets. If you've been following Uptown Acorn, I enjoy sharing teh "punny" skeletons every Halloween season.

This year, her tribe of skeletons include Taylor Swift dressed to the nines from her ERAS. What creativity was involved in this display!














There is even a Skelce skeleton to represent her favorite tight end.



Taylor Swift will be in town for 3 sold-out nights. Her concert will certainly draw many visitors to the Big Easy. The excitement is all around for sure.

scERAS Tour, y'all!

SPOOKtacular October {Acorn Cottage Facade}

 October is one of my favorite months of the year. October brings cooler temperatures, Fall Break (a week of no school), and Halloween. The Halloween season is celebrated hugely in the city of New Orleans.

Today, I'd like to share the Acorn Cottage dressed in her Halloween glory. The front yard features pumpkins stacked as topiaries in garden pots. Felt bats fly away along the front of the house.





On the door, an orange and black chinoserie pumpkin welcomes guests and adds the perfect touch to the Halloween decor. More bats and a life-sized mummy guard us during the month of October.





Black feathery wreaths hang in teh windows, metal ghosts line the walkway, and crows perch along the fence.






Thanks for stopping by.

You should see the glow at night. Stay tuned!

Halloween Facade, y'all!

Classroom Theme {Elements of Success}

 Each year I love to share my theme for the science classroom/lab. This year I chose a science-related theme, Elements of a Successful Student. Chemical symbols abound and represent the many needs of the science classroom. From students to labels, the symbols (some real, some fictious) make for an entertaining theme.

Take a look into this year's theme:
