Super Bowl 50

Against all odds, the Denver Broncos took on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. As you know, my favorite quarterback of all time played for Denver, and, as it turns out, the teacher I share my room with is a big Carolina fan. It was on and I started it.

Yes, I drew this by hand on my homework board! No, I don't think I could ever draw it again. It's a Super Bowl miracle! Anyway, Mr. Ferguson couldn't let me show him and his team up.

So, it started out small. Mr. Ferguson made his own Panther paper chain. I decorated my table in orange and blue. Then, I went to the dollar store. 

And I made a wreath based on this Pinterest idea! For a total of $3, I bought the Styrofoam ring, a blue rectangle table cloth, and an orange rectangle table cloth. I cut the table cloth into about 18 inch strips (though they could have been shorter) and double tied them around the ring in alternating pattern. Once I covered the whole ring, I cut the ends down and fluffed them up. I added a bow from Michael's and a little name plate. For $3, I thought it was a great way to one-up Mr. Ferguson in our classroom.

But then, Mr. Ferguson copied by wreath idea, covered his door in a Panthers claw mark, and made an end zone. So, I obviously had to make an end zone. Mine was made from painters tape, which wouldn't ruin the floor. Mr. Ferguson out cardboard down before the duct tape in an attempt to protect the floor as well. We got permission from the maintenance guys too before we did anything!

And from then on, the competition grew fierce all during Super Bowl week. The students loved walking in everyday and seeing what was added.

My mom helped me with these pennants.  I cut them out of felt and then she sewed them with her sewing machine. They came out great. Thanks Mom!

I may have went overboard. I covered my seat cushions in make-shift orange and blue cases, and I drew on our classroom windows with window markers. It was well worth it though when the Broncos came out on top and WON SUPER BOWL 50! I was beyond excited and glad that Peyton Manning could go out on top.

I celebrated with a victory selfie and got to keep up all my stuff for the whole week after. Even though his team lost, I bet Mr. Ferguson can agree that it was a great time decorating our classroom and celebrating Super Bowl! :D
