Monday Made It #2...For Me

Here is to another Monday Made It. I wish I joined this linky earlier this summer!

Project #1...
I had this tin lying around the house and it didn't have much use. I decided to spray paint it brown and use it in my classroom to hold the sticks for calling on students. I ended up cutting out vinyl polka dots of pink and white with my Cricut to dress it up a little.

After
Project #2...
Since I had the tin now to hold the sticks with student names on them. I had to finish painting my sticks. I painted half pink and the other half blue. I found this idea on Pinterest. Once I call on a student I put the opposite side down, that way I know what sticks I pulled out. (Sorry for the blurry picture.)
Project #3...
The next project came from Pinterest as well. You have been seeing everyone redecorate their clipboards in scrapbook paper or the new duck tape. Here is my new clipboard. I still want to add the cute ribbon at the top. I will definitely be making over my students clipboards once I get them from school.

Check out the other projects over at 4th Grade Frolics.

Monday Made It!

I'm linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for the first time today with her Monday Made It. If you have not seen her blog you need to hop over and take a look around. She has been a great inspiration this summer. Every Monday she posts things that she has made for her classroom or home from the previous week. My first project that I'm going to share are drawers that I'm going to use for my reading groups. I will be able to store the book that they will be reading as a group and the work that they will do with it in their own drawer. This will help me keep organized with each group that I will have. I made cute labels to go on the outside as well. Project #2.. I bought shoebox containers and made labels for different supplies my students will be bringing in the first day of school. I will have these setup at open house and have my students sort the supplies they will be bringing in. I want to do it this way because there will be some students that won't

Monday Made It #4

I'm so behind this week and need to get caught up today!! We had our county fair this past week and it was great! Justin Moore and Thompson Square performed this year and they sounded incredible! Now onto my projects that I have made this week. I'm linking up again with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics . Project #1... My inspiration came from this post she made a book that told about herself for the first day of school. Click on the picture and it will take you to her blog.   So I decided to do the same thing. The pages I used are: Mrs. Miller Family Pets Favorite Books My Favorite Things Here is my version. Project #2... I found this idea through Tara from her last Monday Made It. She used the Beach Ball poke game with multiplication. I went to the website of FlapJack Educational Resources and found the game Factor Pair Flip Flops. This game is similar but you have think of the factors that equal the number they give you. I made two games f

Fabulous Find Friday

I'm linking up with Elizabeth at Fun in Room 4B for a linky party called I went to Michaels a couple of weeks ago and scored some owl stuff for my classroom this year. The best part was most of it was $1! I'm going shopping again tomorrow to get stuff for my Monday Made It and will stop by Michaels to see if they have a couple more for the following school year. :) I have been trying to look for a rug to go in my classroom library area that was cute but cheap. I had one all picked out but waited a few days. This time I'm glad I waited because they added new rugs to Walmart online and I found one that matched my classroom colors perfectly. I can't wait to set this up in my classroom library. Now to get a couple of seats for the students. That may have to wait until I get my first check. I don't have any home finds since I have just been looking for my classroom lately. ~Ashley
