Job titles for partners

Hey! I finally went and cleaned a little bit at school. IT NEEDED IT! lol

I have decided to post the cute little job tags that I made for the students. I received better scores on my evals when I used them.

 I color coded them for the beginning of the year because they can not read the words yet. I put them into ID holders that I found at Wal-mart for $1.88.

I have also included ones for my students to wear when they make it to the top of my clip chart. I am VERY excited to use these. I hope that you enjoy them. I am giving away a set so please follow my blog. Good luck! I would love to hear what you think.

I had a question about how I made this:

  I got the idea of this from Pat Pavelka.

Supplies:
- Cheap Shower Curtain
- Decorative Duct Tape (I used three of them)
- Clear pockets or sandwich baggies (I got mine from the Parent Teacher store).


Steps:
1. Lay out your shower curtain flat.
2. Tape off a grid pattern with your duct tape. I used lime green and made four columns each way.
3. Next, tape around the outside for durability. I use hot pink duct tape.
 4. Then, I stuck on clear pockets that I found at the Parent Teacher Store. They were adhesive on the back.
5. Finally, duct tape around the pocket for durability and design. I used zebra duct tape.


I will put different review cards in the pocket. My kids LOVED this last year. However, I didn't have the pockets on it then. It was just a grid pattern. I would just lay the card in each grid square. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions. 

Monday Made It

Hey guys!! I hope that y'all are enjoying a slight break in these super hot temps. I don't think I can take much more lol. I have been crafting inside at home...in the AIR CONDITIONING lol. Yes...I am a whimp. No...I am not ashamed lol.

Now... moving on to my Monday Made-It.

READ letters :)

Number Magnets- for turning work in and CAFE

My sign

This is a shower curtain that I made into a gameboard. There are clear pockets on the front that I will use to slide different cards into for review and for games. (Vocabulary, addition, spelling words, etc)

 

Well...at least I made it the sink

Hey guys! I hope that you are enjoying your weekend. I spent the last three hours at the school trying to get things back together in my room.

We were made to take everything down off our walls so that it doesn't fall onto our freshly waxed floors. The floors look amazing. My feelings about having to put everything back up...not so great.

I have learned that if we put up command strips we can leave everything up. So...I spent a small fortune on those. Hopefully, I will be in first next year lol. Okay...focus on one year at a time...

I was able to work on a few things in my room. This is just the entrance of my room. I have little projects finished around the room...but I will show more later. 

This is where I will display their work.

Class Rules

I use this for hallway compliments and rewards.

Yeah...I just didn't have room for it anywhere else lol.

Common Core I can Freebie

Hey guys! I hope that you guys enjoyed yesterday! It was nice to sit back and watch the fireworks with the boys. I just wanted to stop by and post I can statements for the year. Our PLC went through the common core standards and made I can statements to match them. Click here to get your copy of the common core I can statements.

Question----Do any of you guys use the Number Talks book? I have thought about buying it, but it is very expensive and would like to know a little more first. If you have the book will you tell me:

1. Do you like the book? Is it worth the price?
2. Do you need the book or could it be something that you just read and share?
3. What is the best thing about the book?

Thanks for your help!!

Also, I am getting closer to reaching 50 people. LOL such a small victory...but I am excited. I am planning a giveaway when we get to 50.

P.S. I am able to get back into my classroom and pictures will be coming soon. I have also made many new things for my Monday Made-It. I may have to post before then lol.

Monday Made-It

Hey guys! I hope that you are enjoying your summer! I certainly am! :)


I am thinking of jumping on the Daily 5 train. I'm a little bit scared because it is already July and I am waiting on the books from Barnes and Noble lol. So does anyone do this with their kids? What are your thoughts on using it with this grade level? I went to an in-service, but it was mostly about CAFE.

The baskets looks very dark, but they are Lime Green and Hot Pink :)

Now...onto the Monday Made-It. I have made many things with the intention of putting them on my blog. However, I didn't take pictures of them and some of them are waiting on laminating lol. Today, I am going to show you my baskets that I labeled. I just put Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4.

 

Next item that I made was this writing poster :) For some reason my phone camera makes EVERYTHING darker than it actually is. I have more things that I have made and I will post those next week. I will also be posting some of my plans. I have almost finished lesson plans for the first two weeks of school :)
