My First Monday Made It!!!!

I have been wanting to link up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics every week since it started ... I would pin my little heart out with tons of ideas, but never got around to making anything ... so finally I got busy yesterday and a little today!!  Here is what I have made so far ...

I'm so excited about the Boggle Game ... I used a cookie sheet from the $ Store, and I think it turned out super cute!!  This was my first time using Mod Podge and I was nervous when I first brushed it on, but It sure did dry clear, thank goodness!



 I added the stickers to help spruce it up!!



Cutting out over 100 letters and adding magnets to the back was my least favorite part of this project!



Next up, is the this cool management piece which I saw all over pinterest!  Again so excited about how it turned out!


Objective display! I have the signs on my Teacher's Notebook Store.


I loved this Reading game, and got excited when I found the trays at the $ Store!!!  So I snagged 4 of them, I plan to make 2 fiction like the one you see below, and also 2 nonfiction!  I got the idea from Life In First Grade, check her blog out if you haven't, she has awesome ideas!!



Well thats it for now, I will have a lot more in the coming weeks!!!  Nothing like waiting all summer long to finally get things done :-)

New stuff and some FREEBIES!!

I've been busy this evening making stuff for my classroom ...

I love the Popcorn sight word games and decided to make it myself ... I created 3 different games using the dolche sight words for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade.




I also created a Jungle clip chart for tracking students AR points.  You would assemble it just like you would the behavior chart, but instead your tracking AR points not behavior!




I have been seeing the Boggle bulletin boards everywhere on Pinterest and plan to make one when I get into my classroom!  So here is a link to download the letters!!


Another Pinterest inspired idea ... Create a basket for students to put damaged books in.  They take the book to the "Book Hospital".  Also when you find missing pieces and not sure where they belong have a basket for that as well!  Here are signs to go with your baskets!!!


Hope you're enjoying your summer!!  I go back August 20th, so I am trying to enjoy what is left :)
