3 weeks.......3 weeks people and I am back to work:( Where has my time off gone?!?!
If I am going to be ready I am going to have to amp it up a notch....just not sure when that is going to happen:/ I want some me time too................
So, my Monday Made Its are starting to be Made Its that other people posted and I went nuts over!
This, I posted about the other day...it's my "Pick Me" pot completely and totally inspired by the awesome Teri at A Cupcake for the Teacher!

I used this a lot last year and loved it:) Of course the numbers had to match my new colors:)
When I saw these on last week's MMI I just knew I had to have them:)

These are from Michele at Run Miss Nelson's Got the Camera! They are her Braggin' About Behavior Beads. I got the set that you can customize! Love that about them. She pretty much will make what ever you want (if that's the set you buy)

I got this case at Michaels to put them all in because as you can see, I bought a lot and am a little crazy nuts about them right now:)

A big shout out THANK YOU to Mrs. Laffin from Mrs. Laffin's Laughings! She emailed me and gave me a heads up as to Hob Lob selling the ball chain for the behavior beads at 50% off:))

Can't wait to use these in my classroom this year! The kids will go nuts over them!
For the past 2 years, I have used shared writing journals in my classroom for Work on Writing in our Daily 5 rotations. My kiddos just love writing to a "theme" and love adding to someone else's story.
I made 8 new themes to add to our journaling creativity:) Can't wait to see what my kiddos write with these:)
My last MMI for today was actually made for me by super sweet Amy.
AHHHHHH! Can you stand the cuteness and it matches my new room colors PERFECTLY!!!
She has a new Etsy shop AND here's where my giveaway comes in....Amy is giving away a banner! The banners are 12 feet long and the winner gets to pick their own colors and it can have 5 different patterns! I just love mine and can't wait to hang it up in my classroom:)
The winner of the Rafflecopter will also win my new "Gettin' My Write On" set:)
As always, I can't wait to be inspired by you all!! Thanks for linking up:)
The banner is so cute! I love the colors.

I follow you on TPT. I am loving that banner! By the way, this weekend I found cardboard pencil holders in black, lime, and gray chevron at the Target Dollar Spot-- they totally go with your new colors!

That banner is so cute! Your homework club numbers are so useful!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe that you only have 3 weeks left as we are just starting summer vacation. I can understand why you might be feeling a little pressure, but every week you share the greatest things and accomplish so much. I hope you do not mind I borrowed your color scheme for my classroom and all of my made its this week - I just love everything you have shared!! Your banner is awesome. I am printing your homework club numbers out on magnetic sheets as I type!!
ReplyDeleteLove tha banner and the bragging beads. Any specifics on the container? I need to find one. Thanks.

I love your new bunting and organizational ideas. I had Michele design some tags for me as well; they are super cute. Enjoy the rest of your time - heather
ReplyDeleteI think the bead/tag idea is such a great one! Have seen those around in blogland and decided to make some for my kids next year. Etsy is another great place to get ball chain in different colors... I agree that the kids will love these! All of your creations look wonderful--the numbers, bunting, and your journals. Thanks so much for sharing and the opportunity to link up each week!
