Monday Made It - Back to Monthly

Yes, yes....I know it's Sunday.....wanted to give ya a head start:)

So Friday night rolls around and all of the sudden I realize that MMI is Monday and I have nothing....nada....nope, not a thing:( 
 
That put me into a little bit of a panic mode......so I jumped on Pinterest and THANK YOU Charity Preston from The Organized Classroom.  She saved my me and my lack of focus and I have a super easy, cute made it to show you:)
The other day on Instagram I teased with this....
Well...after I saw Charity's adorable clipboard makeover, I knew this was the made it for me.  A few years ago I did the scrapbook paper and ribbon clipboard makeover....well those clipboards got grooooooosssssss!  I'll spare you the pics....just dirty and the ribbon wasn't pretty and ick! (like so ick I had to throw them out and start new)
 
Hello amazing duct tape:
Grabbed a set of these at Wally world:) 
Let the duct taping begin!


Had to do one to match my room but threw in some fun for the kiddos:)
 
I also was busy making this set.
I don't know about you all but I have several of my kiddos who are NOT fluent with their multiplication facts:(  They HAVE to have that.....it is such a critical foundation to build on.  I teach in a math workshop format and they do math facts EVERY day!!!!  So I made this to help them with their practice.....I may even make extra sets to send home with my strugglers.

I laminated them so they can be used over and over and hopefully it will start to stick!!
I thought I would throw in some fun for this Monday Made It.  I am also going to have a little giveaway:)  The winner will win my new "You Don't Scare Me Multiplication Facts" set and 3 other items of their choice from my TPT store:)
 
Don't forget to leave some love on the blogs you visit:)
