Monday Made It - Summer Week 8

It's that time again....and I was almost ready ahead of time...lol!
Almost....
I'm gonna dive right in to my made its for this week:)  They are all classroom related....WHAT?!?!  No home made its....insert sad face:(  I mowed but pretty sure you don't want to see pics of that...and the kitchen is still in limbo....soooo....

 
NO NAME CLIP!!
 

This is my version of the NO NAME PAPER BLACK HOLE!  I know every classroom has one.  I even had the cute little bucket with the highlighters and little reminder last year and STILL had kiddos not write their names......and it was always the same kids!!!  I have to tell ya, if I ever quit teaching I am pretty sure I can become a handwriting analyst...lol.
 

 
I tried to have some fun with the different messages:)  I laminated each of the little messages and then glued them to some fat fun clothespins I got at Michaels.  I then glued all those to a stick I painted with polka dots.  I was just going to make each of the clips magnets but wasn't willing to give up that much board space.  Now I will just glue the stick somewhere on the wall in my room;)
 
We will see if this helps this year:)
UPDATE!!  I just posted these as a FREEBIE in my TPT shop:)
Have You Seen My Name? 
My next made it I didn't make.  I downloaded, printed, and laminated.  This year I am going to be doing a lot of STEM in my classroom.  Well Carol from Teachers are Terrific has AMAZING resources just for STEM and I can't wait to try them all!
These are part of her STEM and Science Posters Bundle and guess what?!  They're in my colors...lime and turquoise:)  Happy, happy me!!!
Just love these!  They are going to be a great addition to my classroom this year:) Pop over to her blog and store and say hi!!
My last made it is a Critter themed set of my Math Meeting Headers. 

I started using morning Math Meetings 2 years ago and it has changed my "math world" forever!  If you don't know what they are or how I use them, you can read about it HERE.  I will NEVER teach math again without doing this:)  Anywho, I FELL IN LOVE with these adorable Scrappy Bugs from Graphics From the Pond!

They make me smile!  So much so that even though they aren't the lime, turquoise, and gray theme... I'm using them! Gotta have a classroom that makes you smile, right? 
   If you're interested, you can check them out HERE or click on the pic:)

That's all for me!  I can't believe the summer is winding down and it's about to get real!  Thank you again to everyone who linked up last week!  Can't wait to see what I get to add to my to do list this week:)

  1. Those are the cutest no name clips. I'm loving the polka dot stick as well. You know I'm pretty good at handwriting analyst too :) That would be a great job. I need to go check out some STEM activities. I usually have some pretty high first graders who would LOVE that packet. I'm off to check out your math packet. Have a wonderful week!

  2. Oh man, I think yours is the best version of No Name board I've seen! I love your signs :) Haha, I think all teachers would be great with that as a side job!

    That STEM packet looks excellent, even for middle school! Thanks :)

  3. Love, love, love the No Name stick. Definitely need!!! It would definitely help to have one to keep me from holding up the paper and saying, "Somebody forgot their name again!!!" with 22 scurrying up to me to see whose paper it is. Lol!
    Yay for Teachers are Terrfic!!! Carol's STEM activities are super duper creative. I always look forward to reading her blog to see what she has been up to in her lab! Hope you have a fabulous week friend! XOXO

  4. I love the no name board! The kids are perfect and I had the same problem like you! Highlighter cup and still ... no name! I even had a no name board and papers were still not claimed. Drives me crazy! My no name board was not near as cute ... may be remaking that one! I am also loving your classroom colors!!! I'm excited to see pictures of your new room ... when the time comes!
    Enjoy your summer!

  11. Love your spin on the "No Name" board. Hope your kids won't TRY to get on there! LOL! Love all the bright colors on your Math Meeting headers! I love those goofy eyes, too! So fun! Will have to keep those STEM headers in mind at my Master Teacher workshop today! Great timing!

  12. Thanks so much Tara! I am so glad my poster set works for you! You are the bestest ever!
    I tried the no-name bucket of highlighters in the turn-in basket last year and it worked fairly well. Yes, I still did have papers ( a few) with no names and it was always the same couple of kids. I may need a no-name stick!

  14. I had a no name clip thingy this last year and it was a failure. First off mine was magnetic... yep I had to give up a portion of my whiteboard to missing name papers. Never will I do that again. Secondly, my kiddos didn't care if their assignment was up there. A lot of them would redo the assignment without even looking up there! Maybe these cute signs would do the trick. :)

    I am going to have to do some reading about your Math Meetings. I just love the sound of it. :) I do a workshop style math and I love it. I could totally add a meeting to the beginning of it. Just put your headers in my cart! Thanks for sharing!
