Monday Made It...A Little Late

What's Up Y'all! Happy MondayTuesday...I'm linking up 4th Grade Frolics  for Monday Made It.  It's crunch time for me and I hope to get my room completed by Friday so that next week all I will have to do is plan and make copies.

Made It #1
Student Procedure Frames
I had my student procedures posted on my door, but it was so plain, so I decided to bring some color to the forms by putting them in frames.  I took a trip to the Ikea store in Charlotte yesterday and purchased some frames and added a bow to the top.

Supplies needed: Frame, updated procedure cards, ribbon.

Close-up of finished product: Fire Drill Procedures

Made It #2
Table Make-over
I have spray painted this table over and over again.  This time I decided to use contact paper, it was quick and easy.

 

Well that's all for now. I have a few more projects to complete.  Go link up and show us what you made.

I'm Out! Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Monday Made It and Classroom Pictures Day 3

What's Up Y'all?  It's Monday and I'm linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for her...

I made over a raggedy book shelf of mine that a friend fixed for me after a parent sat on it last year.  What would possess her to think that a little old shelf would make a great seat...needless to say it did not hold her...

 I cannot believe I went all year with this shelf looking like this...smh

I used red duct tape on the top and around the edges...

 A few minutes later...like new...a very nice improvement...

It looks so much better!!

Day 3

  I went in last Thursday, but they were touching up the wax in the hallway and I couldn't get in my room. I was able to get a little bit more done in my room today.  

Now for a few more pictures.

 My made over shelf with the group book boxes.

This is where students will put there H.O.R.S.E Books.

 Student Work Display Board.

 Classroom Library with books...still have to put my tables in there.

I still have a lot more to do!! 

I'm Out!! 

Classroom Pictures Day 1 and Day 2!

What's Up Y'all??  I only have 16 days left of my summer vacation!!! I go back on Aug. 12th.  I finally had time to get into my classroom and start setting up for back-to-school.  I only needed to arrange my furniture because my bulletin boards will stay the same.  This is what I have been able to accomplish since Monday and Tuesday.  I didn't go yesterday because I started a new class and had some reading to do and a paper to write before class.

Day 1-I was able to get most of the furniture put back where it belongs.  My classroom is small so I don't have many options of how to put my furniture.

 My behavior clip chart.

 I will put red duct tape around the edge of the bookshelf because it is so raggedy. The shelf on the other side of the Smartboard already has some.

I may redo my class rules...I did not number them!!

 View from the front of the room.

Classroom library setup so far.

Day 2-I put the computers back and arranged the rest of the desks, my small group area and meeting area.

 This is the Deputy of the Week Board.

Today I will finish up the classroom arrangement.  Hook the computers up and attempt to clean out my closet.  That is a daunting task all by itself!

I'm Out!!! Have a Thrilling Thursday!!

Monday Made It on Tuesday and Two Amazing Giveaways!!

It's Monday Tuesday again and that means it is time for Tara's...

I missed last weeks edition, but hope to participate every week until school starts back.  We'll see how that goes...
My first made it... is for my classroom computers...the mouse pads were old and ugly and looked like this:

well with a little fabric and ribbon...

I ended up with this...

My next made it... is something very simple that I created to hold our Box Tops that we collect.  I used a 20 oz empty can of Planters Peanuts...and some wood grain contact paper from the Dollar Tree...I wrapped the contact paper around the can and cut a circular piece for the lid...

Then I wrapped ribbon around the top and bottom of the can...and put on the "Wanted...Box Tops" labels I made...

Well those are my two made its for the week...I'll be back next week with some more goodies!!

Now I want to tell you about two A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Giveaways:
