Monday Made It - July 13th

Holy cow, I am having a hard time accepting how fast time is passing.  I have enjoyed one of my last free weeks before life really gets going again.  My fourth class for my visual impairment endorsement began today and goes until the 27th, which is my last day of summer! Therefore, the last week of my life has been full of relaxing and crafts. Such a stress reliever!  Go check out all the awesome blogs who have linked up with 4th Grade Frolics... there are a ton of awesome ideas and freebies!

 

 

 This was a total surprise made it and I love how it turned out!  I took one of the glass vases I had around the house and used E6000 to glue these glass marbles I had lying around to the side.  It is so pretty and sparkly! I love it.

 I hate how horrible this picture turned out, but I love how this turned out.  As an upper grades elementary school teacher, I feel some independence needs to be turned over to the kiddos as we begin the prepare them for middle school.  I have tried sign in/sign out sheets which work, but they are labor intensive.  I fully believe in using a number system and it saves so much of my sanity... and it works perfectly with this. I can't wait to implement this in my classroom.  

Side note, did you know they make fabric duct tape?! It is AMAZING and worked so well for this project!

 

This is, by far, one of my favorite things I have made for my classroom.  I just love it so much.  These pictures  just don't do it justice.

 I got this idea from Miss DeCarbo last year and never got around to actually making it.  I don't have a huge window in my room this year and I didn't want my light blocking curtains soaking up all that precious natural light. So, this idea popped into my head and it turned out so well.  It really brings all the colors in my room together. 

That's all for this week! I hope you all have a fantastic week and are enjoying your summer, or what's left of it - at least!
