One Man's Junk Another Teacher's Treasure...

I'm a little embarrassed to admit to this but I have thought so much about my little blog since my first post.  Super silly, I know.  I just couldn't wait to share again and then to see that I have someone following..........gasp!!--makes it all the more EXCITING!!

LOOK at this amazing little ??, well, I'm not actually sure what it is but as I was packing up the classroom yesterday someone asked me if I wanted it.  UUUMMMM.......yes!!  It is a treasure and I 'm soooo excited to do something with it.  One side is a cork board and the other side is a white board with shelves in the middle. 


This looks sooo stinkin' fun!! -I would love to hear your ideas on how you would use this.  I'm going to be dreaming about this thing all summer.  ha!-the things that excite a teacher. :)

    This is awesome! I would use this at my Writer's Workshop station/center. I'd put supplies/paper on the shelves, buy some magnetic alphabet letters for word building (to use on the white board side), and hang posters on the corkboard side. SO JEALOUS!

    I think it would be great for Word Study!

Behavior that Makes Cents!

I've decided for this next school year to implement $$ into my behavior clip chart.  Our school has certain colors and points that they want us to use and deduct from each child's conduct grade based on the child's color/conduct clip.  So each year I jazz up my color chart BUT this year I'm implementing Coins.......get it???!!!  Behavior that Makes Cents!!  Okay.......this is how it will work in my classroom.  Each day the students will stamp their behavior calendar with a coin stamp based on our color chart.  For example, black will be used for a quarter because black is considered exceptional behavior throughout the day. They will use a green stamp for dimes, yellow stamp for nickels, and a red stamp for a penny.  Although, I rarely have color changes, I truly feel like this will motivate them to not only KNOW their coins but be able to add them up.  They will NEED to know how much they have in order to spend their money on Friday.   ...

Made It Monday

Well, I think I have completely settled into my summer.  I know this because once I get settled I start summer crafting, pinning, and looking forward to Stop by 4th Grade Frolics to see all the Monday Made Its.   My first Made It screams sUmMeR! My little sass has been selling lemonade for extra money for the past couple of months.  She LOVEs it and works very hard at it so my friend decided to make her a lemonade stand from an old fence wood. Seriously, how could you not stop and buy lemonade.   The sign at the top was made with chalkboard spray paint. Super cool and it was only 3 dollars at Wal-mart.  I'm currently making a list of all the things I want to spray around my house. ;-) The chalkboard makes it easy for her to change it from Lemonade in the Summer to Hot Cocoa in the winter.  This past weekend she was selling old clothes, shoes, and bags so her sign said "Jen's Lemonade and Boutique".  {first customer}  ...
