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".

 No, technically I didn't make this BUT I did help measure, draw lines for screw placement, and hold while sanding.  I did however make the cute little fabric scrap banner for the front. 
 
Which leads me to my next made it...
Learning to sew was on my summer bucket list.  So put a CHECK by that because I have officially learned to use our sewing machine. 


I had a sweet friend make me a bookmark so this bookmark was my inspiration.  My goal was to make bookmarks and mail "oldies but goodies" books and new bookmarks to friends. 
I think the hardest part was wrapping my head around turning the fabric inside out and controlling my foot on the sewing pedal.  I love how they have turned out!  

Look out world because I'm planning to sew all kinds of things.

    That lemonade stand is the cutest I ever did see. When my two were little they put a jar out that said, "Tips for college" and they used to rake it in. Especially if they also hawked their wares of lemonade and cookies. Mind you, there were just seven to ten or so, and so cute :) I bet yours are having fun. Thanks for sharing.

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.   ...

HO HO Oh No!!!

If cameras were in the classroom AT&T would be calling me for their next commercial.  I LOVE these commercials because I feel like everyone in the world gets a little glimpse of the great conversations that take place in the classroom of young kids.  Sometimes the most amazing conversations take place and then sometimes......not so much..  Okay, back to "HO". I had given my kids all the letters in the words GROUNDHOG DAY.  I then challenged them to come up with 25 new words using these specific letters.  They are hard at work when I get this question "Can I use the word "ho"?  Me: "Well, no because hoe (then I precede to tell them about a garden hoe and what it is used for-you know, building a little background knowledge, just in case) is spelled with an "e" and you don't have an "e" available to you."   Another student says, "I mean the other "ho"."  Me: "Well, that's not really appropria...
