Let's Read...with Wands!!

Well friends, what do you do when you have just a few days left of summer and whole list of things that you need to get done???

You create new things to do that have nothing to do with your list of things to do. That's what I do. 
I've been busy making pencil holders and stumbled across another teacher making troll wands.  They were super cute.....AND they gave me an idea...

I created 20 different strategies to stick on pencils.  You can get them at my TPT store.  These can be used in whole group, small group, stations or buddy reading.  

Your kiddos can choose a reading wand and focus on that particular skill while reading their book. Of course, I have the perfect place to hold these wands...A Reading Wand Holder.  Isn't this what every class needs??!!  That's what I thought too.


...and in case you haven't heard..

First Linky!!! Monday Made It.....

Well, this is my. very. first. linky. linkup. (GASP!)  It took my friend Michelle  to explain this to me.  really?! .......I was just kinda afraid I'd mess something up. BUT now that I've explained that this is my first time, I'm sure y'all will be forgiving.  right?  Obviously, I have been busy crafting but nothing for my classroom (soon....very soon, I will) so I thought, what a perfect linky to begin with.  I'm linking up with  Tara at 4th Grade Frolic This little craft is bitter sweet.  My lil' sass and I transformed her Disney Princess toy box (once again, i feel the need to explain our floor renovations....please excuse our mess) into a big girl storage chest.  A friend bought me some contact paper from TJ Max and that is what I used to cover the lid.  She LOVES it!   Okay in other news, our swimming pool motor blew up (smoke and all) on the very first Saturday we were out of school.  Geeezz!!--and it took a WHOLE week for the new motor to

In the Middle....Somewhere and a FREEBIE

Well, I have marked 2 things off my to do list.  Yay!!....but I'm constantly thinking of more things that I need to do.  Yikes.  I wanted to share some progress pics of the classroom because....really, it helps me feel as though I'm getting some things accomplished. I'm loving Cara Carroll 's bag idea because that space above the cabinets can look so gross. I don't have a Cameo (yet) but this is my version without a it.  This is the mailbox area and the display sheets for the kids work. This is a pic of my word work area.  That neat little cart in the picture has a whiteboard on one side and cork board on the other, plus an area to store tubs in the middle.  Greatness!! And while I was busy making new stacks of things to move, my Big Sass was busy making a giant cupcake for my outside bulletin board. I'm so thankful for the time we spent together today.  He is getting so big...{sigh}.   We are picking up his sophomore schedule tomorrow.
