Monday Made it!

YAY! I finally get to link up with Tara at  4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It! Linky Party.


I have been pinning many ideas and looking at all the fabulous creations everyone else has made along the way and just haven't been motivated myself to make anything. But finally...I did it!

The first thing I made is one of the most popular items I have seen lately...The Teacher Toolbox!



It was hard to decide what all I wanted to have each drawer for. :)






My teaching partner and I have decided to use The School Bell.Com to teach our sight words this year. They have 11 lists to teach the Dolch Sight words for first grade. We made each list a different color and put them into baggies because the kids can use them to play games and practice with partners. We wanted a good way to organize them and when we went shopping for the items for our Teacher Toolbox at Lowe's we found an amazing little organizer that was perfect!


Here is how it turned out:


The bottom pink card is eventually going to say "Pig Cards" for the cards they need to play the game Pig.


Each door opens and you see three separate slots. The baggies of cards are inside. I also put different stickers on the back of each set of cards so if one gets lost, I will know which baggie it came from. :)


This is a baggie of cards for list one.


My last project, was also found on Pinterest. I saw these little to do frames and had to make some of my own!


I plan to use these for reminders or to do lists in my classroom...I think they turned out really cute!

Please head over to 4th Grade Frolics and link up with any of your creations!!

Classroom Organization & Book Bins

Well, I have to redo my book bins since I will be moving from 4th grade to 1st. Some of them would have worked the same but I figure if I am going to change one, I am going to change them all. lol. So, after stalking Jessica Meacham's site (one of my favorite places to get ideas), I have decided to use the plastic business card holders and make my labels on business cards.


 I will attach these little babies to my baskets and then just slide the business card into the slot. That way if I want to change what books are in the basket, I can easily change the label to go with them. I also plan to use these little pockets on my mini-drawers that I am going to use for my student's supplies (Thanks Jessica Meacham!)



Each student will have their own drawer and they will keep their crayons, pencils, & nametag in the drawer. When they need them, they will just go pull their drawer and take it to a table with them. :)

So, I thought I would share my book bin labels with you if anyone is interested in trying these easy idea like me! Hope you like them~ (sorry I can't figure out how to make them all show up with one link)
