Monday Made It Again

Well our beach trip saw more rain than I expected so that left me with time for Monday Made Its! I am linking up with Tara at 4thGradeFrolics.

 

 

 

This is my small group board. I have four small groups. Two are teacher directed and two are independent unless I have a student teacher. I will use Velcro and attach the students pictures and they will move as needed. I just bought a foam board and cut it down to 20 X 20 then added glitter scrapbook paper.

 

 

My second made it is coordinating baskets for my small group tables. I used the same scrapbook paper and attached it to the basket with double sided tape. I also laminated it for durability. My Pre-K students can look at the board to see what color they are on and where they will work that day. It works very well. I got my baskets from the Dollar Tree.

 

  

My next made it is my classroom rules in aqua chevron. I am really excited about these and cannot wait to utilize them in my classroom.  If you would like you can download them as a FREEBIE from my TpT store. Just click on the image above.

 

  

My next made it is not for school. I updated and organized my workout book as well as made my workout calendar. I cannot show the workouts because they are not mine. However if you are someone who needs workouts you can do right at home then I suggest you check out Taylor Ryan at Fit Womens Weekly! She is fantastic. It is 19.95 a month and you can do most workouts without any equipment and just your body. My friend lost 100 lbs using her workouts!

 

 I cannot wait to see what everyone else has posted. I am off to check them out. Have a great Monday!

Monday Made It #2

I am back for another exciting link up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for her fabulous Monday Made It! I was inspired by so many people last week that I cannot wait to see this weeks posts. Be sure to check out the other great ideas. 

 

 

  

I have decided to change my classroom theme for next year from Wild to Aqua chevron with black and white. So I bought the schedule clip cards from Teacher At Heart. I love these cards because they are editable and she gave multiple options to chose from for each content area. They also come in several colors. 

 

 I found these super cute monsters at the Dollar Tree. I knew I wanted to use them somehow but did not decide until later. I made a beginning sounds match out of them. I cannot wait to use them in October when we do monsters. 

 

I have been wanting to try out the chalkboard writing for sometime now. I found this cute chalkboard at WalMart for $1.00 so I couldn't resist. I don't think it is bad for my first but I have a lot to learn to make creative ones like I see on pinterest! 

Have a great Monday! I am off to another week of cheerleading camp! 

Monday Made It 2014

WOW! It has been a LONG time since I have blogged anything. However, I have been extremely busy taking care of my sick parents. My mother has severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and my Daddy had a massive heart attack in November. So I apologize for the lack of posts and hope to do better! I am linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made Its.

WE MADE IT!! After my Daddy's heart attack, he had to wear this ZOLL LifeVest for 6 months until he could have a permanent defibrillator put in because only 26% of his heart is working. It was a long six months of changing this vest in and out and it going off from the slightest movement he made. I am very thankful he had it and Praise the Lord it did not ever have to go off because his heart stopped. So although I did not invent this incredible contraption. I am celebrating that we now have a permanent AICD implanted and no longer have this vest! 

My second Monday made it is this picture frame. It was a craft I did along with my niece. We hot glued sequins onto the wood picture frame in rows by color. I haven't decided on a picture for this frame yet but I love how it shines. 

 

I did this as the end of the school year gifts for my niece's teachers. I figured what better way to say thanks than with a gift card and of course to Target! I cannot take credit for this idea. I downloaded the card from Landee at Landeeseelandeedo.com. The teachers loved the card and it was a HUGE score!

Be sure to link up with Tara and check out the other posts! 

Classroom Digs and Meet The Teacher Late

I am linking up for Teacher Week 2013 with Blog Hoppin.

 

I missed yesterday's "Let's Talk About Me!" so I am going to catch up on that first. I am going to post the top 10 things about me.

1. I love Jesus! He is my Lord and Savior without whom I would be lost!

2. I am a sibling to 4 others. I have three sisters and one brother. I am the baby! 

3. I choreograph for cheerleading teams in my area. 

4. I have an obsession with zebra and chevron!

5. I am a fitness enthusiast! I work out everyday! I wear a heart rate monitor so I know how many calories I burned versus what I consume. 

6. I play the piano for my church.

7. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews.

8. I have danced since I was 3 years old. I used to coach an all star dance team.

9. Pre-K is my passion. I couldn't imagine any other grade. 

10. I have been teaching for 8 years!

Now onto my classroom...I posted it yesterday as my Monday Made It so if you have already seen it I apologize. If not, click on the picture below to see my Jungle themed classroom. 

I am off to check off the other wonderful classrooms posted today!

Monday Made It -- Classroom Reveal

 I am linking up with Tara from Fourth Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. This week I am sharing my classroom and all the things we created to make our room ready for school.

 

This is the door to my classroom. My paraprofessional did a FABULOUS job! 

My paraprofessional did this cute tree as well. She is very artistic!

 Here is my small group board and Our Daily Schedule board.

 These are the zebra chairs in my book center where our alphabet is displayed.

 This is our daily attendance board. The children attach their pictures to their name to show they are present.

This is a special spot for work inside our classroom. It helps hide some of the ugly yellow walls surrounding me. I hung zebra taped binder clips to hold the art work on the wall but they are not in this picture. 

This is the information station for parents. Our parents have to walk their children in daily and sign them in as well.

A view from the door to my classroom. This is one half of my room.

Here is the art center.

Here is the book center.

Here is the science center.

Here is the art center. We start the year with just a few items on the shelves until we teach appropriate procedures of how to use each material.

Here is our Safe Place where children can go when upset right next to our lovely cots. I have a love hate relationship with them.

Calendar Area

House center

Math center

Block center

Here are my students cubbies. I have four of these in my classroom. The pink cart is my small group, instructional activity, and large group organization.

There is my classroom for the 2013-2014 school year! I am in love with it.
