Monday Made It

These first weeks of school have been crazy busy! I have a great class, but they're also the biggest class I've had so far!

We've been so busy that I haven't really taken any pictures of what we've done-I need to remember better!

Glad it's time for Monday Made It! :) I've done a lot of made its, so some of them have been grouped together-prepare for some pictures!

First and most important-my shelves finally got fixed!! :)

Aren't they beautiful!

On those pretty shelves, I have my gorgeous storage which is all labeled :)

It's oh so pretty! 😍😍 #storagegalore #prettystorage #mathmanipulatives #iteach4th #iteachfourth #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #iteachtoo

In the spirit of organization, I also redid my lunch count/attendance, as I was finding it hard to read the numbers, and I thought it could be neater and more streamlined.

I used square glass tiles (I got them off of Amazon), and I created little Melonheadz (truly headz-LOL! :)), and slapped a magnet on the back.

I have had some shatter (the kids must of dropped them just right!) but the glass did all stay on the cardstock-I was able to peel the cardstock away and glue on a new tile.

It's so much easier to read now! :)

My next, most super important made it is that I finished the hardest part of the supplements I've been making for our math program!

I've been calling them my babies :) (You can read more about them here and here)

I've also been making up some task cards to go along with the lessons-and having fun making them!

Well hello, task cards for tomorrow! 😜 #taskcards #teacherlife #iteach4th #math #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram

I've been making them as I go, they're a major part of my math block this year. I think that the kids have been enjoying them as well!
Note: No TPT shop, so not for sale

I also did up some fun little gifts for my teamies for back to school.

Gifts for my teamies are done! We're going to have a 'bucketful' of fun! 😉 #backtoschool #teachersofinstagram #iteachtoo #teachersfollowteachers #teachergift

I also have a coworker who is expecting (gender unknown), so I've been working on a blanket for her as well!
I've still got some ways to go, but I hope she likes it!

Next up, I took two wonderful products and made them into little books for the kids! (From The Brown Bag Teacher and Tales of a Tenacious Teacher)

I hung them under our writing chart for easy to grab access.

Lastly, I did two new garlands for my door!

My kids love squeezing the pencil and the apples :)

For my October garland, I wanted it to been fun, so I started with these babies.

Aren't they cute?!

They turned out great on the garland with my other October elements!

I also made a new wreath for my door at home-I love how it turned out!

Ta-da! A new wreath on my door for fall! It turned out so nice! 😍 #crochet #craftyteacher #crochetersofinstagram #yarnhooker #iteachtoo #craftastherapy
