*Insert Witty Title*...Monday Made It

Here I am again on a Monday...
Sadly this might be my last Monday Made It of the summer
to link up with my sweet friend Tara from 4th Grade Frolics.
I am headin' back to my classroom
shortly and when that happens...I don't
even know what day of the week it is.
For today...I'm happy for Monday.
This post has Math, ELA, and Science all-in-one.
Boom...educational!

My first Monday Made It is a 

FREEBIE...but you HAVE

to read my big long post to get it.

I know...oh...the torture!

 If you've been around for awhile...you KNOW

I love to SLEEP.

I nap
ALL.THE.TIME.

I feel no guilt about sleepin' in the afternoons.

None whatsoever.

I can lay my head down at night and sleep just fine...

even if I've had an afternoon nap.

That's what you do at night...you tuck yourself into

bed and you go night-night.

Well guess what...the stuff in my classroom...

it likes to go catch some Zzzz's too.

"Everything" has a home and "Everything" likes to sleep there.

*I don't really know if it likes to sleep or not...that's just

the lines I feed my kiddos because it sounds good and less

creepy than "Everything" runnin' around in our class

in the middle of the night.

So..."Behavior Bucks"
now have a home that 

I made for them this week.

"Behavior Bucks'" first home was

a bank bag that was too dark and had no

windows to peek out of.

"Behavior Bucks'" second home was a Ziploc bag

that got dirty and grimey and often fell on the floor.

Meet "Behavior Bucks" new home....a jewelry holder

that is bein' recycled...I'm so genius!

There are windows...and all the little "Behavior Bucks"

get their very own bed to sleep in and they fit...just right.
*Jewelry Holder purchased at T.J. Maxx awhile ago.
It also has pockets on the back...not shown.
This is goin' to match perfectly in my classroom
with all my bright decor!

How are Behavior Bucks used in the classroom?

That's easy...for lots of stuff.
It's Math.

You got your agenda signed...get a buck.

You sat down on the carpet quietly for read aloud...get a buck.

You were thinkin' outside the box...get a buck.

You taught me somethin' new on the 'puter...get a buck.

You understood the idea of what I'm talkin' about here...

GET A BUCK!

Can you lose bucks?

YEP!

Don't have any bucks?  

You should probably find a friend to borrow one from because

you are not allowed to owe ME any bucks.

Nope, nope, NOPE!

What do I do with my bucks?

Be responsible for them, count them...and
spend them...of course!

What do I spend my bucks on?

Whatever you little heart desires...as long
as it's on the chart.

What chart?

This FREEBIE CHART right HERE that
also has the numbers, behavior bucks and titles included.

Why?
Because I love you.

I also made a Book Buzz that my sweet friend Kelli from

Tales of a Tenacious Teacher created a few weeks ago.  

Don't you just love her vibrant colors she uses?

This is so good that Tara ALSO made this for one

of her Monday Made Its this summer.

So...of course I had to make one TOO!

It's ELA.

I printed out my Book Buzz Tabs on Astrobright paper

usin' my NEW printer that you might have seen on 

my Instagram.

I scooped up a cutie green basket, some lil' owl stickers, 

and some pretty curlies from Dollar General.

Love how it turned out!

I am so excited to implement this with my readin' Nerd Herd!

I already made sure to tuck in my first book suggestion for them.

I wonder who will find it first.  

They are goin' to...get a buck!

I was surfin' through my phone

(I uploaded the Snapfish app and can 

now get 100 free prints a month for a year!)

and stumbled upon some photos from this past year

of my students presentin' their Science Newspapers.

They worked together to design their own Science newspapers

to showcase their learnin' at the end of all of their Science units.
It's Science.

My students worked for a little over a week on these durin' 

our Literacy Center time.

I decided to take my idea official and created

Design a Science Newspaper to put into my TpT store.

This packet includes questions the students may

have, student response pages and a rubric for gradin'.

Be sure to scoop this up in the TpT sale if this fancies you.

Don't forget to use the code: BTS15 to receive up to 28% off!

As always...super excited to see what everyone else has created.

Happy Monday, friends!
