Monday Made It...third time is a charm!

Everybody dance now!

Why?

Because...for the 

THIRD time 

I'm linkin' up with my sweet friend Tara

from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It.

This week I was on the struggle bus on what to make because

I'm in California visitin' my parents.

Aren't they so cute?

I'm sure you can understand...I haven't really

been thinkin' too much about school stuff

other than missin' my Rockstars.

I did get into our private class Instagram account

and started browsin' pictures from all of the things

we accomplished throughout the school year.

Creatin' a private account is a great way to keep

parents involved with what is goin' on in our room.

Anyways...I'll pulled up pics from when

we spent a mornin' full of 

multiplication and a well-known

wizard and I knew I needed to share

with you the results.

I'm bringin' back somethin' that I actually made and wrote about last summer.

"I KNOW

my students are goin' to FLIP over.

No really...they are goin' to squeal when

I give this to them and aren't even goin' to complain

about doin' math.

I am in love, love, love with my 

Wizards, Witches, and Wands

a Multi-Digit Multiplication Task Cards game.

I didn't have any students with me this summer to show

this in action, so I begged bossed

my amazin' mommy and her sweet friend Pris

into playin' the game.

They whined about not bein' able to use

a calculator (sound familiar), 

but they finally agreed to do it 

the old school way."

(I am puttin' Wizards, Witches, and Wands in my TpT store for

50% off for Monday.  Please be kind and leave some

love if you download this product.) 

I was able to test this out in my classroom and I 

was CORRECT...the kids FLIPPED!

Look at all those smiles....those were GENUINE smiles...NOT prompted.
There was tons of excitement and chatter as the kids moved around
to solve the multiplication problem on each character task card.
What a great multiplication motivator!
I will definitely be pullin' this back out after everyone
has mastered their facts and earned their
Fact Family Behavior Beads that I wrote about HERE last week.

Two summers ago I made a lot of recycled wine cork crafts for 

one of my Monday Made Its.

You can read about them HERE from my post

"Monday Made It...A lot of grapes had to be tested for this".

My Daddy Rose grows grapes...grapes for wine.

Lots of grapes have to be tested to make sure they

are okay for the rest of us to consume...well not me...right now.

I took the corks that have been saved for me the past

two years and put them to good use to make some 

decorations for my parents lil' wine storage room.

I just hot glued the corks on to a cardboard letter "R".

I think it turned out perfectly and matches the storage room.

Below are some previous wine cork crafts.

Make an earring holder out of recycled wine corks

I'm lookin' forward to hoppin' over to 4th Grade Frolics to see

 what everyone else has made and 

to get some much needed inspiration!

Happy Monday, friends!
