I have been spendin' countless hours up at school to get
ready for Orientation and the First Day of School
this week, but I'm takin' some time out
to share some made-its that have popped up in my room
because I'm crushin' on them big time!
What better way to show them off than to link up
with my sweet friend Tara from 4th Grade Frolics
for Monday Made It!
My podmate, Jeanne, came up with this fabulous idea
to display student work in our hallways and I get
giddy every time I walk out into our hallways.
I can't wait to hang some stuff up their
to show off my kiddos' creations.
My sweet friend Elizabeth from Hodges Herald
also did somethin' else similar
last week for her Monday Made It.
They are laminated pieces of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper.
Clothespins are hidin' under the 4 inch circles
that are also made out of scrapbook paper.
The three different colors match each of our classrooms.
Mine: The bright colors with black circles.
I will place rockstar pictures of my kids on the circles.
Jeanne's: The blues, greens, oranges, and grays.
Anna Catherine's: The reds, grays and blacks.
*I wish I would've taken a close-up photo of their
circles, they are all differnet colors of scrapbook paper also.
This year my 5th grade team has chosen to have
Learning Goals & Scales boards.
We put up ELA, Math and Science/Social Studies.
After we have discussed the standard and learning goals
that are in an "I Can" stament, the kiddos
will move their number to reflect their
level of understanding.
Students are able to move their numbers as
we become more familiar with each standard until
they have mastered them.
Standards and progression scales are printed on Astrobrights paper
and displayed
in sheet protectors.
Numbers are backed with adhesive Glue Dots
to stick on the fabric that covers the board.
This is my favorite part of my room this year.
ELA: Fireball Fuschia paper
Math: Lunar Blue paper
Science: Terra Green paper
Social Studies: Solar Yellow paper

My biggest question I was askin' myself when we started
printin' all our standards was how in the world
was I goin' to store all of the papers?
The lightbulb went off when I was in Walmart.
I found these expandable files and have separated
out the standards by sections so they each have their own pocket inside.
Example: Math
1) Numbers and Operations in Base Ten
2) Operations & Algebraic Thinking
3) Number and Operations: Fractions
4) Measurement
5) Geometry
My last made-it isn't somethin' I actually made, but
I had to share because they are cute!
I am notorius for checkin' Jane.com's daily mornin' email...
sometimes before I'm actually fully awake.
This display is the result of one of those early mornin'
email browsin' sessions.
I bought 4 packs (pink, yellow, green, blue)
I have my very own Flutterby Butterflies flyin' on my wall!
This just makes me smile!
Happy Monday, friends!
