First I have to say I learned about blog buttons today, brushed up on my hyperlinking, and learned a few new tricks on live writer (I’m not patting myself on the back - just in awe of how much I have to learn and how a little messing around with buttons can help you learn a lot.
)
Bulletin Boards - I totally got the bulletin board idea for Thanksgiving and I’m pretty sure for Christmas too from the wonderful Cara Carroll at …
She started my blogging venture and opened me up to a whole world of wonderful blogging ladies who I will be constantly referencing because they have made me, what I call “cutesy with a cause” . They have helped me become a teacher who constantly looks for those great hooks to make my students learning more memorable. I always had that desire just didn’t always know what to do. Plus, as my team could probably tell you- I am an idea junkie – I’ll try to implement most anything once if I think it will benefit my students .
Sorta started rambling but what I meant to say 500 words ago is that Cara Carroll has once again inspired a bulletin board for our main hallway – I think we should do a New Years themed one like hers where they write their goal for the New Year!
Buckets – How do you make great do- it- yourself stuff for your classroom?! The answer is ask your sis and bro-in law to make it for you for Christmas!
I originally saw the idea over at …
Printed off the tutorial and then gave it to my bro-in-law! So, excited they did this for me! So functional too! I mean they are already holding my Christmas presents I’m taking home…pretty soon they will be both a storage of materials and cute seats! (my classroom theme is jungle-hence zebra ribbons to pull off the top- and I have a lot of jungle green color in my classroom if you couldn’t guess).
Now I just need to find a new chair to sit on to read books to my kiddos…cuz well I’ve sorta broken two in the last two years! I had a short kitchen stool that was covered in leopard print that I got at a craft fair, but the top broke off last week and it was kinda getting a little wobbly. The one before was metal and bent while I was sitting on it! (I did buy it at a garage sale for a $1). I was tempted to buy one at Hobby Lobby tonight that was Zebra covered but it was $40 bucks! So…I’m gonna keep looking. I need ideas on chairs that will last!
Signing off for tonight…enough rambling…
