Monday Made It

Hi everybody! Tara over at Fourth Grade Frolics has the best Linky Party next to Currently. Monday Made It is so inspiring. I love all of the ideas. Also, I'm getting a kick out of the trends that come out of it. I've seen a ton of Teacher Toolboxes!

Now, I don't think I have a creative bone in my body, so I am very much appreciative of your posts, crafts, comments, instructions, handouts, and such.

Without you - OY - I don't know what I'd do!

Here are my Monday Made It's for this week:

1. Creating a Moment

When I saw this craft on last week's Monday Made It, I knew I had to have it for my classroom. I liked it so much I made another one for my sister's classroom, too.

Such a great idea!

Mrs. Plum at There's No Place Like Second Grade has a fantastic brand new blog. 

You just gotta go and check it out. Awesome!

2. What's That Word?

Sight words, high frequency words, popcorn words, Dolch words, whatever you call them our kiddos need to learn them. Preferably, they can practice their word knowledge playing a fun game. Which is why I purchased Reagan's Sight Word Stick Centers!

She has a bunch of great games for sight words. You can buy it {here}

So far, I have just made one container, but I have plans for more. I will have an aid in my room this year and I will need plenty of activities for her to work with her students.

 I have been saving a bunch of wipes containers and now I have a good use for them. Yippee!

Well, that's all for this week. It seems like August is just around the corner, and I'll have to put the pedal to the metal and get more done before I have to go to work...

Last Thursday, my school faculty had a brief meeting to discuss a major restructuring of our curriculum. Well, I found out that I will not be teaching a traditional first grade, but I will be the reading teacher for both first graders AND kindergartners. Kind of a shocker for this gal. So, I went on a shopping spree on TPT because I don't have anything for Kindergarten!

Think I spent too much???

If you have any words of wisdom to share with me for surviving kinders please let me hear it. I'm afraid!

Please make sure to head on over to Fourth Grade Frolics and comment on all of those great entries for this week. You know we love to get comments!
