Monday Made It

It's Monday.

Which means we have another entry for Tara's Awesome Linky Party, Monday Made It.

Holy Guacamole!

Alright, so school has not officially started and I'm already knee-deep and a week behind.

Busy, busy, busy, I was with workshops, meetings, and Kindergarten Camp.

Oh ya, we had a big 'ol Kinder Camp last week, and I got to meet a handful of my soon-to-be babies. All I have to say about it is... I was T-I-R-E-D by three o'clock!

Also, I'm going to apologize to y'all now, too, because I have been a terrible blogger and follower. I have so many unread posts on my Google Reader that I am officially afraid to open it. Yikes! Didn't somebody have a Resolution Linky Party going on right now?

Well, I've already FAILED at the whole "Time Management" resolution I always make.

In order to feel like I have accomplished something for last week, I was on a project making marathon yesterday.

Of course, almost all of my projects were courtesy of you awesome bloggers out there!

Thank you!!!

1. 'How Do We Get Home' Clip Chart by Krista Carlson from The Second Grade Superkids blog.

*Maybe this will help me keep track of my students better {fingers crossed.}

 2. Five Finger Hand Signals by Run! Miss Neslon's Got the Camera blog.

*I love these! They are so bright and cheery. Need to find a spot for them...hmmm....

3. Whole Brain Teaching's Super Improvers Wall Headers by Little Minds at Work blog.

*I can't wait to hang this up in my room. It is so cute!

As you know, I use W.B.T. in my classroom and the Super Improvers Wall will be a new addition for me. It is a great way to reinforce positive behavior.

4. Brain Breaks Cards and Sticks by The Sweet Life of Third Grade blog and Keep Calm and Teach On blog.

*I've included Harry Kindergarten sticks because my kids LOVE Harry Kindergarten!

They are over the moon to dance to one of his YouTube videos.

5. Reading Comprehension Posters courtesy of Kim Adsit's website.

I just love these, too. I've been meaning to make some of these for some time now. They'll be great to use during guided reading groups.

*Use Post-Its to complete the charts again and again!

6. A little chevron art for the wall.

*I started quilling {paper rolling.} Not great, but it was fun and I could do it! However, taping off the canvas was really flipping difficult. Don't look too closely at it!

7. Last, two little elves left me four seat crate covers at my front door. Merry Christmas to me! Okay, it was my sister and my dad who made them for me. I didn't even know about it. What a nice surprise. :)

*Here are some 'before they were crate seats' pics courtesy of an elf:

Well, it's late and I still have a ton more to do before my Common Core workshops this week.

More time tick-tick-ticking away...

Happy Monday!
