Monday Made It

I've had a pretty busy summer creating so I thought I would show you a few highlights in this edition on Monday Made It!

We are blessed with walls at school that are just a HUGE bulletin board. No cinder blocks everything can be stapled into the wall. I have a few quotes that I have hung up for years but I jazzed them up a bit! I bought this wooden frames from Michales Craft store and just painted them the colors I needed and placed my min posters in them! As you can see I had a little help. I can't wait to hang these on the walls!

My second project I want to share is these adorable invitations I made from my son's Birthday. I almost always order through Shutterfly and end up spending WAY too much and it never dawned on me that I could just make it! I love the way they came out AND I saved myself a ton of money by making a JPEG and printing them at Walmart!

 Yup that is a crayon with my blog name on it! How cool is that. We took a small road trip to the Crayola Experience and had a blast! There is so much for the kids to do, and the gift shop is a teacher's dream come true! If you get the chance I would totally make the trip. They have a few locations just click on the image below to see their page!

Here are a few shots of my own loves having fun!

Summer allows me to get in the kitchen more and I discovered two fantastic recipes! The first one was for this pleo granola. It made the whole house smell wonderful while it was in the oven! You can find the recipe HERE

 The second recipe the whole family enjoyed was Spinach Mac and Cheese! Everyone loves Mac and Cheese but throwing spinach in just makes you feel a bit better while pigging out!

Well that's it for me! Please stop by Fourth Grade Frolics page to see what other fabulous bloggers have been making!

Here is my "All About Me."

Years Teaching

Yep, you read that right! I have been teaching 11 years! When I started teaching we didn't have TPT, teacher blogs and iPhones! How things have changed! Most of my teaching has been in Kindergarten with a few years of 1st grade dabbled in between.

I can't live without my...

Kids and husband of course! I have 3 men in my life and I can't imagine it with out them.

Seriously, how handsome are they?

Favorite School Supplies

My favorite Pens to use are RSVP fine point. As teachers we all have a pen we love and this is mine! My other favorite is Mr.Sketch markers, I'm pretty sure I own 10 sets! They work great for anchor charts and my students love when I correct their work with the "smelly markers."

 My favorite Book

Pete the Cat books are my favorites! They are so catchy and my kids LOVE them. When we came across a Pete the Cat book at a book fair the kids screamed as if they had seen a rock star!

 My favorite Kinder Blog

I LOVE Deedee Wills' blog! I'm pretty sure she is one of the big reasons I became a blogger. She runs her classroom like a well oiled machine and it looks great! She also makes some pretty awesome resources. I was lucky enough to attend a few of her workshops a year and a half ago and she is just as amazing in person! I also was able to see her again when I attended the TPT conference in Vegas this summer. If you haven't already, I highly suggest you visit her blog! (click the image!)

I love Kindergarten because...

My kiddos make such AMAZING growth! My Loves come barely knowing their letters and numbers and leave me reading and solving equations. I love how their little minds work and the excitement they have for learning!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
