Monday Made It

It's the 4th of July!Happy Birthday 240th Birthday America!

Happy Monday friends! I am linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for my first Monday Made It of the summer!

In my last post I shared that I am moving grade levels because I am looping with my class. Hooray! They only down side is that I have to move to a classroom that is WAY smaller. I'm looking at the bright side of things though and looking at this as an opportunity for new classroom decor. So my Monday Made It's are to pretty up my new digs yet be functional.

I got to making some new number posters for my classroom. I love having bright colors against a black background. It makes everything POP! Last year my Vocabulary bulletin board was set up like this so I decided to make it into my theme for my whole classroom this year. Brights on Black!

So continuing with this theme I had to make a new alphabet set because it is time to retire the one that keeps fallen off my wall. 

I made a set in both D'Nealian Print and Cursive!

Aren't bright colors fun?! There are a few more items that I am going to add to these sets but that will have to be saved for another Monday Made It! ;)

First Monday Made It!!!

I've been a busy beaver this past week. Between teaching my Kindersmarties in summer school and working to recover things lost in what I will from here on out refer to as "The Great Computer Crash of 2014", I have been beginning to imagine the 2014-2015 school year and even dare I say it allowed myself to get excited about it. Now I'm not saying I'm ready to say good-bye to the flip flops, sunblock, and afternoons spent on the beach just yet, but what teacher doesn't LOVE the excitement of preparing for a new school year?! Freshly waxed floors, newly sharpened pencils, and new classroom decor. Is there any time more exciting to a teacher? Anyway, I managed to carve out a little time to make a few new items for my classroom this week. I'm even excited to say that I'm ready to post my very first Monday Made It! Ahhhh, so exciting :D Woohoo, I get to join 4th Grade Frolics linky party!

These are number cards for my math wall. In the beginning of the year when we are focused on those place value skills, I like to have the numbers and their spellings posted on the wall so that we can become proficient in word form. I also made some new schedule cards and headers for my behavior management chart to match my decor.
