Monday Made It (my first)

I am SOOOOO excited to be linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for my very first Monday Made It.  I am new to the blogging world so this is very exciting for me. 
I have been VERY busy, so I have a few things to share with all of you. 

Made It #1

Okay.....so I have been admiring all the wonderful crate seats that you guys have been posting.  I just couldn't rest until I had some of my very own.  My room has a red, black and white theme.  I found these wonderful bandannas at Walmart for $1.  I just could not pass them up.  They fit my crates perfectly!!  Walmart has lots of fun colors in bandannas......you should check it out!!!  I only made three seats.  I decided to use them in my reading center instead of at my table like many of you did.  They are currently storing my math books.....LOVE IT!!

Made It #2

This is my WHERE ARE YOU board.  It was inspired by Second Grade Style.  I decided to use the stone magnets and instead of having students move their numbers when they leave the room I have them move the stones.  Each child has a stone with their picture on it. 

Here is a close up of the stones.....This little cutie just happens to belong to me!! 

Made It # 3

I am very excited about my new birthday board.  I was inspired by a post from Erica Bohrer First Grade .  On the first day of school I will take pictures of my students holding the date of their birthday and place it under the corresponding month.  And........guess what??  This little project did not cost me anything but a little time.  I simply used scrapbook paper, sticky letters, and ribbon all of which I already had.  LOVE THAT!!! 

Here are a few closeups!!

Made it # 4

I have had the most FUN creating these babies!!  I have seen tons of tutorials and projects on covering clipboards.  I finally decided to try it out. I am absolutely in love with them.  I plan to make a few each day or so until I have a whole class set.  This is another project that did not cost me much at all.  I again had all the scrapbook paper.  I ALWAYS have Modge Podge on hand.  The clipboards are my old wore out ones from my classroom (they really needed a makeover).  The only thing that I had to purchase was ribbon.  

I found these for $1 each at The Dollar General.  This is wired ribbon which is a little awkward to work with for this project.  I just loved the ribbon so much that I decided to buy it anyway and remove the wire.  Worked like a charm!! 

I also found this ribbon at Walmart. It was only .47 cents each. GOTTA LOVE A DEAL!!

Thank you much to 4th Grade Frolics for hosting this linky.  I really look forward to Mondays!!!  Now.....off I go to read about all your wonderful ideas!!!
