Monday Made It #2 for me!!

I have had such a great time starting my little blog.  What a great experience!  I especially love Mondays......I know, that really sounds weird!!!  Well, the only reason I love them is because I get to see all the creative posts from all of you wonderful and talented bloggers!!! 
So........I couldn't wait until Monday to share my teacher organization binder so I kinda snuck it in on Saturday.  You can check it out here!!
Today, I am sharing several items that I have completed for my classroom.  I have been working like crazy and can't wait to show you my classroom reveal next week.  Here is a little sneak preview!!

Made It #1

BEFORE

AFTER

This chair has been in my basement forever!!  I was inspired by a little blog entitled Things We Fancy to give it a makeover!! I just love it and it has now become my new teacher chair.  It was very easy, but I have to admit that my sweet friend's husband did the seat for me. Thanks Laura and Matt!!! 

Made It #2

I am so excited about this little project.  I stumbled upon this idea at The Teacher Geek.  I just loved the idea and got busy making one for my classroom.  I have all of the 2nd grade sight words filtering through the frame. It is super easy!!  I also found this cool site(here) that gives you other ideas for digital frame uses in the classroom as well as tips on all the techy stuff!!  I am really not sure exactly how I am going to use it yet. My frame actually has a remote so that it can be paused and moved forwards and backwards.  I thought about possibly using it during my word work time.  Do you guys have any wonderful ideas on how to make the most of my digital word wall??

Made It #3



I know....I know....I showed you guys my clipboards last week, but if you remember I said that I wanted to make a few each day or so until I had a class set.  Well......that is exactly what I have been doing (with a little help).  These are my two latest creations!!  I am gearing up for football season as I am sure many of you are doing!  I just happen to be a HUGE Dawgs fan!!  I just hope I am able to part with them and allow my students to use them.  It will be difficult to say the least!! 


Made It #4

This is the trapezoid table at the front of my room.  I am always looking for more storage so what better way than to add a table skirt.  It looks neat and hides the storage!!  This one was really fun because I did not call on my sister who is very handy with a sewing machine.  Instead, I decided to do it myself!! It is amazing what a little stitch witchery and an iron will do.  I also covered the seat of my stool.  I used a foam egg crate mattress cover for my cushion. I actually had it left over from my crate seats.  I was very happy with the way it all came out!! 

I go back to school TOMORROW....Can you believe it???? I am going to be a very busy girl!!  I am really looking forward to getting everything completed in my classroom and showing you my big reveal!!  Stay Tuned!!
