Monday Made It {My First This Summer!}

Wahooo!! I'm so excited to be linking up for the first time this summer with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It!

Since I'm across the country visiting my sister in WA, I have no room in my suitcase for tangible MMI's, so I've been working on digital things.

So, without further ado-- here's my first MMI:

And my second MMI:

Both of these products are available in my TPT Store! Be sure to check out all of the other wonderful MMI's :)

Monday Made It #4!

A day late- but better than never!! I've had most of the materials for this project, but couldn't find the wooden letters I wanted.

My inspiration came from Elizabeth's previous Monday Made It from Fun in Room 4B:

And here is mine:

I'm not in love with the letters...I Really LOVE those curly ones like Elizabeth's...but sadly we don't have a Hobby Lobby anywhere near me, so these ones will do!! I can't wait to hang it up in my new classroom!!

Don't forget to link up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for her fabulous linky party!

Monday Made It #3

I feel like I haven't posted in forever! I've been busy working on my teacher binder (not ready yet) and my math workshop bulletin.

I'm linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics again for her Monday Made It linky party!

Here is a preview of my first Monday Made It:

I was inspired by this one from Clutter Free Classroom:

My Second Monday Made It:

I was loving all those DIY scrapbook paper clothespins all over Pinterest, so I got to work with my Mod Podge!! I plan on putting magnets on some and hot-gluing thumb tacks for others to use to hang student work and anchor charts on bulletins.

Monday Made It #2!

Okay, so I may be two days late, but better late than never!!!

I'm again linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It Linky Party!

If you've made something for your classroom that you'd like to share, click on the picture above to link up!

My first Monday Made It is another inspiration from Pinterest as well as from many of you who have shared yours as a Monday Made It. 

My color scheme for my classroom (which I don't have yet) this year is going to be green and blue with hints of black and possibly pink :) I flipped the letters over and traced them on the back of scrapbook paper, cut out the traced shape, sprayed the letters with spray adhesive, and placed the scrapbook paper on them. I plan on mod-podging them for extra durability! 

My second Monday Made It this week is some pillow covers I have been working on with my Great Aunt Lillian (she's pretty crafty with the sewing machine and has been teaching me some of her skills!)

I plan on using these for my reading area in the classroom. I used this tutorial to get a basic idea of how much fabric I would need and what steps to take. They were pretty easy, although my Aunt and I are perfectionists and like to chat as we work, so each set did end up taking us about 3 hours! I bought the fabric at Jo-Anns (using a 40% off coupon, of course!). I bought 1 yard of each fabric (4 pillows total) and still have enough fabric to make one of those cute pennant banners that are all over Pinterest! Yay- that's a future Monday Made It :)

Monday Made It #1!

I'm so excited to share with you my first Monday Made It!!

Click on the picture to visit Tara's blog and link up to the fun!

My first project was creating the teacher toolbox that is all over Pinterest right now! I got the labels from Elizabeth at Fun in Room 4B!

My second project was really quick but turned out super cute! I was inspired by Classroom DIY to create this re-purposed Pringles can:

Here is hers:

and... here is mine:

I think I'm going to use it for math fact power towers, but I'm waiting until I have a job so I can gear it towards my grade level.

That's it for now! Thanks to Tara for hosting this fun linky party!!!
