I've been working in my classroom so much last week that this Monday's Made It is more of just a free printable for you all. I think I've almost made everything I need for my classroom. The first printable is hand signals. I think this will cut down on distractions. I also needed some posters to remind my students of the different types of sentences. Of course they just had to match my theme. Both are freebies! Click on the pictures to download.

I found these last year and adapted to match my class. If anyone knows the source. I'd love to give credit.

Does setting up a classroom count? I've made my bulletin boards and tissue pom poms.

Just finished up for the day! I was able to get a couple of things accomplished. I put contact paper over my ugly cabinets, hung my daisy balls, and put bee labels on my cubbies.

Want to make your own bees? Check out Sarah's blog.

Contact paper found at Marshalls and TJ Maxx but I also bought a roll full price here

Inspired by Mrs. Phippen

This packet was intended for many uses. It’s perfect for any bee lover. It can be used as an AR quiz tracker, no name system, transportation display, attendance, lunch count, graphing and more! The little bees could even be used as calendar tags, bus tags, name tags or cubby numbers. When I call on a students I pick a bee out of a container. Basically the possibilities are endless!!!

Resolutions School Style

I'm linking up with Amanda, from Teaching Maddeness, and sharing some of my New {School} Year Resolutions. Oh how I love resolutions but rarely keep them up.
#1 I want to keep an uncluttered guided reading table. I always make piles but this has got to STOP. This year I'm going to try and not leave school unless my desk is cleared.
#2 I want to find a teaching/blogging/life balance. I want to make sure I'm out of school by 3:30 and off the computer by 8:00. I've been known to stay up til at least 12 :00 on school nights.
#3 I want to be very efficient with using our new online grading system. This will be my first year keeping grades online. Wish me LUCK!
#4 Plan more field trips and write more grants.
#5 Complete my student's scrapbook each month and organize pictures for the end of the year DVD. Don't wait until MAY!
