Teacher Week {2013}

It's day 3 of Teacher Week and today is all about organizing our classrooms!  We go back to school on August 26th, so I still have a ways to go on my classroom.  I actually look forward to decorating my class every year and love making it bright and comfy.

Does your classroom library need a little organization?  Then this is perfect for you.  I have included 54 labels for book bins for an elementary classroom library. Different genres, authors, and series are included. Look at preview to see all labels.

Series: I Survived, American Girls, Wayside School, Stink, Geronimo Stilton, Boxcar Children, Babysitter's Club, Magic Tree House, and many more!

You can purchase this item for $3.00 from my TpT store.

I love anything and everything crafty…paint, glitter, stickers, fabric,  hot glue guns, Michaels, AC Moore, and the list goes on and on.  Pinterest is by far the motherload of DIY ideas.  I could spend hours just finding future projects that I would love to try.  Here are a few of my favorites.  Click on the name to see how to make these awesome crafts.

DIY Jewelry Holder

Here is my take on the DIY Jewelry Holder.  I made the top one and my sister made the bottom one.  It was fun and easy to make. 
 

 Materials:

*  11-inch-by-14-inch shadow box

*  Craft knife or scissors

*  Wallpaper remnant

*  All-purpose glue

*  Drill

*  Screw hooks

How-To:

1. Remove the glass from the shadow box. Cut a wallpaper remnant to fit the back of the box, and adhere with glue.
2. Create a layout of hooks. Drill holes for screw hooks in the backing. Insert hooks.
3. Hang shadow box on wall using attached hardware.

 
Now back to school…

I created a fun Place Value Game for my students to practice and reinforce this skill. Students will match up the standard, expanded, and word form for numbers up to the hundreds place. The theme is very cute and my students LOVE playing this game.
