Monday Made It- June 16th


      I am linking up for Monday Made It over at 4th Grade Frolics!  I have been busy crafting away and working on SO many projects, but most are not finished!!  So, I decided to share even if they weren't all of the way finished!
  
      My first Monday Made It is the unfinished project that I just had to share!  I found some SUPER CUTE ideas on Pinterest that I am blending together to create my new bookshelf for my classroom.  Here are are few highlights or a sneak preview!
I went to Lowe's and mentioned that I was a teacher.  They said I could grab a few pallets from the back!  So, I have begun my project.  The word BOOK will be used, but you will have to wait until the final reveal to see the finished project! I had a little help with the sawing, but other than that I have done it mostly myself.




      My second isn't necessarily something I made, but grew!  I was able to pick a ton of lettuce, a few onions, and a beet yesterday!  We planted a TON of veggies with the hope to can green beans and salsa to last throughout next year, as well as freezing some other goodies.






      Last I wanted to share a packet I created recently for Third Grade Science and Social Studies that match Ohio's New Learning Standards.  My third grade team spent a lot of time last year creating integrated units.  One thing we noticed quickly was that while we spent a lot of time using exit slips in math, we didn't have a daily way to assess how students were doing with social studies and science concepts.  So, as the year went on I began creating these exit slips   I recently added them to Teachers Pay Teachers.  While they are geared toward Ohio's New Learning Standards, they could be adapted to many state standards.

Have a great week!  Don't forget to head over to 4th Grade Frolics and check out the projects everyone has been busy working on!

  1. Ok. You're killing me! I'm so in love with your BOOK, but now I've got wait to see your finished project. Yes, I'm one of those who occasionally peeks at the ending of the book.

    1. Haha! Thanks! I created the items to go on my bookshelf before I even began the shelf! Now my bookshelf is put together and painted. I am hoping to have the finished project on next week!

    1. Tara, thanks for having the linky! I love linking up with Monday Made It! It keeps my motivated! I am actually better at growing veggies than flowers. :)

  3. I can't wait to see the finished pallet project. I always pin those projects, but have never tried to make anything. That one's a little intimidating to me. I feel like I could definitely try the book project though. Thanks so much for sharing!

    1. It was definitely MORE work than I had imagined, but I am hoping it turns out as I have envisioned! Thanks for stopping by!

  4. I can't wait to see what you are doing with your palettes either. I stumbled across a whole yard full of thousands of palettes. I didn't ask for any because I could get some at my dad's ranch, but I couldn't for the life of me think of what I could make with them at the moment. I need to do some Pinterest searching!

    1. Pinterest has TONS of pallet crafts! I am realizing, though that they are harder than they look!

  5. I love fresh produce! I have loads of flowers in my garden, but I'd like to try some vegetables one day. I'm looking forward to seeing your final palette project!

  6. Aw I'm so jealous of your gardening skills. I think I have a black thumb! I have two flower pots at my house. And I killed them. Ugh. Come garden for me!
