Monday Made It- Bunting, Chevron, Herbs, and a Sneak Peak!

      It is time for Monday Made It again! I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics to share what I have been up to!  I have been busy again creating items for my home and classroom.  Here is a peak at what I have been up to!

      My first project was my favorite project that I have been working on.  I am creating a homophone bulletin board for my classroom this year.  I created a no sew bunting to go across the top of my bulletin board!  This is my pretend bulletin board across the floor! I made a mini one and a large one. Click HERE to head over to grab a copy of the homophone word cards.  I blogged about them on Friday's Five for Friday, as well.

      My next project, I bought a chevron decoration set on TpT and used it to create the following items.  It is a HUGE help to get these things backed, laminated, and cut NOW, instead of waiting until the fall. I prepped my new clock labels. (I left my old ones at my old school last year when I moved.) I prepped new bathroom passes.  I am going to punch a hole in the top and string ribbon through, so these can be worn around the neck and DON'T have to be handled in the bathroom!

       I am also creating colored numbers, from this set, to use for grouping students or selecting a student from each table to do a task (collect papers, etc.).

The set I purchased was the one below.  Click on the picture to head over to her TpT to grab your own copy!

      My third project was for home. I took a bunch of basil and other herbs and created basil butter in ice cube trays as well as herbs in olive oil.  I mixed them up, dropped it into the ice cube trays, and let them set over night. It is a great way to preserve your summer herbs, throughout the year!

    

      I have been busy working this summer on my novel studies.  These are the MOST helpful tools for me during the year.  I create novel studies that are mostly text dependent questions, allowing my students to use the text to find evidence, infer, etc.  I also like to create an answer key that helps a TON so that I don't have to re-read the book/chapter each day of instruction, etc. Recently I have been working on my newest book study.  It won't be ready until later this week, but I thought I would give you a preview of what it will be.  If you are familiar with my TpT products, I have a lot of Magic Tree House, Cam Jansen, and Nate the Great.  This is a new series for me that my kiddos LOVED this year. So, here it is!!!  Amber Brown!  So check back soon to grab a copy once it is finished!
