End of Year Freebie!

Quick update....

As I am working on the last week of school plans I cam across the Time Capsule I made and did with my class last year. We will be doing it again this year and I thought I would share.
Last year we gave each student a brown lunch sack and let them decorate it with markers and stickers. That is what they used as their "capsule". I kept my classes and they came back to me the first week of 5th grade to collect them. I liked doing it that way, so I knew they wouldn't cheat! And I think they enjoyed it more! It also gave me a chance to see them again in the new year!!!

Hope you can use!

Special Visitor

Jack came to visit me last week in my classroom. He was in heaven because he could actually touch and play with the computers! Had to share!

Diet Water

I love water but sometimes it needs to be spruced up a bit. I am loving my new water....and my friends have gotten hooked on it too.

Ingredients:
Water (duh!)
Half a lemon
Blackberries
4 Strawberries
Mint leaves (to taste)

TADA!

I love it and I drink more water. I will keep the fruit in it all day and just keep adding water. Very easy!
DRINK MORE WATER!

Stay on Target

End of year....teachers are tired and the kids know it! So they try to push it. Students AND teachers need a daily reminder that school is not over until the very last day. (At least my students do, and I do!) I put this bulletin board up behind my desk. Great visual for the kids...and ME!

The board says "Stay On Target Still ___ School Days Left!"

I made an arrow with construction paper and pipe cleaners...hey I'm not an artist!

What is "not on target"? Not studying for tests, talking too much, no materials

I used tacks so that I could line it up first. Then I stapled it down. Learned this the hard way!

Here is the big picture! Only 9 days left!

Floral Chandelier

I have to share this amazing floral chandelier that we (Busy Chick Planning) made for a wedding party. We used it as the "chandelier" above the dance floor. It turned out beautiful! We will be making custom wreaths...so email busychickplanning@gmail.com for pricing and info!
