Made it Monday and SALE SALE SALE!!


I am so excited to be participating in Teachers Pay Teachers big sale over the next two days! Both as a seller and a buyer ;) 

Hopefully I sell SOMETHING to soften the blow of my full shopping cart! Ha! 

I just added a few simple little things to my store that I made for my classroom and I am really excited about!

And it is Monday so of course I am linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for 


My first two "made its" are already in my Teachers Pay Teachers store (and on sale - woohoo!) and I cannot wait to get into my classroom and put them up today! 

First up is my chevron brights days of the week and months of the year.

I am loving these for lots of reasons! For one, I cannot get enough of these adorable little icons for each month! I mean, how stinkin' cute is that penguin?!? 
Besides looking cute, the different colored borders and icons help give visual learners something they can relate to each day of the week and month of the year.


Auditory and Kinesthetic learners have no fear... there is something for you too!! I also included links to 5 different days of the week songs as well as 5 months of the year songs. That way you can not only find which one is a good fit for your class, but you also have a variety and can change it up mid year to breath new life into your calendar routine! 



These next little cutties will go on my calendar as well. Calendar time is a big deal in my room, I will have to write a post about what all we do during calendar later!



These chevron apples can be used many different ways:

Pages 3 – 14 have apples with numbers 1 – 184 which should be enough to help you count every day of the school year! (If you need additional numbers please feel free to e-mail me.)
All odd numbers are on blue apples and all even numbers are on green apples.
These are designed to help students recognize patterns, identify odd and even numbers, and practice counting by 2’s!
Pages 15 – 17 have apples counting by 5’s from 5 to 180
The circle behind the numbers are purple so they are easily identified when counting by 5’s
These apples can be used instead of the 5’s and 10’s on pages 3 – 14.
Pages 17 – 18 have apples counting by 10’s  from 10 to 180
The circle behind the numbers are purple so they are easily identified when counting by 5’s.
There is a pink background  behind each apple to help students easily identify the 10’s.
These apples can be used instead of the 10’s on pages 3 – 14.

Here is an example of how I plan on using them in my room:



This ways, students can easily distinguish odd and even numbers or when counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's!


My final made it for the week is a clothespin redo.

I try to send all of the things that have kids' names on them home with them at the end of the year. Somehow, these little clips didn't make it home and because I am a hoarder teacher I could not just throw them away! :)

So I took my clothespin, some cardboard letter circles that I found in with my old scrap-booking stuff, and a few coats of paint and....

Voila! Letter clips for workstations!



Easy peasy! :)

Be sure to go check back with 4th Grade Frolics to see her fabulous made its, along with many other teachers!
