Teachers Pay Teachers

Have you been contemplating ways to bring in extra money? I would highly recommend taking a look at Teachers Pay Teachers. I've bought loads of great stuff and also managed to sell a fair amount. I'm still navigating the waters of how to bring in an actual income using the site, but slowly and surely things are growing.

If you are considering signing up as a selling please use this link:

(Using the referral doesn't effect your income at all.)

I have found that the more I create, the more thoughtful I am about aligning to common core (which my school doesn't use) and building creative and dynamic lessons. I also focus on creating things that I actually use in the classroom. Two birds, one stone! This way all of the planning hours that I put into my classroom have a small side benefit too.

Bulletin Board: Room on the Broom

This year for Halloween I had both families who were avid celebrators of the holiday, and those who did not celebrate it at all.  To find a nice compromise we did a book study of "Room on the Broom" written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Sheffler. I wrapped the idea around friendship and kindness rather than Halloween and everyone was happy. To make the bulletin board I used the fairy tale printable boarder from Sparkle Box UK, http://resources.sparklebox.me.uk/7000-8000/sb7597.pdf Then I layered construction paper to make the broom and took pictures of the students, teacher, and aides all sitting sideways on a chair against a blank background.  The children asked to add in the animals so I simply copied their pictures from our copy of the book. There are so many wonderful resources for this story and I can't speak more highly of the short film that was made in 2012, it is wonderful!

O Octopus

The kiddos in my class are used to seeing octopus tentacles being grilled on skewers in the market stalls, but making a crafty one wasn't too much of a stretch! I'm happy to report that as a class that data for letter recognition and phonetic sounds has jumped up greatly since I launched the letter collages.

Plarn Project

The kiddos chose what they would like to decorate our screen wall with and a nautical theme won. Kelley fish and beta fish now grace our outdoor wall. The wind moves the plastic strips so nicely. The space has become so much more colorful and fun, hooray reusing!!
