So it's been a while since I posted....no real excuse just summer getting in the way of me being productive. I have been busy with some school stuff though and thought I'd link back up again today and share two projects.
Math It Up!
I've seen a lot of different versions on the web lately but this one I love! First of all - it was FREE! (I love free!) I just printed the title and numbers from Teacher on the Loose (click here) on to some colourful cardstock and laminated them. I just have the pieces laid out on a sheet of foam board for now. I plan on keeping it on the foam board - that way I can just pull it out and use it as a station rather than have it take up precious wall space. I'm undecided about whether or not to use sticky tack or velcro to keep the numbers in place. I want them to be easily changed, but no so easily that they'll fall off. Am leaning towards the velcro...just have to cut 100+ pieces and get sticking! If you have any other great ideas, I'd love to hear them! (Okay...just finished writing this and then checked out Tara's post - Great minds thinking alike???? lol)
Next up...Quick Combinations
I love this! So quick, so easy and has so many functions! My inspiration is a pinterest find (I've only just joined pinterest and it's been dangerous! Could be one of the reasons I haven't been blogging!) Anyway...the pin only had a picture and I don't know where it originally came from! If you know, please let me know so I can give credit!
I just used scraps of laminated cardstock (left over from my Math It Up! project) and stapled them around the clothes hanger. Added some clothes pins and a white board. I can see this being used as a whole class, small group and individual activity. It's awesome! Thanks to the creator, whoever you may be!
Well that's all for today. I officially have 3 weeks left of summer and plan to make the most of it (and not spent all of it on Pinterest!)
Happy Monday everyone!
