Monday Made It

Today I'm so excited to be linking up with Tara's Made It Mondays.  I haven't really crafted a lot this summer for my classroom because we aren't allowed in our rooms yet and I will be in a different room this year, which has a different floor plan/layout than my room last year.  It's hard for me to really craft/create things for a space that I haven't really spent time in, other than dumping my stuff in it the last week of school. 

However, Hobby Lobby's finally put their scrapbook paper backs on sale, so I picked a up a pack of primary colors, and got busy. :) 


 
Ever since I first pinned this from kbkonnected , I have been in LOVE.  I plan on putting it right outside my door, so the students really have to look at it every morning when they come in. :)

kbkonnected: Fantastic idea! coolcatteacher: kicksandgiggles: <3 Great sign for a classroom door.
This sign pretty much sums up exactly how I would like my students to feel when they walk into my room.  I want my classroom to be a safe place where they feel loved respected, valued, and cared for.  My parents went through a pretty nasty split up while I was in elementary school/middle school and school was always my safe haven.   I could walk into the doors of my classroom and just escape the nastiness that was my home life.  I added a few terms like mathematicians, readers, and writers because I am a self contained classroom.  Then as walking the dog I realized I should probably add historians because well I do teach Social Studies.  I'll probably go back and make "When You Enter This Classroom" in a bigger font too. 

In other news, my Guide Math book should be arriving today, finally! My package got lost somehow in the facility and I'm just now expecting to get a package that I ordered June 20th.  Poor played, Amazon.  Poor played.  I typically LOVE Amazon, but I think they are punishing me for selecting Super Saver Shipping.  HOWEVER, there is a Amazon facility within 45 minutes of my house, super saver shipping is usually about the same as normal shipping for me. ;) 

Make sure you stop by Tara's blog for lots of other Monday Made It projects! :)

  10. I have that very door posted to my pinterest and have been wanting to do that. How big did yours end up being? It looks a little smaller than the door, but it could be just the picture.

  26. Would you add this to your TPT store? I'd love a copy but am not that talented when it comes to creatively using different fonts.

    Thanks
