CRICUT

I have to say that I love my cricut machine. At first, I didn't use it much, but now I have figured out how to hook it up to my computer and cut right from my computer! This is perfect since I just got my new organizer for behind my desk. I am now making labels for the bins for all the things I will keep in it. Oh, I also got the stuff to make a time out timer for my classroom. I will be making it tonight and working on the labels for my bins throughout the weekend. I will post pics tomorrow!

Chair Pockets

Spent the day shopping for the material for my new chair pockets! I am having them made to be color coded like my room. So, I will have 5 each of red, blue, yellow, green, orange, and purple. My room is going to be so colorful and easy to manage! I can just call whatever color table to join or move. I am trying to do one thing each day to get ready for next year. As soon as my chair pockets are ready, I will post pictures!

Sight Word Sticker Book

One of the things I have been working on. The last two years I have had a huge poster up in my room that I used to track my students as they learned their popcorn words (sight words). It became hard to keep up with. And I also tried to come up with a way for students to have access to their popcorn words during writing time to help with spelling. I have now come up with a way to combine these two things into one. Voila, the individual student sight word sticker book. I will give out one page a week with the new sight words for that week. Throughout the week, I will have individual students come over and read the sight words to me. If they know the words they get a sticker next to it. If not, we can try that word again next week along with the new words for that week. I am laminating them and putting them on a ring, so the students can keep them in a bucket on their table and pull them out when they need them for spelling. I can't wait to see how they work out!  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dtawASU4SsFEoizlZ98kqk1y4FLG6SQjhYXU0A8vHCg/edit
