Alphabet & Number Cards – Monday Made-It

August 12, 2013

We’re now into the double digits of August.  Years ago that was the time I was ready to head back into the classroom (we start after Labor Day).  Now, I drag my feet a little longer with each passing year.  Don’t get me wrong…I’m definitely planning and creating behind the scenes, I’m just holding off on crossing the threshold.  I know that once I enter it’s hard to turn back and step away.
 
 
 

So a few days ago I posted about my new laminator.  I am so excited because I have so many great games and purchased products that I can’t wait to get printed and laminated.  I’m trying to get a few new additions for my classroom décor this year, too. 

 
 
 
For years I have been staring up at a functional, yet very simple and slightly boring alphabet line in my classroom.  I could have just gone to TpT and found one that someone already made, but nah…I’m the girl who just made her own.  I wanted bright colors and pictures (with words) for each card.  What do you think?
 
 
 
 
 
We have Everyday Math in our district.  This comes with a ready-made number line that circles the upper walls of my classroom and a class number grid that I post on the wall.  However, I wanted some larger visual number cards.  I thought it would be good to add the word form of each number and a ten-frame.
 
 
So, do you think my mighty laminator can handle almost 40 more pages of laminating?  I do!  I just hope my printer can keep up with all of the ink 🙂
 
I’m linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made-It.

Now it’s your turn! 😊
Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They us Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They use blankets, stools, and other furniture to make it as big as they can. Then they fill it with their bedding and stuffed animals. Inside, you can find them reading books, playing games, and giggling. I think that’s why I was drawn to this book. This story follows a group of friends as they build new forts to match each season. This book is jam-packed with verbs and will have your kids dreaming of their next fort creation!

When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeare When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeared from her neighborhood, she realizes there aren’t enough green areas for them. Around the same time, she discovers that the mayor is looking for ideas on what to do with some public land nearby. That’s when Farah springs into action. She writes a letter to the mayor with plans for a community garden filled with beautiful flowers and healthy foods. But she isn’t the only one with plans for the empty lot. Can Farah get her community involved to see her idea come to life?⁣

When kids want to get involved and make a difference in their community, they might need some help getting started. Books can help! Rise Up and Write It just might encourage and inspire the next young activist. I love that this book includes little envelopes filled with surprises between the pages. ⁣

Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for h Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for her to make friends. She doesn’t always know what to do, what to say, or when to say it. So she decides to create her own friends out of materials and items she has around the house. These friends make her feel comfortable.⁣
⁣
But one day, Meesha is invited to a party. It is loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, so Meesha finds a quiet corner to create some other friends to play with. Soon, a boy named Josh asks if she will show him her creations. Even though Meesha is hesitant, she soon opens up and realizes how much fun it is to have a real friend. ⁣
⁣
Making friends is not always easy. It takes time, trust, and finding common ground. I love that this book showcases both the joy and struggles in making and keeping friends. This would be a great book to add to your SEL book collection or books about friendship.⁣

I Wish You Happiness is filled with words of encouragement for kids to be the best they can be. The illustrations capture each wish beautifully. I love that some of the illustrations were inspired by real people who dared to dream big. It was also fun to spot all of the different dogs in the illustrations (17 in all). You know I love gifting books and this one would make a great gift!⁣

Thank you @piccopuppy for sharing this book with my family!⁣
