Monday Made-It (7.20.15)

July 20, 2015

Happy Monday!  I’m back with a few more things to share with you this week.
My first project was making a few changes to my TpT storefront.  This is something I’ve had on my to-do list, but I’ve been putting it off for months.  The first thing I did was add some graphics to the text box by my profile thanks to this tutorial from Mrs. Fultz’s Corner:
The second change was a bit more subtle, but still adds a little character to the custom categories.  I used this tutorial from Glitter Meets Glue Designs:
My second project this week is something new for me.  I’ve been delving into the Cam Jansen series and I wanted to create something my students could use with ANY book in the series.  At first I came up with a simple flip book, and then I took it one step further and decided my students could get a little creative, too!  There’s a camera craft included in the pack and the camera can be used as a reading response booklet.
You can learn more about this pack by clicking on the picture below:
Well, that’s all I’ve been working on this week.  Check out the link over at 4th Grade Frolics:

    Your store font looks great. I used Christi's tutorial–it was great, but I think I need to update it again.
    Now I gotta check out GMG's listing tutorial. Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea you could do that. My first reaction was "look at those arrows!"

    Thanks

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner. Later that night, the little girl makes a wish on her snow globe. The next morning the family wakes up to a winter wonderland outside. ⁣

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

Whether you’re shopping for the holidays, a birthday, or celebrating a milestone, books make great gifts. If you still need convincing (or justifying your recent book purchases 😉), I recently shared 10 reasons why books make the best gifts on my blog. Follow the link in my bio.

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣
⁣
Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
