STAR Project, Giveaways, & Blog Award

I finished another semi-crafty project.  I don’t get on Pinterest as often as I used to, which might be a good thing.  However, everytime I do someone I know has pinned a set of wooden letters spelling READ that have been covered with paint or decorative paper.  I had to do something like it.  Our class motto is going to be, “Be a Super STAR”.  STAR will be an acronym representing our classroom rules. I found the idea for what each letter could stand for over at the Second Grade Teacher’s Club.  From there, I added details about what each really means to me:

Here are the letters I made to go on the wall.  They are painted black on the front.  The sides of each letter are painted to match the coordinating star.  Once I get these up on the wall, I will hang smaller posters underneath with the matching descriptions for each letter.

I have been blogging for just under 2 months now.  I have learned so many fabulous ideas from so many of you.  Today I received this lovely surprise from Julie over at Math is Elementary:

So, here’s my attempt at 15 blogs, in no particular order.  I apologize if you’ve already received this award.  I guess it just makes you that much more deserving 🙂  Oh, and I know some of you are counting to see if I really chose 15.  I confess…I didn’t.  If you aren’t following one of these sites already, I encourage you to take a peek.
