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.

You're almost to 100. Congrats!

Thanks for the award, it made my day, night, evening and all in between. Hey, those accordian flowers are VERy easy to make. On a scale of one to ten, I'd say one. Get a mini stapler and it is even easier.
