Super Cute Cutouts!


Well, I wasn’t going to make a new door décor but then Carson Dellosa sent me some treats! There are so many cute cutouts! I have a polka dot theme in my classroom, so the confetti and the fans are perfect for that! I have seen all the cute door ideas on Instagram and decided to use my cricut maker and the cutouts! I went with the saying “You’ll always have a SPOT in my heart!” Then I’m going to add the names of my kinders to the spots and decorate the door. I like both the confetti ones and the fans – might do a combination of both. The left over ones I think I will use to label spots in the room for centers. Now, my biggest issue will be putting the background paper on the door. Anyone have any easy solutions for that? Or is it just cause I'm so clumsy and awkward? I was thinking of trying a plastic tablecloth. Not sure. Can't take stuff of of that without ripping it. I'll keep you posted! 








             There are so many ideas for the cutouts! 








The glitter ones are so cool! Who doesn’t love glitter! The stars are so shiny too!

             Here are some of my ideas for them:
·         Writing names on them for welcome bulletin boards.
·         Writing names on them for hallway/classroom displays- I think the balloons would be great for this – hot glue a clothespin on the back of the balloon, then hot glue pushpins on the back of the clothes pin. Label the balloon with the name of the student. Use the clothespin to display their work. CUTE!
·         Labeling areas in the room.
·         Labeling materials/book bins
·         Making a schedule chart for the day – use an arrow to point to each part as you go through it.
·         Use an arrow or a star to point to the CCS of the lesson.
·         Making a behavior chart for each student
·         Making a reward system chart
·         Making a learning chart of their growth – academically or physically
·         Using for graphs
·         Using for games – numbers, sight words, letters, etc.
·         Making cvc or cvce words – letter on each piece.
·         Sending home as reward notes.
·         Use as headers for word walls.
The possibilities are endless! What ideas have I missed? Let me know!


I participate in the Brand Ambassador Program for Carson-Dellosa and have received this product for free to review.

Clutter Free Classroom Assignment

The Closet Abyss!This is the closet with the language arts materials - alphabet recognition, rhyming, beginning and ending sounds, sight words, oh my! It was looking better till I bought more stuff and tried to put it in here! It is somewhat organized- rhyming stuff on one shelf, abc stuff on another, sight words on another, for the most part!This is the only large cabinet I have like this. :(   Is it any wonder why I don't use all that I have? AND when summer gets here - everything in the classroom has to be packed away - which means even more is shoved into all these closets! This is above the hooks for the kid's coats. It is organized but not pretty. These cabinets hold my literature. The bags are letter bags. I have one for each letter. The other stuff on top is stuff that doesn't fit into a cabinet. This area of my room is what I call the mud room. When you come into the classroom, this is where you come first. Then there is an opening right at the snowma...

Chapter 3

What should your math work stations, look like, sound like and feel like?   I have not done math stations this year. That is the plan for next year:) I hope they look like the ones in this book!! lol I do want to make sure that I MODEL all the materials before I put them out in the stations. I want them to be a great place for the students to work and learn and have fun. What does your management board look like? I will be making a pocket chart- I think. I will be using their pictures for the board. I want to see some more ideas from all the other great bloggers. How do you support math vocabulary (math talk cards) in your stations?   WOW - do I need to work on this. I have thought about making a word wall of sorts with math vocab. I want to add more of this and make sure that it is included in the stations. I also want to connect it with some Whole Brain Teaching concepts that use gestures for the words.  This is a great chapter! I need to sit and look at t...

It's February!!!  Oh my! It's February already! January went by fast! And we had NO snow days! A few delays and one early dismissal but no snow days! I'm glad! We have several built into the calendar and I would like those off. Then I can do what I want and have fun. I know! Snow days are fun too! But I'm hoping not to lose the make up days at Easter cause I don't want to use too many personal days! lol Well, this is always fun to link up with Farley at  http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015/01/currently-february.html LISTENING - yes, the Super Bowl is on!
