How to Dye Clothespins!
I use clothespins for everything... so this is so exciting to me!
Practicing Writing Numbers!
Im definitely doing this next year!
Academic Jenga!
I just bought Jenga so I can do this with my class for addition and subtraction!
Punctuation People!
I have these free posters in the classroom... but next year I want to make the people that go along with them!
Managing Computer Passwords!
This is just genius!
I Spy Bottles!
I have been saving water bottles for this... I am ready to make so many of these! Some with sight words, some with alphabet beads, and some with little trinkets (so the kids can sound out the trinkets they find!) I am super excited for these!
How to Dye Rice!
Its been years since Ive done this, but Im going to need to do it for the I Spy Bottles! Its nice to have a refresher!
"Galaxy" Playdough!
The kids love playdough! We used it at the beginning of the year for alphabet formation, and Im going to be bringing it back soon to practice writing our sight words! I think the kids would love to have glittery play dough... I hope it works!
Easter Egg Word Families!
The picture says it all... Why didnt I think of this before!?
Glitter Jar!
To help calm down students who are upset! Shake it up, and the student has to watch the glitter fall before they can join the group again!

My New Cat in the Hat Classroom Theme!!!
While some of you are winding down your school year, I still have two months to go... and I decided that a classroom redesign was in order. Ive come across so many cute classroom themes online (jungle, wild west, pirates), but none of them quite worked with what I already had in my classroom.
Finally, it hit me... I needed to make give a classroom a Dr. Seuss theme, and since my favorite Seuss book is Cat in the Hat, I used that as my inspiration for my room!
Update 5/14/2013: For those of you who have been asking for the set, I have redesigned to abide by all copyright laws and reposted it here. It looks different from the pictures below but its still super cute!
My first order of business was the "Word Wall" or actually, in my case, the "Word Window." The background was already the perfect shade of blue, I just needed to add Sally and Nick!
Those blue and green blurred out papers at the bottom are the poems from the book "No More Letter of the Week" and a picture of the kid that was assigned that letter back in September/October. If you havent seen the book yet, it totally revamped the way I teach phonics and it made a major difference for the kids!
I ended up doing this using my smart board! I pulled up the image of Sally and Nick onto my computer, hung bulletin board paper up on the smart board, and traced the image. Nice and easy!
Next, I needed to revamp my morning meeting resources. I use a growing number line for how many days weve been in school, so I started with that. I used my favorite font, and put red circles around the numbers you say when you count by fives, and "Cat in the Hat" hats on the numbers you say when you count by tens. And yes, I re-did the numbers for the place value chart so the font matched!
After that, I redesigned my "Morning Helper" list. Each day, one of my students teaches morning meeting. I use a list posted on the wall as a rotating schedule to keep it fair for everyone! My school has a poster machine that prints in color, so I was able to make this sign very large... to given you an idea of size, that scroll is a piece of legal paper!
Then, I re-did my months of the year sign! Even though Im not in a bilingual class, the kids love learning other languages, so I teach them the months of the year in Spanish as well! Again, this was printed on our wonderful poster machine!
Obviously, I needed to do a sign for the days of the week also.
I also made names for the days of the week that match the colors/textures of the other signs I made for the months/days.
Another main part of our morning meeting is "More and Less Math." We look at the number of days weve been in school and figure out what day it will be when we have one more, and what day it was when we had one less. We model this will the sticks from our place value chart and reference our number line in the process. The kids love it. And... now it clearly goes along with the theme!

I stick the days of the week to the wall using velcro. I also have magnetic tape on the back of the Days of the Week so that they can stick to my metal cabinet.
Heres a overview of this part of my morning meeting area:

Heres a close up of the centers groups that you see in the right hand side of that photo. I made it look like the Cat in the Hat was presenting the center groups, and I love the texture I put on the word centers!
I put that same texture on the new title I made for "Our Schedule" below.

I know, I really went overboard! And Im not even done showing you everything yet! Now that morning meeting is over... you have to check out what I did in the rest of the class!
We do a routine during independent reading where we read with a buddy. The students read for three minutes independently, then for three minutes partner one ("Thing 1") reads, and for three minutes partner two ("Thing 2") reads. I have these signs at the students seats to remind them who their partner is and give a constant visual of which partner is reading first.
Update 5/12/2012: The theme pack is up on TPT for $4 and I made a freebie to go along with it!
To view the pack on TPT, click the picture below:
To get the freebie, click the picture below! There are now two versions of this freebie thanks to Busy Bee, who left a great comment below! Thank you for pointing out how this could be confusing for students!
They may look the same, but the location of "ten less" and "ten more" is switched so it mimics the look of a 100 chart and corresponds with the Envision Math Program!
Note: This freebie is hosted on Google Docs. Once you open the file, click File > Download to save onto your computer!
If you like the freebie, be sure to head over to my 200 Follower giveaway to win the whole set! The contest is going through May 20, 2012!

My Most Memorable Moment!
There are so many fabulous linky parties out there right now! I just came across this one:
What a fabulous idea!
There are millions of moments I could choose from, but Im going to stick with one that is near and dear to my heart, and one that I actually have on video tape! I obviously cant post it, but it is ten times more amazing to hear the boys voice while he said it!
At centers, playing my sight words Uno game, one of the students who was sitting at my center group just looked up at me and said:
Student: Are you good at everything?!
Me: What!?
Student: I asked, are you good at everything?!
~~~I obviously grabbed my camera and started recording at this point!~~~
Me: What did you just ask me?
Student: Youre good at everything!
Me: Thanks! But what did you just ask me?
Student: Are you a superhero or something? Yeah, you must be a Superhero! Supergirl!
Gotta love it! I still look back at it and laugh to this day!
