I created this cute wreath for the library door. (I made it out of an old book. Those are rolled up strips of the pages from a book that was weeded this summer.) The only problem is now I'm afraid the kids will mess with it as they stand in line outside the library. My door is right at the main entrance and almost all the kids walk past. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll hang it inside the library. That means I can go back to Hobby Lobby for another wreath idea! I've been wanting a red one from burlap ribbon.
When I was at Hobby Lobby last weekend, I found these cute little tins on clearance. Whipped up some cute little labels and now I have new pencil boxes.
I thought I was finished with my Monday Made It's until I saw Amy's blog over at Middle School Minions. I saw her "What is Mrs. Finley Reading" sign and made one for my library. During the school year, I'm always advising/conferencing with students about their reading goals. After reading Amy's post I decided it was real important for my students to view my reading goals and accomplishments. (Thank you, Amy! LOVED your idea.)
I start back Thursday so I need to finish my book stack and the last couple projects for the library. My good friends in the county to my south are back today. As we say in the South, "Bless Their Hearts".
Head over to Tara's blog 4th Grade Frolics for more great Monday Made It's.
Keep Reading!!!
I love the "What is the teacher reading?" I think that's a great way to show kids that we enjoy reading too! And adorable wreath!

No,thank you, Amy! I was seriously in love with yours. BUT you know me, I have to have a red version.
DeleteWow. I am so bad at decorating the library. I'm very impressed. May need to make a "what I'm reading" sign,though. Or have a parent do it- I've forgotten how to run the laminator!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I happened upon your blog, and I love its design...no wonder, as Christi Fultz designed my blog as well...and it also includes a mini-me from The Library Fox! Too funny! You'll have to stop by my blog sometime to see what Christi and Crystal did for me! (...And while I was here, I signed up to follow you!)~Deb

I am just wondering about the "frames" you have around the wording on all your cute signs! That really makes it even cuter!!! Is that from a certain program? I am in the midst of making series baskets, new shelf signs etc etc. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKathryn, I used Lovin Lit's cover frames from Erin's Huge Seller's Toolkit Bundle. It was only $5. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/HUGE-Sellers-Toolkit-Bundle-Digital-Papers-Borders-Frames-and-Fonts-723052
DeleteAwesome! Thank you for that and also the answer on the baskets. I just went to a different Dollar Tree and they had them in red or blue (works fine). Mine didn't have any and so I would have stopped there! I really appreciate your help, your information, and your blog!!
