Monday Made It 8/25
I am linking up a gain for Monday Made It. As you read this I will be working my way through a full day of PD planned by our district improvement team, which I am part of. Yes, back to school is in full swing.
I know this is a re-made it from last week, but I am so super excited about my first connection with a company for a giveaway.
One day left to enter:
I posted about the way I do vocabulary in AP Psychology. Read the post HERE. After writing that post, I decided to make my plastic vocab container a little cuter.
This is what it looked like when I started.
I sprayed the top with the rustoleum that matches my desk.
I measured and cut the contact paper. I then lined it up on the bottom and rolled it onto the container.

I then used my trusty exacto knife to trim the top.
Pretty awesome!
It looks so fabulous on my desk with all the awesome other desk items I got to match my color scheme.
I made some table numbers for my classroom. I am excited to see how long they last and how much I use them.
You can pick up your own set at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.
I also printed some cute labels for my classroom. I got these frames for free HERE.
I laminated them today when I went into school. Twitch wanted to help me cut them out.
I am taking them with me tomorrow to hopefully get them on tables and bins.
I made a big mess in my classroom yesterday. I believe in the "It must get worse before it gets better" philosophy. I gutted my closet and book shelves. This was what it looked like about halfway through.
I actually had a fair amount a room to spare when I was done.
I found this whole pile of PD binders and notebooks. I be there are some really great ideas in here. I have set these aside to go through at my leisure...like I'll have any of that until Thanksgiving.
I have a few projects to finish on my list.
I have no idea what they clean our white boards with over the summer, but they never erase right the first time I use them. Once I clean them with real white board cleaner, they are fine.
