I’ve been making quite a bit of progress in my classroom this past week.
I organized some books:
Put up my new Tropical WBT rules signs {snag them for free on my WBT Blog!}
Painted my cabinets white (that’s the only color that was in the janitor’s shed, and I just really couldn’t justify spending money on more paint!)
Worked on my student folders {see the freebie on Owl-Ways Be Inspired}
Prepped My Name Is class book to do the first week:
And made my READ display:
Materials needed:
- Cardboard, foam, or wooden letters that spell out “read”
- Scrapbook paper in the colors you want
- Mod Podge
- Foam brush
- Squeegee
- Sandpaper
I started out with scrapbook paper that matched my fun, tropical color scheme.
I traced my letters. Notice this is an upside down V – I couldn’t find an A at the store and thought this would work.
Here are my letters and paper cut out, ready to go.
I brushed some Mod Podge on the letter.
I placed the paper on the letter, and squeegeed out any air bubbles.
I waited for it to dry, then I used leftover sandpaper to rough up the edges of the paper and make them align with the letter perfectly.
I then brushed Mod Podge over the top of the scrapbook paper, and a little on the edges to seal it all in.
I used 3M removable tape stuff to attach the letters to the cinder block wall in my classroom. I love it!
I’m linking up with 4th Grade Frolic’s Monday Made-It!
Make sure to stop by tomorrow, I’m joining in with some of my favorite Hawaiian bloggers for a fun blog hop!
