Monday Made It!

So I'm still a teacher without a grade, but that's not going to stop me from making things for my classroom!  I'm linking up again with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for

This week I made Power Towers.  I had never heard of these until I began blog stalking and can't wait to use them in my classroom!  I made 2 reading (with 1st and 2nd grade sight words) and 1 math (with basic addition facts).  I figure that I can always change the cups depending on the grade level, but I know I want to use them!  Here's a link to the Teacher Tipster's YouTube video on Power Towers.  I got the labels for the cans from Mrs. Gilchrist's Class.  I used the smaller Pringles can for the reading ones and still need to buy a larger can for the math facts.

The next things I made were Boggle letters and Math It Up numbers.  Now I didn't make the letters or numbers.  I downloaded them from Teacher on the Loose.  Since I am gradeless, I don't know if I'll have to move classrooms, so I don't know if I'm going to put them on a bulletin board or use the oil pan idea that's floating around Pinterest.  Despite that, I have all the letters cut out and laminated.  I have extra Dollar Tree containers in my room so I plan to put them in there.

A couple weeks ago, I was reading a post on A Cupcake for the Teacher on Voices charts.  I instantly fell in love with the idea, so I decided to make one in my sports theme:

Lastly, I made the picture directions cards.  I hate answering (multiple times!) "Can we use markers, glue bottles, etc?"  Having these up should cut that down............at least a little bit!

Now I'm off to blog hop and add more things to my to do list!
