Amazing Holiday & DIY classroom ornaments- Just saying!

Hey there! Again it's taking me way too long to post.  It's not because posting has not been on my mind but quite the opposite.  I have been so involved in our school's craft fair and now I'm on to obsessive over my classroom observation.  I have no idea why I thought it would be a great to schedule both within 7 days (actually withing 5 days) but apparently I am a glutton for punishment.  I guess maybe I could go for the sympathy vote??? Who knows.

Anyway- during this whole craft fair process I have become acquainted with so many cute ideas to do in the classroom.  I would LOVE to do all of these but being a travelling teacher I rarely have time for one craft a year.

The first little nugget I found is something that I am actually doing in my daughters classroom on Friday (yes can I squeeze one more thing in??)

Hand print snowman   

In an ideal world I would LOVE to do this! A variation would be to use magnets- Just something a little different.  

Bottlecap snowman

This cutie pie is made with dried glue!

Keeping this one a large photo because shortening it would not do it justice! 

snowman keys

All of these are so adorable and fairly easy to make.  I love being able to have students bring in items from home to make their craft.  It just shows them that a craft can be made from anything.  They don't have to make a special trip to the local big box store to make something cool.  

PS- As far as my awesome holiday- I HAVE to share that I have been starting to use Ebates and have been getting back $ hand over fist! Seriously.  Just got back $20. on my last shopping order.   Here is my referral link if you are interested.  Takes 10 seconds to sign up and you can shop at all your normal stores.

Very cute activity where students read sight words (pre-printed) write them, then either build them with tiles or stamps.  I've used this with my students and they LOVE it! Click on the photo to take you to the page. 

This is my most popular game! I have sold about 20 of these in the past 3 months! This is geared towards Kindergarten but can be used in first grade as a review! 

An awesome incentive program to get students to keep track of their reading.  Can be used as a reading log at home as well.  

Another crowd favorite! Use this in small groups or as a whole class literacy center.  Enough activities to keep several groups of students occupied! 

This activity has 20 days worth of sentences in a booklet form.  The sentences are basic and it is up to the student to add details to stretch them out.  You may have to do a few with them in the beginning but the students are able to handle the concept.  Great for 1st and 2nd grades.  

 

Two of my favorite games that are geared for the upper grades.   I have shared these with my daughter's teachers and they LOVE it! Click on the photo of each grade to check it all out! 

I try to do my best in pricing and I think I do price fairly.  I keep additional licences really low in the hopes that people will not just randomly share and not pay for the licence.  Please be sure to rate my product and like my store to find out the details on upcoming sales and new products!
