My days consist of planning and prepping, and my nights are a time when my mind keeps on thinking of exciting ideas. Even eating has become a time when I am getting ready for school! <br />
<br />
One of the first things I do to get ready for school is getting my binders ready. Now, most teachers keep the same binders from year to year, but I have an obsession with getting some new ones! What teacher doesn't love to walk down the Target School aisles and pick up some new binders!?<br />
<br />
This year, I wanted to go with bright binders, so I made new binder covers that were black and white. This will go great with my classroom {matching is a must for me}!<br />

I wanted to make <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Binder-Covers-2007634" target="_blank"><u>this product editable</u></a> for everyone to add their own pages--very helpful I would say! Also, the product includes binder spines, section dividers and section tabs! Take a peek!<br />

Above are a few pictures of the 'Parents Table'. Here they signed up to volunteer and fill out transportation information. Also, the class wish list items were here.

This is a great unit that gets your learners' creative writing flowing! One of the most important parts of learning poetry is understanding figurative language, so this unit truly focuses on how language in poetry is used. Another way that the unit helps learners with thinking creatively is using a fun doodle warm up activity.</div>

A great way to discuss a way for children to find a calming space is to read <u>A Quiet Place</u>. It is a great story that allows kids to see that simple places in their lives can be used to relax and get away from loud and unpleasant things. We then went on to create our own Quiet Place book for the kids to read in our quiet 'One Spot'.<br />

Have them start by creating quilted border pages. You can use any size page you like, but I cut construction paper in half. Provide strips of paper for the kids to cut into squares/rectangles and glue along the edge.<br />

So, I first went for a hunt for outdoor cushions at different stores, but found that cushions were not the right size, color, or were just plain too expensive! In comes my DIY alter ego shouting, "Just cover your cushions!" Of course, I headed off to Joann's, found the outdoor fabric and now I was surrounded by fun, colorful fabrics to use. <br />
<br />
This is how it all came together:<br />

This is our quaint patio. It is nothing overly special at the moment, so it is time for some DIY projects to make it look like new! Over the next couple weeks this space will be transformed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I looked everywhere for great planters that added color and height, but either the planters were too expensive or too (for the lack of a better word) 'funky'. Then came my DIY planter project, and I made these wonderful planters in a few hours:</div>

Buy two large and four medium plastic planters. I got these at Home Depot for less than $20.<br />

Take the two large and two of the four medium and spray paint those babies (I had two small pots for another project). Don't worry about the top section of the pots, we will be painting those later.</div>

Grab your paint brush and paint the tops of the pots. Use the natural line of the pots to guide you. Also, paint the inside top part.</div>

Now stack the pots by placing one unpainted medium pot upside down inside the large pot and then setting the other medium pot on top of it. I put some glue around the edge of the upside down pot to keep it level. Add dirt, flowers, and decorative rock or bark. (I used a hosta on top and marigolds and snapdragons on bottom.)<br />

Cut the stalks off the celery and you create a beautiful flower stamp. Fold white construction paper into a card and get some paint (I chose red to look like roses).</div>

I had the kids paint the celery because it created an even layer to stamp.<br />

This is an easy way to introduce kids to mosaic art. Cut strips of construction paper and have the kids cut squares and glue it to a large sheet of paper.<br />
