What a busy summer! I did a semi-upgrade of the site and added a page of my photography. Let me know what you think! Here's what else I've been working on for my ocean/beach themed classroom:
This bridal planner from Michael's is going to make a perfect sub binder.
It was missing some pieces and a little beat up, so I got a nice percent off the sale price!
You can't see it, but the little notebook on the left says, "My Wedding Contacts" but I'll just change that. The inside is perfect for letting them know what teachers to go to for help!
It was missing a post-it pad and tabs. I found these for $.99 at a dollar store.
This is the view when it was open, before I fixed it.

I got this bookshelf at Goodwill for $4.50 so I would have a place for my chapter books. They take up sooo much room in baskets and this was the perfect size but I didn't like the wood grain.
After a little black spray paint....
Just a few books for now!
Stickers from Dollar Tree match perfectly with...
these planters I made from Michael's! (They say Relax, Paradise, and Beach - just a bad pic)
Gonna frame these!
I found these ice cream cones at Amazing Savings. Right now they have bubbles in them but I'm sure I can come up with some sort of game to use them for. Dice and Bingo chips can fit inside.
A library book bin and guided reading table basket from Amazing Savings with my new palm stapler from Staples ($5!)...gotta figure out how to get the bottle opener off!
My new rolling cart from Michael's (with a few to-be-made projects)
Top it all off with a coconut cup from the dollar store for my desk (I'll probably put a pen in the straw hole and erasers inside)
...and I'm almost set with my ocean / beach theme!
School doesn't start until September 6, so I'll post classroom pics later!
