Best idea ever...

As I'm digging through my desk to find paper clips I come across bobby pins I have in my desk for my hair or the girls in my class in case of emergency. It dawns on me that these will make the BEST spinners! We used them today in class and they turned out way better than paper clips ever have for me! 

I would definitely reccomend using them as a cheap alternative that you don't have to bend! Happy spinning!

Glow stick bracelets

I made these for my new firsties this year! I can't wait for my new little ones :)

Crate seats

Okay, it's only been a year since I've had these bad boys :) Finally time to blog...Basically all you need is plywood cut. I went to  Lowe's with my crate, and they cut it for me. I SHOULD have gotten bigger plywood, so if you go, make sure you are o.k. with the thickness of the plywood.  I cut the padding to fit and sprayed the wood with adhesive. Honestly, you probably don't even need the adhesive. Then I wrapped it and stapled with the fabric. I also stapled some ribbon to make a handle.

Weather reports

My kiddos worked in groups to get these reports done. They did it all on their own including the research :)

My teacher for president
