Monday Made It

Today  I'm Linking Up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It! 

I invited some girls from church over to make some crafts.  We had a little mommy daughter time while the boys watched some movies.  Here's what we did for the 4th...

  

This was a super easy project and came out SO CUTE!  The girls were all smiles while they were working.  They kept saying we need to do this every week!  

So here's what we did...

I went to Home Depot and asked to have 2x4 and 2x2 lumber cut into 4",5", and 6" pieces. They were super nice in helping me out.  I then brought the pieces home and sanded them down.  We prepped the vinyl words ahead of time using the Silhouette {I'm OBSESSED!}  The girls then traced the wood on the scrapbook paper and cut.  Some of the girls even cut paper for the top, sides, and back to give it a "wrapped" look.  We then used spray adhesive to attach the paper to the wood and sanded the edges to make it appear worn.  We let them dry while we snacked and chatted and then added the vinyl words.  You just place the words where you want them and then rub them.  We used popsicle sticks which worked out perfectly.  We were going to spray or brush on Mod Podge, but when I tried it, my paper was starting to come off and bubble, so we just decided to leave them as is.  Now all we need to do is  add a little ribbon and find a cute place on the mantle to show it off.

And, in case you missed my post yesterday,  here it is {and there's BIG NEWS}...

Door Decorating Contest

My class is decorating our classroom door.  Every year at our school, we have a door decorating contest.  The students love being a part of the planning and execution of it.  Here are some before pics.  The kiddos are hard at work, and as you can see, making a huge mess.  They were listening to music as they worked and watching short Pixar movies.  One of my students today said, "Ms. Cloud, we should make a Naughty or Nice poster."  So that's what I did.  

Here's a pic of the Naughty or Nice Board.  Please feel free to use this idea in your own classrooms.  I'm sure there are ideas that are similar floating around on Pinterest.  Again, I can't take credit for this... it was one of my amazing students! 

Here's the mess on my desk as we were working.  I always justify it by saying, "it means are working hard."  Here are just a few of my purchases...the rest are in my car. It was a cool 20*F this morning, so one trip to the classroom was sufficient for me! Frozen toes and nose while I was on duty today! I'd rather be in Arizona for sure when it's this cold here! 

  

Here are some of my kiddos hard at work.  They came up with the cutest ideas and are way more creative than I ever could be.  

Our theme is gingerbread houses, candy, candy, and more candy!  The class decided to make a gingerbread family.  Each group decided on a family member and got to work. We have a mom, dad, brother, sister, baby, and one group wanted to make a gingerbread dog...a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! 

Check back with us tomorrow. I'll have the final pictures posted along with some pictures of other doors in our school.  We still need to work on the houses {including a dog house}, ornaments, and snowflakes.  Wish us luck on the contest!

I'm doing this after school.  Hopefully it lasts through the night. 

And here's a link to my Pinterest Door Decor Board. Please link up and share pictures of your own classroom doors or favorites from Pinterest.  I love seeing all that's out there! 

Love ya'll!
