Monday Made It {August 12th}

Tomorrow is my last day of vacation.  I return to school officially on Tuesday! But, guess where I will probably spend Monday?

Now to my Made Its this week.

I've been crafting away trying to catch up on some projects that have been sitting around. First up, I finally made Brain Breaks from Stephanie @ 3rd Grade Thoughts.  I used them last year, but finally took the time to make them look as pretty as they deserve to be.  I used Expressions Tape on craft sticks!  Easy!

Would you like the label for the jar?  Head {here} to download for free! I encourage you to check out Stephanie's Brain Breaks {here} because they are awesome! How often (especially at the beginning of the year) do we need to take a quick little break?

Next, I am in the process of completing my Super Improver Wall for my three classes! This is not a clip chart.  It is a chart where students move up the "ladder" when they earn a certain number of fuzzies.  (Read more about fuzzies here and here.)  I'm hoping the visual will be a great reminder to students.  The Super Improver Wall is another Whole Brain strategy that I am going to try this year.  Read more about WBT {here}.

Finally, I made some numbers for my paper "turn in" pocket chart.  Here's the pocket chart from last year:

And here are my new numbers inspired by Tara, of course!  

I am using Tara's numbers for 3 other areas of the room, so I wanted something different for the pocket chart.  I printed the numbers on a magnet sheet.  Have you used these?  I love them!

Would you like free copy of these numbers?  Head to my Facebook page.  It's the freebie download for all of my fans this week :)
Head on over to 4th Grade Frolics and link on up with Tara!
