Say CHEESE! I just finished my frame for our first day pics-what do ya think? I saw this super cute idea on Pinterest {of course} and fell in love with it! It was really pretty easy...I just used a piece of foam board, cut out the middle and attached 2 different bulletin board borders to it. I printed the "first day" & "first grade" pencils on card stock. Then I attached them & a cute zebra bow - TaDa! Less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Now that's what I'm talkin' bout!!! I wish I could make progress like that in my classroom. It's getting there s-l-o-w-l-y...I'm almost ready to share some pics of my reading center makeover. By the way, my kiddos were trying to take this pic of me and, well...let me just say...after about 20 bazillion tries, we finally decided this was the best {except with the glare from the window its kinda hard to read the words on the pencils} Can you tell that I was giving picture-taking directions when this pic was snapped?!? :)
This summer, my friend & 1st grade teamie Danielle went to a Whole Brain Teaching workshop. I used a few of the callbacks last year & they worked wonders with my firsties. So I gonna try incorporating a few more WBT ideas this year. If you've never attended a workshop, check out this 1st grade classroom!
I've had a few requests for WBT posters & decided to create a set to match my Bright Dots stuff.
I've included 5 callback posters & a reproducible scoreboard page. If you would like a FREEBIE copy, just click the pic & download it from my TpT shop!
Your frame is ADORABLE and this WBT set will match perfectly with my "good listener" pack I already downloaded from you : ) Thanks so much !

ReplyDeleteWe used to have our students write their name on a lil frame and hold it up in front of them, but this is just too precious! We will have to add it to our Make-It Monday list. We are starting a new list called "Almost Made-It in August" because we can't seem to finish all these super cute projects we've started! Teehee :) Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

As a stay at home mom of three, with my oldest having just turned 3, and being an avid believer in every moment is a chance to teach your children... Light-bulb while watching the classroom video for a few new techniques to try... I think more parents not just teachers who get paid but those who are the childs first teachers, their parents, should be directed towards learning new ways of thinking about learning and the way children learn, and most importantly the most effective ways of helping and encouraging your children to their full potential. http://pinterest.com/dannideeleigh/
ReplyDeleteThat was an amazing job you did converting those frames to ordinary to extraordinary. You definitely know what you are doing. Great pictures--they definitely show your expertise. Thanks for sharing
