First let me say that pinterest is addictive so be careful!:) Anywho I was pinning away this morning and ran across this classroom clock project which I've been eye balling at Lakeshore made out of post its or scrapbook paper. I didn't have any scrapbook paper so post its it was which by the way I have a ton of because Staples has them for $1.00 with a limit of 2 until today or tomorrow and Walmart and Target price matching their add! Ok back to the project here is the project on pinterest and mine which is unfinished because I want to laminate them all together before I cut them out.
After I finished what I could with that one I decided to start on my story wands and my trusty o printer was out of ink! No worries I had all of these Post its, a sharpie and popsicle sticks.
Here are some pictures of my Story Wands which will be used during Reader's Workshop. I do plan to laminate them so they will last all year.
Can't wait to see what you guys are doing!
Those are SO cute! I will have to look into making some! I've been afraid to get on Pinterest. I'm already on the computer too much as it is. :)

So cute! I love the clock idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat clever and original ideas! I guess I never thought about using Post-Its with the wands. I teach fourth grade social studies, and I 'm thinking I could so something similar with nonfiction text structures. Thanks for sharing!

Hi there! I'm a new follower! I found you on the linky party. I did something similar with my clock, but I found tiny bright colored star die cuts - wrote the number on them - then taped them directly on my clock. It turned out super cute. I don't have pics, but when I get in my classroom in a few weeks - I'll post one! Come by and say hi!

I love this idea, but, er...you do laminate them BEFORE you put them on the sticks, right? Or is there some ju-ju magic way of laminating something hard like popsicle sticks??
ReplyDeleteThought about that and I took them off the sticks and laminated them and cut them away from the adhesive and slid the stick thru. No ju-ju magic way of laminating a stick that would be easier though:)
