Monday Made It

Monday Made It


Happy Monday!  I am linking up with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics for her Monday Made It!

I will admit that this project is not what I had on the plans for today, but I was in Hobby Lobby this past Saturday and found this beauty in the clearance isle. 


I have always wanted to put one of these on my classroom craft to-do list, but I have never gotten around to it!

My kids always sometimes forget to put their names on their papers(even with the help of our STOP! Highlighter sign). Most of the time, I can decipher whose paper it is by their handwriting but occasionally one or two papers have to get placed on my white board to help find the owner. Please, please, please tell me that I am not the only teacher out there who has no name papers even with all of the visual and verbal reminders!!

I also have some lovely friends of mine who occasionally  rush through their assignments the first time. I have to hand it back to them to redo because I KNOW they can do better. 

So, enter in Pinterest project for today! It was really simple to throw together. I already had the clothes pins. I just spray painted them black and then hot glued them on the board. 



I love it, and the best part is that the cute design was already done for me! Thank you Hobby Lobby! 

What are some crafts that you have completed or want to complete this summer?

        Thank you! I almost felt guilty for finding something where the artwork was already done for me!

      I love Hobby Lobby! My hubby works for one and I sent him with a huge list of stuff to bring home today…haha! 🙂 I love that sign…how cute!

      So very clever! I think I saw this sign at Hobby Lobby when I was there on Saturday. I love the idea of adding the clothes pins. Many of my 4th graders STILL struggle with putting their name on their papers. Ughhh….

        Oh dear! I was hoping they would grow out of the no name phase! 🙂

      I think I'm going to have to hunt down the nearest Hobby Lobby! (I don't have one in my town, can you imagine??) Very cute idea….I agree that we all need a do-over now and then and this would help with those NO namers! Thanks for sharing! Heather @ Learning with Mrs. Langley

      I might have to brave Hobby Lobby and find one of those f or my class. Great idea, and it counts as a "made-it.":)

        Thanks for stopping by! I always have to brace myself before I was into HL. It can be so overwhelming!

        Megan,

        I have to agree! I stopped by Target on my way home today from a Common Core Math training. And, the dollar section drew me in….again! 🙂

        Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it!

      Hi Sarah! That is so cute! I am hoping to paint some planets on my classroom walls this summer – it's on a huge list of stuff to do now that I have time! I'm your newest follower:)

      Hi Sarah! I made a "No Name" board last summer for my class but I have never seen a "Do Over" board. What an awesome idea! I will have to add that to my super long to do list this summer. Thanks for sharing!

      My no name clothes pins kept coming off how did you keep them from coming off? I tried hot glue, super glue, rubber cement 🙁
