End of the year dry erase board for a little buddy of mine!

Its June and its busy both with school and end of the year teacher gifts.  I have two colleagues who asked me to make some things for their teacher friends or their child'd teacher so I have been working on that.  My one friend liked them so much, she asked me for one for her son!  She wants him to think about all the things he is grateful for on a daily basis while also practising his writing! This is a dry erase board that he can update whenever he wants!
I cut the words and numbers out with the circuit and stamped some CTMH stamps on the cork sticker as well as the pencil on white paper and fussy cut it out.
The paper is just random ones I had on hand.

Dry Erase - Teacher thank you gift

I am on a roll with these!  This is a frame I made for a teacher gift for a friend of mine.  I added the apple last minute and love it so much!

Book Madness

My students went wild for this!!! Finally I am getting them reading! All it takes is a little competition but what I love about this is that the competition isn't about who is reading what, its a competition for a vote.  Students need to read two books competing with each other and once they have done that, they can vote for which book they liked the best.  All votes end up counting towards which book is the most favourite in grade 6!

I got the files from Teachers Pay Teachers and I will have to find the user to remember where I got them from.  I wasn't planning on posting but when the students got all obsessed with these books, I just got excited!

Guided reading dry erase boards

I saw a post on pinterest a while back about using vinyl on guided reading tables for students to jot notes down on.  Its more environmentally friendly than using post its all the time which the students end up losing anyway!  I decided to try and use my cricut and make some cute cut outs to make it a little cuter at my guided reading table! Since I am paperless this year, students can write on the vinyl and erase it afterwords or I can take a picture and save it for assessment later! I can't wait to try it out and post some pictures of my table!

The best thing about vinyl? It comes off easily after!!!
