Monday Made It!

Monday, June 27, 2016

I'm happy to be a part of Monday Made It again! I love looking at everyone's creations and it inspires me to make something new!


Read to the end and receive a FREEBIE this week! :D  Happy Monday!




I went to Hobby Lobby and found this adorable bunny on sale. Usually I purchase something like this for my house - so why not for my classroom? I bought a heart shaped chalk board as well and tied it around the bunny's neck. I am going to use it first of all for Meet the Teacher Night - and after that I can erase the chalkboard and write something new! I may keep it on my desk.





Next, I decided to create some simple door hangers for when we are away from the classroom...or to say hello...or as a birthday greeting! I created them using PowerPoint, printed, laminated, then cut!



My final project was making some classroom posters. I want to share with you a really EASY way to make darling word posters by using at app called Typorama

Typorama creates complex text layouts with different fonts and typefaces. You can create the text on a transparent background or on top of a photo. When I first started using it, I used it to share photos on Instagram and FB. However, I soon realized it would be a great way to type up my classroom rules and create personalized signs! Here are some samples:




Cute and easy! LOVE IT! Give it a try. You will never make posters the same again!

I struggled over and over what to get my students as a welcome gift this year because I will have 60 STUDENTS! (2 classes of 30) I couldn't do my usual bag with goodies because it was getting too expensive. I decided to create bookmarks using the Typorama app! 

I created a bookmark using PowerPoint and printed them out on cardstock. Then I laminated for 48 hours straight (okay, not really...it just felt like it!).


I finished by punching a hole in the top and added ribbon. 



Since PowerPoint was already set up with the bookmark, I made files to share with YOU for FREE!  Click here to get your free copy in PDF or PowerPoint.
