~Reading Chairs

Here is a project I have wanted to do for so long.  I purchased the board I needed from Menard's for maybe $4.  I had my dad cut it for me and I got 3 boards out of the 1 big one.  Then I luckily found batting at a garage sale this summer for 50 cents.  Lucky day, unfortunately I ran out and had to make a run to JoAnn's fabric anyway.

 I added the batting to the board.  I recommend a lot of batting, because the seats will go flat very quickly if there isn't enough in the top part.  Then I put the fabric on top.  Pulled it tight and used a staple gun and stapled around the outside on the back.  

My finished project!  Super easy to make.  My students love them!

Valentine's Day 2014

Better late than never!  I've been soooo busy in my new school, new house, and with my new husband.  Sigh.  If only there were 60 hours in a day I would have enough time to get everything done, and then maybe not.  Wishful thinking I know.  Valentine's Day was super fun, we gave out our Valentine's, went skating, and had pizza.  Crazy. Busy. Day.  For Valentine's Day I decided to make my own Koolaide Valentine's with a little inspiration from Pinterest.  This is my finished project! :)

 I also chose to have my 2nd graders make their own Valentine Boxes in school so that parents wouldn't have to worry about making a box and sending it.  We chose to make Valentine Monsters! They turned out great!

Our Monster Boxes got very full!

Halloween

Halloween is always so much fun with scary art projects.  This project is from {A Cupcake for the Teacher}.  She always has such fun art/writing projects.  

I LOVE decorating my door for the different seasons and themes.  If only it wasn't sooooooooooo time consuming.  This is probably one of my favorites.
