September Style {Monday Made It}

Whoa it is Monday...the weekend went fast! Today was a crazy day filled with lots of kiddos (a teacher had to leave unexpectedly so the other teachers absorbed her kids) but also full of fun because I threw those lesson plans out the window. Only for today...I wish I could for the week lol. We read a funny Curious George book, practiced Daily 5, did math centers, wrote about our weekend, explore and observed nature in science. 

Here is what I have been making so far for the month of September: 

1. Take home bags:

I decorate these bags with paint pens. As you can see I have a birthday bag, student of the week bag, and estimation bag. The kids love taking home these bags! The bags are fun but encourage reading, writing, estimating, individualism, and creativity!

2. Who knows their facts? An addition game!

I just added this to my TPT store last night.

You can use this product as an assessment for addition fact fluency, in small groups to learn facts fast, or in math centers. I use this product as practice for learning math facts fast with a sand timer. The student write down their answers on whiteboards or say them aloud. This would be a great tool to use for student who struggle seeing the pattern in addition and need extra support. If you laminate the cards students can write and wipe answers. 

Hope you have a lovely evening!

Halloween Decor {Pinterest Inspired}

I love Halloween! AlthoughI can't have a full out party at school for Halloween we are putting some fall decor and having fall/pumpkin centers. I have a Halloween party every year on my block. They close down the street and all the neighborhood kids come out for a costume contest, pumpkin seed estimation, dancing, and trick-or-treater. I'm doing some super cute things at home that are Pinterest Inspired that I wanted to share with you all! Maybe you could use some of these ideas at home or in the classroom!

Love this little sign! I'm putting this on my front door.

This is such a great idea! I will be having this "pumpkin juice" at my Halloween party. You could put sort of canned or bottled beverage in the pumpkin.

These pumpkin faces just give me a smile and I'm going to be making some sort of pumpkin face/jack-o-lantern in class next week! 

These are super easy pipe cleaner tootsie pops! I'll be making these for my kiddos for Halloween! 

This could really be done for any fall party but it's especially cute for Halloween festivities! 

This site has a ton of free printables to make any party fun without being too spooky. 

This bucket is adorable to serve Trick-or-Treaters candy in or to put your Halloween books in your classroom. I love to spotlight themed books!



How cute and easy are these mummy jars?! I will be lining my sidewalk with these!

Mummies in a blanket! I love easy, fun food!

Make spider ice cubes for your drinks!

I think this is a hilariously funny way to serve guacamole.

 

I will be making these pumpkin cupcakes and some other cupcakes with orange and black sprinkles. 

This melon brain is amazing! Not sure how you really eat it but it looks cool.
