Monday Made It 7/15/2013

Well, I have made it to my second Monday Made It!  Exciting!! :)  I have 5 followers, doesn't sound like a lot, but makes me super happy to have 5 after the first week! :)  I would love to get some more!  So, follow me on blog lovin' and leave a comment saying that you follow me and the name you follow me under.  When I reach 20 followers I will have a giveaway, a $10 TPT gift certificate!  :)

Now on to MMI.  As I have stated before I LOVE Tara's blog, Fourth Grade Frolics.  I have stalked her blog for over a year now.  She is one of my inspirations for starting my own.  Hop over to Tara's blog to check out all the other MMIs, it amazes me every week how many there are!  Link your own MMI up too!  It is super fun AND SUPER EASY!


My first MMI this week is my "Objective Wall".  I quickly threw this together while the hubs was finishing up the last wall of my room Thurday night.  Seriously, I have to give props and thanks to my hubs for all his unpaid, hard work he has put into my room.  I am going to buy another color of trimmer to go around this as well, either dark gray or the bright blue that is on my posters.  (I added my 8th grade heading after takig this pic)  I love it! 


I have all my ELA common core standards made into I CAN statements with cute frames ready to be cut, laminated and cut again.  I am going to try to get those finished this week, hope to!  The I can statements are available in my TPT (also new) store HERE.  The 8th grade I CAN statements are a freebie, so go grab that up if you teach 5th grade.  I still need to get my social studies standards completed, but I am taking a break. ;)  I want to get all the standards finished for all subjects and have them available, but I just don't know if I can find the time for that before school starts.

My second MMI is my curtains.  My mother-in-law and I whipped these out in a couple hours on Thursday.  I LOVE THEM!  I ordered the fabric from Hobby Lobby, 40% off, 4 cent shipping WOOT!!
 
As you can see have stuff EVERYWHERE...and my kids have a lot of stuff everywhere too.  We have been spending A LOT of time in my room and the kids have been with us too...

Curse the window unit ;)



And finally, the grand finale, MMI #3--my room is finally FINISHED BEING PAINTED!! :)  SO HAPPY and SO in LOVE!!

 
The hubs is going to paint my shelves and the two doors, but they won't be finished for a couple of weeks, are schedules are packed the next two weeks.  I LOVE my chevron SOOOOO much!!


I hope you enjoyed my MMIs this week and please follow me on Blog Lovin', there is a button on the side bar --------->  !!  My stepson has to get his sports physical today and we are going floating on the river!  I LOVE living 5 miles from the river, but I am sad to say this is the first time we are getting to the river this summer!!  Hope to change that the next two weeks!!  I can't wait to come back and check out everyone else's MMIs!

  1. I'm following you! LOVE chevron- I'm obsessed right now!!! I've created a bunch of stuff in the last few weeks with a chevron patterns and now I'm looking to bring chevron into my home!

    I wish I could paint chevron in my classroom...I doubt it'd be ok though...are you already back??!! I don't have to be back until mid- August I think.

  2. I love how you are really able to personalize your room with curtains AND paint the walls!! Simple curtains or too much paper on the wall is considered a fire hazard here :( I still put paper on the wall until they tell me to take it down lol. Also liking you objective wall. I'm still deciding how I want to post my CCSS standards in my room :) Also, thanks for stopping by my blog too!! ~Cara Lee
