Here are a few things that have kept me away from blogging!
I changed one of my bulletin board and made it a bucket filling board. I have a class bucket and some compliment starters. We will read out of the bucket each Friday! I'm worried that some students won't have something about them, so I'm going to fill out one for each student!
I also put a reminder sign on our door!
I just love the font I found to make the signs, it's matches the Bucket TM sign! The i's are dotted with hearts :-)
Here are links to download the word signs and the TM'd Bucket, I got the image on line and just made it bigger!
I finally got my art wall started. I am working at an arts magnet school, so I wanted to create a space to exhibit student art work. It was really hard for me to veer away from my bright greens and blues, but I wanted to have more neutral colors so that the focus was on the student's art work and not the sign. I have a few projects with no names that will need to be claimed tomorrow before Back-to-School Night!
These apples came out so cute! They are pointilism apples inspired by the work of Georges Seurat. We studies a bit about Seurat and looked at some large prints of his work. The students used Q-tips and water colors to create a pointilism apple. They LOVED this project!!! I wish I could take credit for it, but another 2nd grade teacher on my team got me started with it. Thank you Catherine! Below is a closer look at one of the apples.
I used black card stock and glued small clothes pins on it to hang their art work on. I printed their names on small mailing labels to show who the pieces belong to. I stole that idea from the third grade hall!!!
I also got all of my owls hung up under my sign that reads "Mrs. Zuniga's Wise Owls." I got the sweet little polka dot owls from Schoolgirl Style. I absolutely LOVE her stuff! That is where I got the polka dot lanterns that I made my owls out of - can't remember if a credited her on that one (if not, I should have!) I haven't figured out how to add text onto the owls - I think I need to upgrade my Adobe- so I printed student names on small mailing labels and put them on each owl. This is a terrible picture... I will take another one tomorrow!
If I had been anywhere close to functioning well on Monday, I would have posted this on Made it Monday (I did make it Monday!) This was just a quick project I did so that I had a place to hang the hall pass clips we are all using at our school this year. I used a cookie sheet from the dollar store, left over stickers from my attendance board, and glued ribbon to the back (it's a very light cookie sheet) to attach it to the wall. I put an owl cut out to hide the old call button on the wall!

I have more super fun art projects to share. I'm still finishing some up and hope to have them ready to hang for Back-to-School night tomorrow! One of these days I may go to sleep before midnight... I'm just not sure when!!!
Hi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI would love to make these magnets for my classroom, yet the link on the "how to" takes me to an owl cutouts page. Is it possible you for you to once again post the link on how to made the magnets? Thank you!
