KABOOM and Craft Project Ideas!

Look what I came home to yesterday? Surprise!

Another goodie box from CraftProjectIdeas.com. They sent these out to us for FREE! Check it out:

Poms – will be great for craft projects and even Kristi’s POM POM Critters

Paint brushes – these will be great for our Extra Fun Thing or Fun Friday…not sure what we are calling it this year, one of our choices is water coloring.

Construction paper – what teacher can’t use construction paper?

Beads – fine motor skills practice by stringing them or craft projects

Craft sticks – teachers can never have too many of these! I just used a lot of these to make KABOOM! games with math facts - idea from the Teacher Tipster...

Pipe cleaners – WORD WORK – WOOHOO!

Magnetic buttons and magnetic adhesive roll – just love to make things magnetic to stick on my white board

Remember you can find all these ideas at Wal-Mart and they have some great ideas on the Craft Project Ideas website.

Go make a KABOOM game - super simple and the kiddos will love it! ;-)

POM POM CRITTERS

Here they are-aren't they cute?  :-)
Every year I have given each student a little stuffed animal and told them that their job was to teach their animal.  I tell them that they need to teach them rules, math, reading, etc.  I let them know that they have a big responsibility and if they aren't doing their job, I will have to take the animal and do it myself.  They love this, but I always think they take up too much room on their desks-SO this year I decided to do little pom pom critters.  They are a lot smaller and won't take up as much room on their desks.  I hope they like them!  Check them out:

Thanks so much for all the thoughts and ideas about keeping to a schedule.  I have decided that I am definitely going to need to invest in a nice timer this year to help me out!  :-)

Hope you have a great night!  Kristi
