May 3 Tiered Tray and Cart

If you're new here...I LOVE home decor. I found this tray at hobby lobby around Christmas time. I decorate it every month or season depending. For example, I did Christmas (December), Winter (January), Valentine's Day (Feb- and also target has so many cute and cheap things to stick in the tray so it was easy), and then I skipped straight to carrots for March/April (and May...LOL). Hey, were in quarantine so I enjoyed that carrot decor as long as I could (click here to see it).

So anyways...when Hobby Lobby finally opened again I couldn't wait to do my tray and cart. However, I couldn't find anything I LOVED. I saw the ice cream cone plant picture (below) and wanted to work off of that. It ended up turning into a 'strawberry ice cream' theme. I'm not in love with it, but it's growing on me ;). I really wanted to do something with plants, but also spring/summer so I guess it works!

Now for what I put in the tray:
  • little square/circle magnets are hobby lobby, perfect fillers
  • the greenery is hobby lobby and I used it for my carrot tray (you can easily reuse greenery for different trays)
  • flowers- I plucked those off some random dollar store flowers I had in my office
  • pearls- again hobby lobby, but I actually bought these on clearance at Christmas time, I think they are for tree decorating
  • mug- rae dunn, I got it off facebook market place for my valentine's tray and it worked perfectly for my strawberry ice cream tray! (I always stick a mug in my tray for dimension)
  • strawberries- hobby lobby in the artificial fruit/fairy garden area




Here is my bar cart. I got this at Big Lots a couple of years ago. I LOVE it because I hate having a junk drawer. I store miscellaneous stuff in the box with the lid (because I hate clutter LOL). The middle two boxes are for important papers and office supplies. 

Now for the decor:
  • ice cream cone "enjoy the little things" picture- hobby lobby (main decor object)
  • pink vase JoAnn fabrics
  • pink mug (from my little student, Cam Cat), I always put a mug on here or two ;)
  • the other mug is rae dunn- TJ Maxx, I stuck a succulent in it that I got from Home Deopt
  • the big gather around sign is from hobby lobby
  • the little plant sign is from JoAnn Fabrics
  • picture frames always stay (my niece and her pup, my grandpas, and Sulley)

End of the Year Gifts/Prep

I was so sad to see the end of the year come. I feel like I needed more time with them! I did my normal bag of stuff: memory book, year of crafts, award, and a key chain! These are the bags I use. You can get them on Amazon, but make sure you get the size that is at least 9x12. I've made the mistake of getting the smaller ones before lol. This is the memory book I use. I've changed it over the years, but I just simplified it down. You can edit it in Canva, google slides, or PP! You could also use this, but it's more for one student. I used it as a moving away book, but if you started this early, you could make a book for each student. I did the key chains again.  I do not suggest doing a whole class picture because it's so small. The selfie works so much better! Click here for the tag and click here for the key chain photo frames . Every year I hold onto the crafts. I usually just stack them and then we spend some time at the end of the year passing them out. This year...

SUBTRACTION WINTER CRAFT

If you've been around for awhile you know that I LOVE craftivities. I think they are so much more fun than just the regular day to day lessons and even more than random stations. I typically tend to hate station games and cut out cards because they get lost and what not. #iykyk Over winter break I was trying to prep to come back and I knew I wanted to start doing a math craft every Friday. I am a creature of habit and routine, so I want to start doing Monday-Thursday stations and Friday craftivities. I saw a few subtraction craftivities on pinterest, but they weren't really sparking my interest. I wanted something different than something being eaten and it needed to be winter themed. So penguins on and off an iceberg just popped into my head.   I decided to first let my kids color the penguins. I also made them number the back because I knew they would be all over the ground and no one would know which are theirs. So we did that, but it took longer than expected so I collected...
