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)

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...

Teen Numbers Lucky Charms Craft

If you're new here, I absolutely love CRAFTIVITIES! Craftivities are a craft that aligns to whatever you are doing academically. We do a math craft once a week! My kids love it and I love being able to reference back to them. We used to do the hot chocolate teen numbers and these teen number puppies (which I do still love and we could do), but hot chocolate is out for March and the teen number puppies were just counting, not showing a tens frame like my hot chocolate ones did. So I randomly thought of this while my kids went to specials and whipped it up. The cereal represents the ten and the marshmallows are the one. So now when we talk about making teen numbers and filling the tens frame I can say 'remember the tens frame gets the cereal and the other part is the marshmallows'. :) The craft comes with different ways to print it out to make it easiest for your classroom or home. When I made it with my kids I realized I needed a 'topper' and also would not print out...

Weekly Recap

Happy Valentine's Day! I used to feel like I needed something to do on Valentine's day, but now that I'm old and wise (lol) I don't care and I just want to make it fun for my kids. As you can see, I thought making slime would be fun... The kids were so excited and hype, but my desk was a disaster and it didn't go as planned lol. Last year I hired someone to come in and face paint, but obviously with Covid we couldn't do that this year. I mainly did the slime because they have been keeping their bookshelves clean and tidy without being asked and I wanted to let them know I appreciate that.  On Valentine's day we also watched a Number Jacks movie (their favorite- it also was only like 40 minutes which I like because it isn't extremely long) and really didn't do anything else that was party related because we had a intruder drill which took up a chunk of time and I told them we HAD to do math stations. However, I think the movie and slime was fine with ...
