Board and Batten Wall

Okay so my number 1 quarantine project was this board and batten wall. I kept seeing them on Pinterest and wanted one too. The green ones had caught my eye the most. I debated on green or gray, but my room is whites/woods/gray/tan with some plants here and there so I went with green.

Picking Out a Paint Color:

I originally was going to go with a dark green from sherwin williams (I cannot for the life of me remember which one and cannot find the inspo picture, but if I do I will post). However I narrowed it down to the four listed above and was really thinking I wanted Hunt Club.

Erin at @cottonstem gave me the idea to buy the samples and actually paint to see which one I liked. With some help from the Sherwin Williams peeps, I picked Isle of Palms (left) and Basil (right). AS you can see Isle of Palms ended up looking like Hunt Club, so I'm glad the workers talked me out of Hunt Club because it probably was super dark.

I decided to go with Isle of Palms by Sherwin Williams.

Basically you just get plywood (I think LOL) and nail it to the wall and then paint. I had my friend's brother do it for me though. I have seen them with the entire wall lined with plywood like a border, but I didn't think I needed that, however I think it would make it look cleaner.

Here was the wall before. It didn't take long, maybe 4 hours.

Also here is an image of my before bedroom (and pup lol). I love the way my room looks before, but I think it is fun to have an accent wall. For more follow me on instagram @thebeachclassroom.

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...
