Monday Made It - More Gray Chevron Projects, and SchoolTown University!

It's Monday, and time for more Monday Made It Projects!
Thanks to Tara at Fourth Grade Frolics for hosting this linky. 
I've certainly been inspired by the many creative people out there.
 
First,
I got an e-mail from Shutterfly about a deal in which you could get 10 cards free if you paid the shipping.
I used a photo from a recent vacation to Door County to make the cards, and they were delivered in a little over a week.
If they offer the deal again, I thought I'd use a school related pic to make some cards to have handy in my classroom.
 
If you follow my blog, you know that I purchased a gray/pink chevron desk pad from Target about two weeks ago.
I'm still creating off that color scheme, and put together these items this week:
I coverd the letters with scrapbook paper I found at Hobby Lobby.  It's hard to see but the pinkish scrapbook paper is a paisley print. Both the letters and the paper were on sale, and I paid about $8 for that project.
The frame was in the clearance section at Michaels for $3, and I attached some small flower stickers to the frame after applying the scrapbook paper.  I used a 25% off coupon at Michaels for the entire purchase.
 
 
I am excited about a product I recently added to my TpT and TN stores.
It is my SchoolTown University Classroom Decor and Management Pack

Saturday Snapshots - Author Skype and More

Happy Saturday
I'm again joining Miss Nelson for Saturday Snapshots

 
Last Sunday I joined family members for our annual visit to the Taste of Chicago.
 
On Thursday my book club group was lucky enough to Skype with the author of the book we had selected for this month.
Leigh Newman is the author of Still Points North, and she promptly responded to the e-mail I sent through her website asking her to Skype with us.
She was in NYC and chatted with us for about 35 minutes.
I can't wait to tell my students about it!
 
We've had very hot weather this week (much like the rest of the country), and I had to sub on Friday in a Summer School class of first graders.
Our elementary schools DO NOT have air conditioning.
This was about all the little ones had the energy to do:
 
I'm working on something for my Monday Made It with these:
 
I've added a new item to my TpT and TN stores!
The monster craze is everywhere, and when I've been teaching summer school, I've often heard the kiddos talk of the summer movie that was the inspiration for this pack.
I've included lots of unique and useful items like these:
Question of the  Day chart to laminate, and update daily.
 
Punch cards for behavior, center completion, or earning rewards.  
 
 Six different kinds of passes (this is a sample of 3 of the 6).
Labels for reading response journals. Also included are labels for science, math, and writing notebooks, and dream journals!
 
This product includes lots more items (58 pages in all) for turning your classroom into SchoolTown University!
It can be found here, and is on sale through Monday!
