Monday Made It! Letters, Planners, and Minions, Oh My!

Howdy folks! Today I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for my very first Monday Made It!! Now with the new baby, I don't get much time. But I use every minute of naptime for something these days...mostly laundry and dishes (ugh). But I have made a few things lately and I thought I would share!

My first "Made It" was put together for my baby girl's nursery. I desperately wanted those fancy letters that spell her name on the wall, but I wasn't about to pay upwards of twenty bucks a letter for them. So I took it upon myself and my clipart/computer skills to come up with a matching set of letters just for her wall. $3.00 frames from Walmart and I had a pretty little way of putting her name up.

And on to the next one!

My next Monday Made It is my teacher planner. I've already blogged about it here so I'll just add in a photo for you!

And one more, just for good measure!

My last Monday Made It is my favorite! I always struggle with bulletin boards. I've been using the same one for four years. It was nothing fancy....Just a welcome sign with circle cutouts with the kids names put on them. This year I wanted something new and fun to put up for the beginning of the year and I couldn't think of anything more fun than MINIONS!! I love those little yellow guys and they make my daughter laugh hysterically. So I decided to put together a Minion themed bulletin board. Here it is in all its glory...lying on my kitchen floor since I can't get into the school building until the end of the month.

The final board will read "Meet My Minions!" I love it and can't wait to put it up!

That's all I have for today, but stop in soon for more! Be sure to check out the other Monday Made Its by visiting 4th Grade Frolics and hopping through the linky party!

Plan With Me Sunday! My Teacher Planner

Good Morning Friends! I'm blogging while the baby is sleeping, but she's starting to stir so this might be a short and sweet post. Today I am linking up with Kreative in Kindergarten and Keeping up with Mrs. Harris for Plan With Me Sundays! Today I wanted to share my teacher planner with you!

Truth be told, I would LOVE an Erin Condren planner, but that money would have to come out of the diaper and formula budget so I have to improvise and make my own. In total,( my planner cost me a whopping $4.28 at Office Depot. The cover I did at home, the copies I made at school, and the binding was the only out of pocket expense. (Unless you count my pens and washi tape). So here we go!

My cute little cover. When I had it bound, they added a hard plastic cover for me.

Two page spread calendar... Gotta love some KG fonts!

And another two page spread. I do plan on livening it up a bit with some more washi tape when I get a chance to go out.

These are my two page spread lesson planning pages. They will be color coded once I start planning!

Checklists! Gotta have checklists! Again, sorry about the sideways pictures.

Gradebook! Lots and Lots of Pages!

These are for meeting notes, grade level stuff, and jotting down ideas!

 It's not an Erin Condren..But it serves my needs and contains pages for everything I need this upcoming year. It will be prettier once the year starts and I get all of my color coding done on the inside. Baby is most definitely awake now, so I've gotta run!! Check back soon for more back to school posts and ideas!
