To do...
Well it's Sunday and I am working on my To Do list: laundry, grading (well checking), lesson plans, and so on. On my list was to give you all the What's In a Name worksheet that I had created and couldn't upload.
For those of you that read about our first day we completed name bubbles to get to know each other, which lead nicely into this What's In a Name activity. Someone had commented that I should have them use the bubbles and create a wordle...seriously you must know me a little too well, because that is exactly what we are going to do on our second computer lab day! I had them save their name bubbles just for that activity! However I had to wait for the second week of school until we can get into the computer labs...so stay tuned for that activity!
I did want to take a quick survey...as some of you know I also write for another blog Classroom DIY. We are on our fourth month of great classroom do it yourself items. Now I am drawing a blank. I have been trying to get a few ideas from pinterest to try out, but I am still struggling. So my question to you all is what have you been wanting to try and DIY? What would you like to see made? Any suggestions would be great!

Boggle and Add It Up
There are two things I know I want to incorporate in my classroom next year....Boggle (which most of you are familiar with) and Add It Up (I found the idea on Pinterest, which led me to Live Laugh and Love to Learn)
I LOVE how it is set up, I even love how cute it is...but it doesn't match my classroom. So of course I had to change it up a little bit. I also like how the number circles are written on and not premade so that you don't have to make so many and can change it up a little bit.
My thoughts are to make one of the add it up center as well as a boggle center in my room to use when work is completed or even as an independent center...we will see how all works in my class.
As some of you know I am also going to be teaching 5th grade next year, so I am thinking I will start with the simple version of boggle (directions are attached for both versions) and then move up to the "normal" version of boggle. Then for add it up I will start with the add it up game (directions attached), but using three and four digit numbers. Then...this is where I am stuck, so any ideas will be greatly appreciated, I want to make it a little more difficult. Meaning maybe have them multiply two and three digit numbers (but would need a cute name), again I haven't taught 5th grade in a long time so I am not sure what else I would want to do. And of course I would make new title labels and directions then share them with you all. I am just needing ideas....so please share!
Stay tuned for pictures of the games in my own classroom.
Lastly don't forget to head over and like Classroom DIY. I am being featured tomorrow with a cute DIY classroom game! There are a TON of great ideas for you to make, you won't be disappointed!
