Monday made it Linky

Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics is hosting her FIRST EVER Monday made it linky party and I was So super excited to join! As my husband and I went grocery shopping last night I had to pick up cat food. We always pick up 6 containers of wet food each month. Here are the empty boxes!

 

I have never put any thought into keeping these boxes...until now! My mind was racing last night trying to think of what to use these for! HAHA! I have a billizion task cards from ProTeacher and they are just all over my classroom in no specific order! So...light bulb please! These can be used to house my task cards! 

As soon as I woke up I just had to go to The Dollar Tree and Michaels! I found some frames that I am using to make my kids end of the year gifts and then bought scrap paper for these boxes.

With a little bit of hot glue, scrap paper, cute label buttons from Graphics from the Pond and...presto! 

So what do you think??? I am redoing my WHOLE math area this summer and wanted a place for specific things! 

Do you have any other ideas what I could use these boxes for? What other things around the classroom could you see yourself using these boxes for?

Also, I have made my end of the year gifts for the kids! It's not much, but I really think they will like it! I went to the Dollar Tree today and got 21 clear 4x6 photo frames like this:

Then, I created a word cloud on each student, used my snip it tool to create a photo from the word cloud...like this one:

Next, I used PowerPoint and super cute backgrounds from Graphics from the Pond to create the picture to put in the frame!


Here is my FINAL product!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out! I hope they like them!

Now my mind is spinning full of ideas! I think I already know what I want to do for next week! Here is a sneak peak at it! But with a R for my last name instead of an A. I am thinking about hanging it in my classroom?

As soon as school is out on Thursday, I can get busy with it! Here is to a fantastic week!
