Happy Monday!!! It's been a busy one here with more packing and sorting. It took some time to also have lunch with two other 3rd grade teachers! I am going to miss them:(
Before I get into my Monday Made it, I have decided to order an Erin Condren Teacher Planner. Now, I got the life planner last year but didn't really use it. I think the Teacher Planner will be put to more use for teaching and life. Now...I can't decide which one to get. I have narrowed it down to two choices
The one on the right is the favorite things. I can list my favorite things in the background. I really like that. But the colors and the writing on the left one catches my eye!
Which one would you choose?
What I need to do now is take a break and share my Monday Made it!
Back on May 30th I shared my Minute to Win it pack! I put it up in my TpT store for FREE and have had some awesome feedback!
I want to share with you my classes Minute to Win it day! It was SOOOO much fun! The kids LOVED it! But it was also very tiring because we did ALL 16 games in 1 day! From 9am to 11:30 and then 12:50-2:45.
Here are some of the games and the pictures!
This was by far my FAVORITE one! I was in tears from LAUGHING!
And no, this was NOT a drinking game! lol!
This game is harder than it looks. Many teams broke their TP...only 1 team got their point for this game!
If you look on the board in the back...I used a huge piece of butcher paper and made a grid of the 12 teams. This is where they all kept their score!
This one is also hard!
We used Fruit loops since I couldn't find candy hearts in May! It was actually pretty hard!
I decided not to have the kids place the toothpicks in their mouth...too dangerous!
And there you have it:) It was a blast and I highly recommend it!
remember you can get it for FREE at mt TpT shop!
Just click on the picture below!
I noticed some spelling errors on it. So I am going to fix it. If you downloaded it before, please download again!
I am off to check some Monday Made it's Now...instead of packing;)

These games are great! I'm going to use this with boy scouts next week. Oh, and I'd go for the striped planner - the colors are more vivid and make me happy.

I loved seeing the pics of your students having fun! I will have to try those Minute to Win It games with my new group in the fall. They'd be a great team building activity. Best of luck with your interview. They would be lucky to have you!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my teacher planner! I loved the favorite things one but I couldn't think of a definite list of what I would have wanted on the planner so I got a patterned one instead.

No, not yet. I am waiting to hear from a few people. If I don't hear by Sunday, she is going on Craigslist!
DeleteI can't wait to play these with my class next year. These could be good brain brakes too! I might have to try them with my kids here at home tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Good Luck with your interview!!!

My Erin Condren planner should be here tomorrow and I am so excited! I went with the chalkboard theme, but the one you have on the left was a top 3 contender for me :)

Bought my EC teacher planner in May. I TOTALLY would pick the rainbow stripe one only because that is the exact one I picked out and I LOVE how bright and eye catching it is! Go with it : )
