After having a teacher-gasm over spotting AMAZINGLY adorable and FUNCTIONAL creative student work displays by the fabulous  Maribel from Learning in Wonderland and Lauren Dennis on Instagram, I was beyond inspired to shake up my student work displays this year. Read about the process and final product, see the original inspiration from the fab ladies mentioned above (AWESOME examples and tutorials from both!), and get started spicing up your work displays pronto!  See a few sneak peeks of my final displays below and check out the blog post for full deets!

September S.L.A.N.T.box Arrived!

This is my 2nd month participating in the teacher SLANTbox exchange, hosted by Jameson @ Lessons with Coffee. If you're not familiar with SLANTbox exchange, you should read all about it HERE and maybe you'll join up next month! Special thanks to Laura @ Enchanting Elementary for the amazing SLANTbox this month. The theme was "Teacher Voice On," and we filled our boxes with goodies that were essential to teacher survival. She loaded my box up with so much FUN...and even some yumminess that I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the box.  Thanks so much, Laura!

// This Week @ S.T.E.M.agination Station //

Picture
This week we fully kicked off STEMagination Station with our 2 classes (4th & Kg.). We read the story of Rapunzel, then students were given the STEM challenge of building the tallest, free-standing tower to help the witch ensure no one could ever rescue Rapunzel. Student teams had only dried spaghetti and marshmallows (large and small) to use for materials. It was a BLAST & many engineering process lessons were learned. Stay tuned for more STEMagination Station updates!

// It's Getting SPOOKY @ My House! //

Picture

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things Fall and Halloween....especially decorating the house with ghoulish delights to make our home feel festive! Last weekend my mom was in town, and since she's the QUEEN {watch out, Martha Stewart} of all things home decor, especially seasonal decorating, I asked her to help me crank out some spooky scenes.  Below is a sneak peek....with a FULL BLOG POST with details, sources, and tips on BARGAINS coming SOON {hopefully by end of weekend}. Stay tuned for SPOOK-tacular tips & tricks!
