Monday Made It

I am so thrilled to be linking up with Tori again for Monday Made It!

1st: I love building up a positive classroom environment!  This is our newest addition to our store & the kids are loving it. There is more to it than the picture reflects & I am going to jazz it up in the next week & will repost the new picks ... can't wait!

Click the picture to see it in our store.

This product contains a fantastic system of rewards & incentives. Many of them are little or no cost to the teacher. Some of the ideas could be supplied by donations.

Have fun setting up your own system.

We put a ton of thought into a variety of ideas to add to this product & know there are many more great ideas out there. We would love to hear from you!

We hope this product helps support your positive classroom climate!

Included:
Signs for the header of the rewards for display

Punch cards in 4 different styles

Play money in a variety of increments for store set ups
(Can be used in dramatic play)

65 different coupons/cards with pictures & words that are easy for the children to understand
(The cards can be printed as a set or individually as coupons)

1 set of blank cards to create your own reward cards.

If there is something you would like us to add, please contact us @ planethappysmiles@gmail.com

2nd:  The second item I have been working on is a Color By Code set

It contains a variety of crayon colors and numbers 1-20. Perfect for giving directions on color-by-number activities.  The crayons are my own personal clipart ... getting crafty! LOL

3rd:  For all of my zebra friends out there & black & white//rainbow chevron ...

Yahoo ... 

These are schedule cards to display in the classroom throughout the year. They were made to fit the $1.00 pocket charts you can find at Target, but a standard schedule pocket chart will work as well. You can also staple them on a bulletin board.

There are 78 schedule cards in this file.  We made these to fit our needs & we know there are many more ideas out there for schedules. We will be more than happy to add to our file upon request. You can email us @ planethappysmiles@gmail.com

I love that they have the clock attached ... no more reprinting clocks when I have misplaced them ... Oops I guess I just let you know I am not the most organized teacher ... but I am trying :o)

Religion was not included in this file because we are a public school. We might be able to add them upon request.

OK ... there are tons of others we have added & most are under 3 dollars with several free items ... please go check them out.  Before you rate, if you are unhappy, email us & we will help solve the problem.  We want you to love our stuff!

While you're here, join our contest.  If this 1st one is a success, we will offer many more!

Happy Teaching!

Scientist Exploration

I put these tubs together from a variety of materials I have collected.  We used these tubs in our science lab to help discover some of the different jobs in science.  It was so interesting to see how the children investigated the materials in each tub.  As soon as I get permission to post pictures, I will.

Materials in the tubs: 

Vet: Melissa & Doug vet costume, ace bandage, stuffed animals, pet carrier, books about animals

Doctor: blood pressure machine, stethoscope, magnets to represent DNA strands, books about our 5 senses 

Geologist: a variety of rocks, eye protection, hand lenses

Physics: variety of magnets, magnetic gears, book about magnets 

Biologist: leaves, nests, dirt dabbers nest, hand lenses, turtle shell, books, file folder games

Paleontologist: dinosaurs, hand lenses, fossil, books

You can pick up the tub labels for free, please leave feedback it you do.  I know not all of the professions are provided, but those were the ones that I used. 

I hope this helps someone out there.

Happy Investigating!
