Magic Answer (Flip Chute)

Image
By
Don't we all just love Pinterest? I know I do! I have been wanting to implement math centers into my routine this year and I slowly want to teach my students games that can one day be part of their math centers. I am currently working on a math fluency "program" (future post) and I knew that I wanted math facts to be a big part of my math centers. I saw this flip chute on pinterest and I thought it was perfect.


I went ahead and made one of my own. It was actually pretty easy.


There is a video on Classroom DIY, but I decided to do a more step-by-step video. You can see that video here.

I also  made a template in word that you can go ahead and type your questions and answers into. Click the photo to visit my TPT where you can download the template for free.

    Loving this! I pinned the exact same flip chute and want to make one as well. Thanks for the template.

      You are very welcome. I'm still trying to figure out a template where I can flip the answers so they will come out right side up.

    Love your flip shoot. I made one years ago when I was in 3rd grade! I would love to have you come and visit my blog and enter my giveaway. You could win a laminator!

      I saw it on Pinterest and I knew I had to make one. I didn't have any intention of making one yet because they are a lot of work to make it, if you decorate it as much as I did. I was drinking lemonade and I didn't want to through out the carton, so I just made it now! :-)

    Firstly, LOVE THIS. Secondly, watched the video (so great!) - love how you are like the queen of crafting supplies. So many cool tools! I'm super jealous! Out of curiosity, what do you think the age range is for this shoot? Like, do you think older kids might find it less interesting because they understand how it works? Thanks for sharing your expertise!!

      Haha, yes I have a ton of crafting tools. I have my own craft room in my house. It's my hobby of choice. :-) I think older kids 3-5 would enjoy it. I definitely think K-2 would find it the most interesting because they really do think it's magic.

Monday Made It Planner Stickers

By
Today I am linking up for Monday Made It. It is my first time this summer. This summer has flown by and I can't believe that I only have one more week left until meetings and two weeks until I meet my new kindergarten students. Since the school year is sneaking up on me, I am in creative mode and crafting up a storm. As teachers, I feel like we all have something in common... a love for planning. Lesson planning, life planning, to do lists, etc. Over the past few months I have been creating my own planner stickers and I have become a little obsessed. I plan on making more as well as stickers for my teacher planner and lesson planner. If you are interested in some of my stickers, you can find them HERE . After taking a two year break from TpT, I have started updating my old products and creating new ones. One of those includes my Neon Chalkboard Classroom Rules. You can find them HERE for free in my TpT store.

Before Pictures

Many people that walk into my classroom think that it is such a clean and organized room. Clean... yes. Organized... NO WAY!! Here is what everyone sees my classroom as... I love my room and I spent a lot of time rearranging it to make it fit my needs as well as my students' needs. It is a very functional classroom, aside from the organizational piece that is missing. Today I am going to share with you my "secrets". Are you ready for them? I must say that they aren't pretty. Be warned, you are about to see my BEFORE photos.   This area looks fairly organized, except for the fact that I don't use ANY of it. I ocassionally lift up the fabric to get the students' reading books and a binder here and there, but other than that, these shelves are taking up prime real estate.   One of my few cabinets that lock is filled with supplies that don't need to be locked up.  Math centers that have never been used because I still have no clue how I want to organize them. ...

Welcome to Plan With Me Sundays Blog Hop! This is my first time participating and I am so excited! I have been a planner all of my life and I absolutely love writing things down and organizing my life. This week I wanted to link up with Keeping up with Mrs. Harris and Kreative in Kindergarten because I love looking at other people's planners. Before I share with you my planner(s) I just want to let you know that I have THREE, yes three. One is my personal planner with my every day to do lists, chores, appointments, etc. My second is my business planner. I use this to organize things for work, my TpT store and blog, as well as my Etsy. The third planner is my Erin Condren teaching planner. I will not be sharing that planner this week, but you can learn all about it HERE . I will be sharing two of my planners here with you today. The first is my business planner. It is an Erin Condren planner in the vertical layout. I love this layout because it is broken down into thre...
