Paint Sample Calendar

So Friday night rolls around and I find myself once again sitting on Pintereste looking at cute and crafty projects I can't wait to try. Literally, I couldn't wait to try, so I jumped up and headed to Walmart and Lowe's at 9:00 at night! 

At Lowe's I discovered my new favorite teacher tool.... Paint Samples! While viewing and feeling the paint samples at Lowe's I realized... they are basically free card stock!

I saw on Pinterest an incredibly cute idea to use paint samples to create a dry erase calendar. I already had an old picture frame that I wasn't using so all I needed was the paint samples.

 I've decided my color theme this year will be shades of green so I grabbed all of the green paint samples I could get my hands on. It also came in handy because I plan on painting my bathroom green. (kill 2 birds with 1 stone!)

Materials needed:

Large glass picture frame

35 paint samples

tape (to hold the paint samples in place)

This is the final product!

 I decided that I will hang it up in my room to announce special occasions. I don't have a calendar displayed because I teach calendar skills in my everyday morning meeting using the smart board.

Again, this is not my idea. I found it on Pintereste.

Back To School Bulletin Board

Is it that time of year again?
This is a bulletin board welcoming students back to school. It is displayed right outside of our classroom.

Summer Vacation

This summer I spent a lot of time at the beach! We traveled to Dewey Beach in Delaware with my family, boyfriend, and neighbor for a week of fun! My favorite part about Dewey is that it is a dog friendly beach. Everyday at around 5:00 PM the dogs overran the beach. It was so entertaining to watch them frolic in the ocean. I just did not expect them to be so sandy! Little kids getting sandy at the beach have nothing on dogs getting sandy at the beach!
