Monday Made-It...Freebie and Back to School Foldables

Three weeks to go and so it's time to get moving!
I'm here to share some items I made for...

 

The first thing I made were some special recognition certificates.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and knew it was something I could make.

(I'm not very crafty!)

Here is how mine turned out.

I used a 5x7 frame

and made four different certificates.

I'll fill in the certificate,

put it in the frame

 and place the frame on the student's desk.

Don't you think it would be fun to come into

the class and see you have a frame on your desk?

 

The original pin showed the teacher using a dry erase marker

on the frame and reusing the certificates.

I haven't decided if I will do that

or write on the actual certificate.

The kids may want to take a certificate home to share with the family.

What do you think?

 

You can pick up the certificates for FREE

My second project was Back to School Foldables.

I used foldables a LOT last year.

So I decided to start the year with some new foldables.

 

 

My original idea was to make a lapbook

for the start of school.

Then in the middle of the night,

when we get our best ideas,

I had a different thought.

We will make a lapbook at the beginning of the year

and I'll save it.

Then at the end of the year,

we will add more foldables and finish the lapbook.

It will be a fun way for the kids to see how they have changed

and to have a memory book of the school year.

 

Of course, all of the foldables could be put into a writing journal.

It's a way to slowly get the kids into some daily writing.

Again, they can look back at their ideas throughout the year.

 

All of the foldables you need are available

at my TpT and TN store.

 

Are you a big fan of foldables?
