Creativity.....


The lunch magnets


This is the bench along with some baskets. Instead of book boxes, this year I am doing book baskets (found at $1 store on Tuesday). And the curtain is courtesy of Mary Lou
I love being creative using someone else's ideas. Most of the things I do creatively are for my job! I love to make things for work. And every year is fun and new for me so I usually like to start out the year with something a little different in my room. So, for now it is the new bench (see previous post) and I just made these cute little fun magnets. They are going to be used for lunch count in the mornings. For the past 5 years I have used small popsicle sticks. So, it was time for something new. In my room I don't personalize many things. I use a number system instead. That's why there are numbers on the magnets. My room colors this year are green, blue, and orange. The picture I am adding are of some of my classroom things and my new little lunch magnets. I am so proud!
And since I am feeling extra crafty these days....the first 4 people to post and comment on this blog post will get something crafty from me!!! ( I got this idea from someone else as well, all my creative ideas are borrowed/stolen/used) :)

I love your magnets! I figured out a few years back that if I used the number system I could use stuff year to year (what a concept!)The bench looks great too - nice work!
