Five For Friday!!!!!

It's that time of the week again........F.R.I.D.A.Y.!   It's practically my favorite word in the English language....well, at least during the school year!  Giddy-up for some fun~

Time to hook up with Doodle Bugs Teaching to bring you my "Five For Friday!"

  

                                      

At the end of last year, I noticed a teacher friend's filing cabinet all decorated.  I thought it was scrapbook paper at first but then she told me it was contact paper.  I decided to experiment and try it out myself.  Now, this is NOT the most creative example but you get the idea!  I removed the handles and made a template.  Cut, apply, and voila!  You have cute, decorated filing cabinets. I made labels that you can download for FREE.  Just click HERE to download them.  I'd appreciate any comments you would leave me :)  I am also going to try to use scrapbook paper on one to see how that turns out.  I'll keep you posted~

These were loosely based on the Subway series from KinderCraze.  You can see her set HERE.  I wanted something very specific on my classroom rules so I made these :)

 

This is obviously not a finished product, but I was able to get into my classroom one day this week.  I went in armed with a bunch of crafty supplies (paper, ribbons, etc.) to play around with.  I decided I wanted to cover my bins with a solid color.  I have some really cute denim-designed scrapbook paper.  I cut out the size and inserted but didn't have my Mod Podge with me.  I'll have that done next week.

I will not lie.  This picture makes me happy!  I had a*VERY OLD* old rolling card in my house. I think I used to use it in my bedroom to hold toiletries.  It was black and dusty when I started. {Kicking myself for not taking a before pic!}  I spray painted it purple and took it to school.  Each tray is big enough to hold a letter-size bin on a slant.  I filled that puppy up and plan to use it next to my GR table. It has a spot for everything I'll need during small group work!

Yes, this is a picture of my horrendous, hideous, laundry room......and sadly, what you're seeing is an improvement!  It is my goal to transform this room before I go back to school.  I think I'll need some help and A LOT of pinning!

Hope you enjoyed Five For Friday.  Now head on back to Doodle Bugs Teaching to check out more great posts!  Happy Weekend!!!
