Monday Made It: easy peasy silhouettes

I'm linking up with Tara for my first Made it Monday of the summer!

These are our silhouettes displayed for Leadership Day. I actually took their profile pictures on the first week of school intending to make these and never got around to it! They are the most precious things ever!

oops! I think I deleted my pictures! ah!

Everyone added I am a Leader  to their papers since this was a Leader in Me project, but you could add names or anything else for that matter! We typed all of the roles we play in Microsoft Word and printed them. I had them add a border around each word as well to give them something to cut! Then we colored each one and cut them out, glued around our silhouette, laminated, and wa-la! Next year I will do this earlier and leave them displayed all year long. 

Five for Friday Seuss Week Edition! {freebie!}

This was our first FULL week in almost a month! Between Leader in Me Symposium, Leadership Day visits, and SNOW it's been kinda crazy. And it's been exhausting too! Nothing like returning work full swing on Read Across America Week! So here's what we were up to this week!

It's an EXTREMELY busy board, but I love it and everyone stops by to check it out! I bought the Seuss Camera app two years ago and I always use it, but this year I had them printed at Walgreens! So cute! and perfect for these little mini expert books! They range from a few about Pokemon, to chicken (as in the food), to Darth Vader (that's mine!) Here's a little tutorial on accordion folds if you need it, but it's really a no brainer! None of mine were perfect! I made 3 per sheet of white construction paper. They just worked on them while they were not in a guided reading group.

I love these! We are adding a little Leader in Me writing to them too, but here's where they hang their art as they finish! They love putting it on the board for "inspiration"! Download it here! You don't have to be a Leader in Me school to use it! I only added the 7 Habits to the large size writing paper! I also included ways my kiddos and I thought the Cat used the habits!

We had a different theme each day! But this is the only one I got a picture of! boo!

happy weekend!

and don't forget the Iditarod Sled Dog Race begins MONDAY! (they moved it back due to weather). So go grab my classroom activities file while there's still a freebie inside!!
