My first "Made It" project was updating my Teacher Binder. You can see the binder I made last summer if you look HERE. This binder kept me together all year. I think I held up better than my binder did because it was showing some serious wear & tear. I loved having everything in one central place so it was time to make a new binder for a new school year! I cleaned out the old one, printed off my calendars, punched holes in my favorite lesson plan book, and got everything organized!
A new binder and a fresh, new cover...
My "To Do" list right in the front...
Monthly calendar pages...
Scope & Sequence
(updating these monthly planning pages is one of the things on my "To Do" list!)
Now that the binder is ready, I can get on with my many other school projects!
On the count of three...1...2...3... please turn your head to the right so you can see the herb markers I made for my garden! Why this picture won't rotate is a mystery! Anyway, the little metal chalkboard markers are from Michaels craft store. I used regular old chalk to write the names of my plants but then it washed away when it rained. Thought I could just apply some Mod Podge over the chalk to seal it in but when I brushed it on, the letters all wiped away! I guess I need a spray sealer to do the trick or some of those fancy markers that look like chalk.
My last "Made It" is a yummy one! I baked nine dozen cookies for the Outreach summer campers to enjoy this week!
Hope you have a great week!
I am impressed!!! I love your teacher binder! I am determined to be better organized this year! The cookies look YUMMY! That is on my things to do list tomorrow since my oldest is at church camp this week. I hope you have a great summer! Thanks for stopping by Cooking Up Success!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! Maybe just use a white paint pen on those markers?? Hope you find something that works for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to update my teacher binder, but I think I'm going to wait on that one. Nine dozen?! I usually lose steam after 1 or 2. I hope those campers enjoy the cookies made with love :)

You look quite organized for next year already! Your little chalkboard markers are awesome; I would have tried Mod Podge too.
