Monday Made It

Good morning! I am so thrilled to be linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for a Make it Monday challenge! I actually got crafty without making a card. Imagine that! I loved using clipboards with my firsties last year for more than just kids that needed to finish work during recess time (outside because I needed a break!).

I discovered reading and writing the room. Intentionally reading and writing the room.  And bringing clipboards to the rug for group lessons (more than just white boards).

Therefore, my mission for this year was to purchase a class set of clipboards (I only have 3 before and would just have the kids use a hard book to write on).  Mission: Complete!  But I couldn't just leave well enough alone.  Those clipboards were a boring brown. You know the type. Boring.  Thus, this week's Make it Monday success!

I ventured out to Michael's to grab some 12x12 apple dp, cardstock, modge podge, and sponge brushes.  After measuring and cutting, I got down to business.  I added mod podge to the clipboard. Then, I laid the paper over it. I discovered that I need to let this layer dry before adding a top coat of modge podge to avoid the paper buckling or wrinkling.

Voila! The finish product! I made 21 of these bad boys!

Now it's back to card-making and literacy-and-math-centers-making.

Thanks for stopping by!
