I’m slowly trying to get things ready for next year…you know the next year that starts in a little over 3 weeks. UGH.  I just got the hang of summer! 🙂

I got these tubs at the Target Dollar Spot, but they were $3 each:

I REALLY liked them, so 4 Target stores later, I have 24 of them. 🙂 Now…what to do with them?

Well, I initially got them to put my DRA leveled books in that I use in my Guided Reading Groups, so I made labels for them and stuck them on to the boxes with double sticky tape (red line tape). 

I made the labels myself and printed them out and laminated them.

You can get the labels here if you’d like them for yourself. 🙂

I’m going with a turquoise and black theme this year, so I decided to make a new word wall set.  I created these chalkboard circle labels and then laminated them.  I then glued on 15 inches of 7/8 inch ribbon with hot glue to the back of each one. 

I will attach them to my board with magnets and place velcro dots on the black ribbon so the kiddos can take the sight words on and off as they need to. 

You can get them here if you would like them for yourself. 🙂
