Leveling the Classroom Library

As a summer project, I am leveling my classroom library.  As a fourth grade teacher, my class library was organized by genre.  I had colored smiley stickers on the spine of each book that corresponded with the color of the book basket.  Each genre had a different color sticker/basket.  Now that I'm moving to third grade, I have decided to level the books instead.  Each book will have a sticker on the front that has the level written on it, each level in a different color.  Books will be in matching basket color, of course.  Pictures will follow as the project progresses.

Crochet ADD

Apparently I have crochet ADD.  As I was looking through my crochet basket, I found 5 (yes FIVE) crochet afghans that I started and haven't finished.  I find all these different patterns and projects that I just have to try, so I do.  I start them . . . and I get about halfway done. And then I start another one.  So I'm promising myself that I will do my best to finish these projects.  And to make myself do just that, I will post pictures of the finished products here.  That should put some pressure on me!

Welcome to the blog!

Welcome to my new blog!  I've decided to combine my love for teaching with my love of crafts, especially crocheting.  I hope to share teaching ideas from my 4th grade classroom and craft projects, both in progress and when they are finished.  So come on along and join the ride!
