Adding a little Harry *magic* to the desks of my students!

Hello buddies!

I just finished creating a product for my classroom that I LOVE!

After redoing my theme thanks to School Girl Style I couldn't imagine using my old green Desktop Name Tags in my new purple, blue, and silver room.  Therefore I knew I had to take matters into my own hand.  I bought some HP clipart from Blackleaf Studios and then I went to work!

I plan on cutting these out, writing the students names, and laminating them so that they last the year.  I am going to use double-sided tape to attach them to the kid's desks.

Harry and Ron for the boys!

Harry and Hermione for the girls!

I don't know about you, but they just make me SMILE! I particularly LOVE the quote from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone " It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities" -Albus Dumbledore.  What a GREAT message for my students, and yours, to see everyday!


You can grab these from my TPT Store by clicking here:  Harry Potter Desktop Name Tags


Let me know what you think!

Teachers Pay Teachers

I found this FABULOUS site earlier this year.  If you haven't checked it out, you HAVE to.  There are some fantastic teachers out there and they are sharing their work with us.

Damien and I just spent our Saturday afternoon creating and uploading our first activity to www.teacherspayteachers.com. Our first "freebie" is the very first Reading Buddy activity we do.  It is a simple questionnaire that we use to guide the conversation as my first graders meet Damien's fifth graders for the first time.
