I have been working on my Action Research project for my master's class and I am SO SICK of research, I needed a brain break. I have SO many things I want to share with you but I have to complete this paper first {Lord help me}! BUT ~ I did create something last night that I am going to use in my classroom for my restroom passes. I've always used the bookmark type that say "girl's" and "boy's" and have my students lay them on their desk before they leave so that if I'm working with a small group, I can see they are in the restroom if I need them. A while back I saw another teacher post about her restroom passes (please let me know if YOU are the one... I couldn't find the original post from way back) and she used the clear frames that stand up on their own. You just slide a picture (or paper) in them and they are ready to go! I LOVED the idea and so I created some passes that go along with my nature/camping/owls theme. Take a look:

What I LOVE is that they are not laying flat on their desks and can be seen easily from anywhere in the classroom. I bought the 5X7 frames at Wal-Mart for $1 each. (I couldn't find them at my Dollar Tree). I am going to print out another set on cardstock and change out since the paper wrinkled a bit trying to insert them in the frames. I am going to post this set below if you would like a copy. I'm also going to add a couple more designs that are more generic boy and girl pictures later, after I work a little more on my {pardon me} paper. I wish I was finished so that I could create, focus on back to school things and de-stress a little. Keep your fingers crossed I will get LOTS done today.
Hope everyone is having more fun than me...Smiles (actually sad face)~
