The first one was inspired by Pernille Ripp and this post.
Here is my version that needs to be laminated.
I also loved Terri Thorton's post about her STAR literacy Binder. She is actually doing a litte series. Terri was so sweet that she out the cover below as a freebie on the intro post.

I wanted to include some starfish on mine since I'm doing an ocean theme. I'm still not entirely satisfied since I think it's a bit girly but I'm on the lookout for come better starfish for the background.
I also made a banner for my classroom. I haven't printed up the much larger version that will go between our two team classes. We will add clear stickers with all the students names in the two classes.
I still have a TON of things that I want to make but I'm quickly running out of time. This year I had three weeks at the beginning of the summer that was totally free but I guess I wasn't as motivated as i should have been now I have no time. Oops!
I also made a purchase
and I made a bunch of reservations but I mentioned both yesterday for the Sunday Smorgasbord.
Wow, there are already almost 100 posts to look at and it's only 8:30 am PDT. Be sure to check out all the wonderful things over at 4th Grade Frolics.
I love the idea of showing the kids which books I read. I'm going to have to give that one a try.

This is a great idea to share with the kids what you are reading. I have a competition with the kids in my class to get them motivated to read. Nobody EVER wants me to win! Lol!

What a cute way to show that you read, too! I think it's important for children to see their parents, teachers, and other adults reading!
