Monday Made It! {Fancy Magnetic Whiteboards, Herbs, and Quilt Blocks}

I am loving this summer!  I have been finishing up tons of projects!  And it is time again for my latest reveal! That's right!  I am linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics!

Last week I read about a MMI from Jackie at Pocket of Preschool.  She made student chalkboards out of trays from Dollar Tree.

I wanted to create a similar idea, except use dry erase sheets.  This way the students can use them as a whiteboard when they meet with me for small group instruction.  I have seen some teachers use the dry erase circles permanently on their small group table.  That wasn't going to work for me, because my small group table also doubles as the breakfast buffet table each morning for our Breakfast in the Classroom.  I thought that individual whiteboards would be a perfect solution!

So I headed off to Dollar Tree and picked up 6 trays.

I also picked up a few packs of these dry erase sheets.  I found them at my local Jo-Ann's.

I traced the bottom of the tray onto the back side of the dry erase paper.  I cut them to the correct size and positioned them onto the silver tray.

All ready to go!  Students will get to use a fancy whiteboard when they meet with me!  As a bonus, these trays are magnetic too!

I headed out to my patio to work on my next Monday Made It.  I wanted to create an herb pot.

I picked up some basil, chives, and rosemary at my local nursery.

Then I planted them in a pot that I already had.

Love this!  Can't wait to start cooking with my fresh herbs!

FYI - Mr. B can't stay out of the chives, and they are toxic to cats!  So my herb pot is out of his reach.  And my next week's MMI will be a pot of cat grass!

Here is my latest quilt update.

I finished 2 more blocks!
