Monday Made It! {School, Sweets, Sewing}

It's time for Monday Made It!  I'm linking up again with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics.

Let's get started!!!

I made a school related project!  Yay!  The first of the summer!

Here is a scenario that happens monthly with me.  I find a paper in my teacher mailbox saying that it's time for me to choose my next student of the month, and turn in it by this Wednesday, thank you very much.  I think about who I should pick, and I try to find my list of students that I have already chosen, so I can pick a different student.  I can't find my list, so I put the paper on my desk and forget about it for a few more days.

Before I know it, it's Wednesday and someone is walking in my room, right in the middle of instruction, asking me for that student of the month paper. AHHHHHH!  I still don't know who I should choose!  So I find myself asking the students, "Who has been student of the month already?"

HELP!  I needed to get better organized!  So I decided to make a poster that will display all the students of the month for the entire year.  I thought that posting it in the classroom will be an incentive for my students to stay on task, in addition to reminding me who has been chosen.

I am planning on taking a picture of each of the students of the month and then posting them in each starred rectangle.

All ready to be laminated!

Did you know that yesterday was National Ice Cream Day???

Well, look at this creation!!!  I made a volcano out of ice cream!

I found the picture in an old Family Fun magazine and thought it looked like fun!

Here is what you need to get started.

Ice cream, chocolate cookies, chocolate syrup, strawberries, and mint

Invert the ice cream carton upside down onto a plate.  It is easier if the ice cream is a little soft.  You can run warm water on the outside of the carton, which loosens the ice cream from the edge of the carton.

Use a spoon to shape the ice cream into a volcano shape.

Place chocolate cookies into a plastic bag and smash with a rolling pin to make crumbs.

Sprinkle cookie crumbs onto the ice cream and add chocolate syrup if desired.  Use strawberries to create a "lava flow".  Add mint sprigs.

And enjoy!!!

And here is my quilt update!
