When I found this adorable mini-scrapbook with our mascot on it, I couldn’t resist snatching it up. It was $3.00 at Big Lots too, so it was a steal! I didn’t know what on earth I would use it for, but that seemed trivial at time. I knew I’d figure something out! I always do. I’m making the assumption that YOU are an elementary teacher too, so I think it’s also safe to assume that you know exactly what I’m talking about because you probably do it too! But I digress.
After a impromptu trip to Pat Catans, I walked out with a ton of cute crafty stuff for my classroom, including a few alphabets, scrapbook paper, and stickers to jazz up my book. While browsing, I found adorable stickers with great examples of figurative language and others to organize by theme.
I am HUGE on writing, and I thought this might help enrich and expand my students existing word banks. These are just a few snapshots of a handful of pages, but this has become a helpful resource in my classroom, especially for students with limited vocabularies or writer’s block. So simple…yet so powerful!
