Pinterest Inspired Make It Monday

He's a picture of that I pinned months ago. 

I love this for  Word Work during the Daily 5.  My main concern was the actual time spent spelling words rather than digging through the container.  I was alos concerned about letting them cut out thier own letters. I don't know about you, but my magazine choices don't always have the most child friendly articles.  (Love those gossip mags!)

So... I did the cutting!  I cut out letters from all those People, Ok! and In Style magazines.  Then I realized that the kids in my room next year were a bit on the lower side, and a bit attention impaired.  I decided to go ahead and purchase one of those hardware/tackle boxes from Wal-Mart for $3.96.  I labeled each spot.  (I am seriously CDO -- alphabetical order for my OCD.)

I sorted those little buggers and cameto find out that my magazines rarely use Js, Qs, and Fs in the headings.  So I am on the look out for a few more.  I broke out the Modge Podge and added the title of this Daily 5 choice on he top of the container. 

I am debating on letting the kids actually glue the words onto a paper for accountability.  Seriously, my upcoming class needs guidance.  I might recruit some of my stay at home moms to cut letters out for me.  I could ask my Spanish speaking moms that want to help, but don't know how.  I already have one I plan to enlist as my room mom!!  (I need to practice/learn more Spanish!)

What are you doing today?
