CAFE Board Headers

So it's no secret that I LOVE Daily Five.  I started using Daily Five and Cafe last school year, and although I wasn't 100% sold on the program at first, I saw some MAJOR results and now I'm hooked and am planning to use it again this year.  

I thought I'd sit down and make some headers for my CAFE board tonight.  I ended up using some of the CUTE patterned paper on the Flickr board called melstampz.  She makes some fancy schmancy stuff there and I recommend anyone checking it out.  Any who, I thought I'd share the file for the CAFE headers, and here ya' go!

First I'll give you a preview...


 If you'd like to use the file, you can find it HERE!

Word Work Marbles

(I took that blurry picture with my NOT-SO-SMARTPHONE!)

After seeing the GENIUS idea on Pinterest for marble letters (you know, kind of like the MARBLE MAGNETS that everyone was making like, I don't know, five years ago), I got right on the job and whipped up a set of my own.  Here's what they ended up looking like:



All you have to do to make your own set of MARBLE LETTERS is cut out the letter circles, dip the flat side of some small, clear, fish tank marbles in some white school glue, and attach a letter circle on the back of each one.  Just wipe off any messy bits of glue and let them sit and dry and VOILA!  You have your own set of LETTER MARBLES!!!
