Wine Rack Marker/Pen Holder


A few years back I saw an idea on Pinterest to use a wine rack to hold cups that can hold pens and markers. I loved the idea, and I had a small wine rack hanging out in the basement, so I gave it a go. 

This six cup wine holder has been in my classroom for the last few years and I love it!

I decided that I wanted to go BIGGER!

I kept searching Amazon.com until I finally found one that I lurrrrved. 

Oenophilia Bordeaux Chateau Wine Rack- 23 Bottle


It took awhile to find cups at the right size (and price since I needed 23) but finally I found them at Walmart (I couldn't find them online, only in the store).  They come in packs of 2 for $1.98 each and are 29 oz. They fit PERFECTLY in the wine rack and the lips on the rims of the cups stop them from falling backwards in the rack!
Here is my completed project (sans markers and pencils because those are still packed away for the summer!)

I Love it!

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! :  Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be!  I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon. 

Backgrounds for VIPKid and GoGoKid

Okay, so right now this is what my background for my VIPKid and GoGoKid classroom looks like: It's cute and it's colorful, but it is just kind of blah.  You guys! I just discovered the coolest thing! Photo backdrops! You can transform your classroom into almost anywhere in the world within seconds and for under $10! Look at all the options! (Click on the pictures to see on Amazon) Those are just some of the backdrops I found within a quick search. Which one do you think I should get for my wall? I have also been doing some research on lighting and I have heard that this is a pretty good setup. Anyone have any other opinions?
