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!

I have been barreling through with this cold all week. We started learning about inference this week. For the most part it has been going well. We read "Made out of Meat" and then made inferences about the story. The story is a conversation between two beings and their discussion about these beings they have just encountered who are, "Made out of meat." The reader needs to infer that the being having a conversation are aliens and the beings made out of "meat" are humans. An adaptation of the story if you are interested: At the end of the story the aliens decide that they are going to, "Pretend like no one is home," and leave without making contact. One of the inference questions I asked my students was, "Why were the aliens going to pretend like no one is home?" One block of my s...
