Extreme Desk Make Over

When I was at my old school I had the best desk ever!

It was wooden and HUGE! You cannot tell from the picture but the top of the desk is almost the size of two normal desks put together.

At my new school I got a standard, metal, crappy desk. Well that just wasn't going to fly with me!

I decided to do an extreme desk makeover!

Enter: DUCK TAPE!

I searched Ebay and Amazon for Duck Tape Variety and found many people selling groups of duck tape. Some of the sellers on Ebay sold partially used rolls of duck tape, which worked out fine for what I had planned!

20 minutes and a steady hand later, I had a snazzy new desk! All I did was snip pieces of duck tape to the size of my desk front and placed them carefully on. I made sure that they wrapped under the bottom of the desk (made it nearer and no one sees under the desk anyway!)

I just adore how it turned out!

Duck Tape Desk....don't mind the mess!

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls. I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos). Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample that accented my walls. The last step was gluing the print to the insulation board. I liked this spray the best because I could reposition the print in case I didn't line it up just so. After I got ...

Music for the Middle School Classroom

One of my most popular posts ever was my Pandora Stations for the Middle School Classroom I thought I would let you guys know about another gem that I found that my students LOVED! Rhett Price on Youtube does violin covers of current popular songs. When my classes were doing independent work I would put his channel on a playlist in the background (just listening, not watching). It was awesome to see the students bopping along and singing to themselves as they worked. ***Tip: Because my kids were so into these songs there was never a peep from anyone. If anyone dared to try to speak the rest of the class would shush them so they could keep listening. Here are a few of my students favorites: Rhett Price Youtube Channel Save Save
