Classroom Scratch off Lottery Tickets

So I was stalking Pinterest recently and found these classroom scratch off tickets.

I decided I wanted to see if I could try my hand at them myself. I am SUPER happy with the results and decided to do my own little tutorial!

The Cast of Characters (supplies you need):

For the actual scratch off part you will need:

acrylic paint

dish soap
small containers for mixing
paint brushes

I used Martha Stewart paints

You need to use two parts acrylic to one part dish soap. I did not measure and just eye-balled it and it turned out fine!

I created a lottery ticket with prizes my kids would want and printed and laminated it (So I can use them over and over). ***Tip: When I make my next set I will vary the order the prizes go in so kids are not able to memorize the order.

I used Frog Tape around the edges I wanted to paint, but for the next three cards I just painted by hand...it was soon much faster and easier!

Here is how they turned out!!!

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
