Wine Rack Pen Holders over the years

So seven years ago I found an old wine rack in my basement and it gave me an idea! I turned the wine rack into a pen holder by replacing bottles of wine with cups!

First Pen Holder

A few years later I decided that it was time to go BIGGER. I bough a bigger wine rack on Amazon (See below) and filled it with summer cups from Walmart.

Second Pen Holder

Last year I decided I wanted to try one more look. I spray painted a wooden wine rack with glitter spray paint and I LOOOOOOOOOVE it!

Third Pen Holder

Some of the spray paints that I have used in the past. I think if I make another pen holder I will use the marbleizing spray!

Short Stories from a Middle School Teacher: Gold Stars

Gold Stars One of my favorite things to do my third year of teaching was team teach. The Civics and Economic teacher and I would put our classes together regularly so we could create cross curricular stations and activities for the kids. The arrangement worked out great because, even though there were more kids in the room, the kids were less willing to act up with two authority figures in the room. One day the Civics teacher’s side of the room was going downhill and fast, while my side of the room was behaving like angels. Finally, he called out, “Whoever is being good will get a gold star!” (Amazingly 8th graders coveted these stars like none other). The room got completely silent and without missing a beat one of the students on my side of the room said, “You mean like Hitler did to the Jewish people?” I suppressed my laughter and thought to myself, “Yes, finally they are retaining true things about WWII!” Then I thought to myself, “Too bad I don’t teach history.”
