Reading Charts



I created these reading charts to motivate my students.  Every time they pass an assessment level, their animal moves forward a box.  Each star represents a level students need to pass, but the levels and student names are not posted on the chart.  Students will earn an ice cream party if they reach the final star.  This friendly competition has motivated my unmotivated readers!

Monkey Birthday Card


I made this card for my nephew's birthday using the monkey from the New Arrival Cartridge and scraps of monkey paper from his invitations.  It will be entered in the following challenges: Crafty Card Makers (Birthdays), Really Reasonable Ribbon (card for boy with ribbon), Tuesday Morning Sketches (keep it simple with a kid theme), Scrappy Moms (smiley faces), Paper Cutz Challenge (any challenge or theme), and Fantabulous Cricut (Happy Birthday).
