First off, I saw a pin on the infamous Pinterest on how to make your own scratch-offs. I thought that would be such a fun way to reward the kiddos so I made some of my own. They have things like eat lunch outside, no shoes for a day, sit in the rolling chair for a day, etc. Most things are FREE and that makes it even better for me. So, I created mine and laminated them in the business card sized pouches. That way, after the kids reveal the prize, I only need to repaint the square and use it again and again and again...You get the idea. Here's a couple of pictures of the tickets.

I also worked on making some numbers for my calendar. I found this red polka-dotted calendar at School Aids but they didn't have any sports themed numbers so I had to fix that. How do you think they turned out? I still need to put Velcro on the backs but the Velcro is in my classroom and I can't get in yet.
I took Tara's advise and worked on some FUNdametal things but they aren't quite ready to share. Guess I'll have to share next week.

You did a great job on your calendar numbers! I had a sports theme a few years ago and couldn't find calendar numbers to go with my theme either. Yours turned out super cute!!

I love your calendar! Can you tell me where you got your clip art? I'm looking for sports clip art for my school year this year.
I love your blog!! I teach 4th grade and have never really done a theme before (gasp! I know!). I am so inspired by yours:) Please stop by my blog. I am very new to this blogging world and just started up one in my summer "spare time".

I got the clip art on the calendar from DJ Inkers (http://www.djinkers.com/). It is called Grin Again Kids. On the scratch-offs, the clip art is from Scrappin Doodles. I have a few of their sports sets so I am not sure which one it's from.
Thanks for stopping by.

Themes are fun but VERY time consuming and expensive! I usually keep the same theme for about 2 years. Sometimes I wonder if a hodge podge would just be better!
I'm heading over to check out your blog now!

I had no idea that you could make your very own scratchoffs!! Wow! I am in love with everything I have read on your blog! You are such an inspiration. I am very new to the blogging world (2 weeks) and just started my own blog to make the experience more meaningful. I hope you don't mind that I added your button to my sidebar "Blogs I Love". Thank you for sharing your ideas!!
