Painting Project...

I like to make handmade things for my classroom. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Last year I made my treasure box and my kids loved it.

I am going to do a couple more things for my room this year, and I started with handpainted clips for my clip chart. I got wooden clothespins and stars. I painted them yellow and gold, and then painted the clothespins different colors. I am going to write the kids names on the stars with paint pen once I get my class list. Here's how they turned out: 

I like them! I think it will help my kids focus on their star behavior when I ask them to move their star instead of moving their clip.
