And shut the front door. The windows, too. Maybe even the garage.

Did I really just list my first product on TPT? Yes, yes I did.

I’ve been feeling a wee bit under the weather in the past day and couldn’t sleep last night. I decided to work on my organizational binders for this upcoming year and put on The Wiz (I know, I know, I’m a walking cliche) and was hit with a ton of inspiration.
One of the things I love most about the Wizard of Oz is how diverse the story is. There are so many lessons you can learn from it, and as a teacher, so many ways you can utilize those lessons in your classroom. So, naturally, I used quotations from the movie and book to round out my binders and they. fit. perfectly.
I have yet to print + laminate (that’ll be a part of my Monday Made It since I just got my ink refilled at Costco — who knew? — and got a new laminator), so I can’t show you the binders in action… yet. I can, however, share with you my one of favorite covers (it’s hard to choose).

Raise your hand if you think I’m going to use this as a management technique. All hands raised? Great! You’re totally right. I might even play “Ease on Down the Road” to transition out of morning meeting. Who knows! Anything can happen in Oz, er, my classroom!
To celebrate my first paid item in my TPT store, the pack of binder covers + spine labels is on sale for $2.50 until tomorrow at midnight! Head on over and check them out!
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway to win all (now) current and future items in my TPT store! There will be five winners so spread the word!
I’m in a super-de-duper mood to night because I think we might’ve turned a potty-training corner (you have no idea how relieved I am!), the first person to correctly guess my favorite character from the original movie will get a copy of the binder set! Be sure and leave your e-mail!

  4. Sarah,

    You have seriously outdone yourself! I'm lovin' the Oz set!!! Super cutie! I hope I win so I can organize my binders… maybe if I click my heels 3 times I'll win?! Ha! If I had to make a guess… I would guess the Lollipop Guild from Munchkin Land? Don't know if they would count as 1 character though… so if they don't count as ONE character then my next guess would be {the next best thing in Munchkin Land} which is Glinda the Good Witch! 🙂

    I hope I win! I absolutely LOVE the Wizard of Oz!!!

    • I am so thrilled I found your blog. I will be teaching with a dear lady who is moving from 3rd to 4th grade this next year. I taught with her the following year in 3rd. She LOVES the Wizard of OZ, she has puppets, knick-knacks, and she even had her picture taken with one of the Munchkins. I can not wait to tell her about your blog. I will definitely show her your blog. I will also check out your TPT store and see if I can buy her some of the things you have for sale.

      I will definitely be back to visit your beautiful and unique blog. 🙂

      (I am very new to blogging, but stop by mine when you have time. I would appreciate any advice on how to make mine more fabulous.) I don't know if it is too late to guess your favorite character, but how about Dorothy's sweet little dog Toto! 🙂
