This is a revisit, so if you have followed my blog since the beginning you've seen this before, but if you would like to see more of my classroom go here.

I'm showing some industrial, maybe not so chic, teaching aides in my class room...I love to reuse junk, normally crowding  land fills, in ways that get the Jr. High kids to using their imaginations...

I made this mini thesaurus of overused words...we call them dead or extinct, so, 

"In other words, use these words" 

instead...

another favorite of mine is using a play on words.

 

Just an old keyboard and industrial time card holder...as time goes by us junkers need to  think of ways to use the more modern junk. I love the graphic quality of the keyboard and just think of all the ways you could use it for messages, names, team spirit, door sayings, (keep out or enter at on risk...)It would be cute if the messages were in text talk.

Endless possibilities, being magnetic, as is much of the industrial junk...my daughter has a time card holder in her sewing room, sprayed a fun green. It holds sewing notions and ideas. I sold one in a booth, as a memo board with pictures, cards, invitations stuck in it and number magnets on it.  Most places use computers for punching in at work, now, so I found two at Goodwill, for a dollar each!

I printed the words on card stock, but it would be cool to use old time cards.

Have fun at Margo's party, lots of cool stuff!
