Pointers - Queen of the First Grade Jungle

Pointers

So I saw these adorable pointers on Sarah Cooley's blog: http://firstgraderatlast.blogspot.com/2010/07/perfect-pointers.html  and I had to make my own! So when I went into Lexington to meet some friends today... Nash and I took a detour to Hobby Lobby.  My husband is very lucky we don't have a Hobby Lobby or a Target in Danville or we would be broke :).  I found tons of little animals to put on top of the dowel sticks that I got at Walmart last week.  So with just a little hot glue...
Just two of my favorites!
Ahhh! How cute are these! I also got the bucket at Hobby Lobby.  I made the label using my brand new Cricut that my husband bought me for Christmas! I can't wait for my students to use these during Centers!

  3. Very cute. I made some few years ago but they are not as cute. I will have to take a trip to Hobby Lobby.

  6. I started doing this too. I now make monthly ones. My students are so excited the first of the month to see what pointers I created. This month is snowflakes and penguins. Next, hearts of course!

  8. This is such an amazing idea- very keen to make some for my classroom. Just one question, do they last? Are the animal 'bits'' made of wood? I live in New Zealand and we don't have a hobby lobby:( Thanks for sharing.

  10. Obviously that "reward" never appeared and homegirl was left holding an unfilled sack. To compound an already painful situation he additionally owed her cash for rent. The judge honored her the rent yet that $7,000 is gone for eternity. Reason being? She had kept on living with the man long after the credit had been made which would exhibit on a sound judgment level she was content not accepting one red penny. https://www.usacheckcashingstore.com/san-diego
