Made it monday and miscellaneous

Mondays are my favorite!  I love seeing all the crafty projects!  This week I decorated a paper towel holder to use for all those anchor charts that walls cannot hold.  This was my inspiration:

Here is what I came up with:

I took a wooden paper towel holder, painted it black then added the dots (dots are also my favorite).  Next, I added three metal rings and the clear plastic paper protectors (I placed card stock in each one to keep the protectors upright).

Now all I have to do is take a picture of my anchor chart before taking it down and add it to a protector.  Students can use it as a resource all year long.  The sad thing is that my holder looked much cuter without the protectors attached to it.

Now on to the miscellaneous...
