Nuts About School Bookmark

Well hello everyone!!!  I am so glad that I am finally able to post something today!  As you can see, I survived the first two days of school with my new kiddos....  The first two days actually went pretty well, and I seem to have a pretty good bunch, and I'm excited that they seem to know all of their letter sounds already.  :)  I've had so much on my mind (I can't imagine why), I forgot to take pictures of my classroom again.  I will definitely be doing that soon...  For now, here is something I made for a few challenges...  :)  I decided to make a bookmark, and I will actually be using this in my classroom.  Every afternoon I read 1 chapter from the Magic Tree House book series.  It is a really fun series, it's perfect for a 1st grade read-aloud chapter book, and my students think they are so cool because they are listening to a chapter book (just like the big kids)!  :)
