Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

July 14, 2014 By Rachel

I’m linking up with Tara to share a few Made-Its from my nephew’s 2nd birthday party last week!
The first made-it is the banner!
I dusted off my silhouette and made some Mickey heads.
If you’d like the pattern, click here.
 I then cut out the letters using the font HelloHotDiggity from the fabulous Jen Jones!  Are you singing the song? “Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!”
You can get her fonts here at her TpT store.
 I think the letters look so “Disney”!!
I didn’t take pictures of this, but I punched holes on both ears of each Mickey head.  I tied red ribbon (I would’ve used yellow too, but I didn’t have any) to connect each piece.
I just traced one of the heads on red construction paper for the spacer.
The table set up was super easy!
Just a black plastic table cloth, red plates, yellow napkins & forks.
A simple Mickey doll and tissue poms!
(My mom actually made the poms…love you mom!!)
There are tons of instructions out there on how to make them on Pinterest.
But here is the one I use.
We used red and blue plastic serving dishes.
The goodie bags turned out SO cute!
They were just black paper bags.
I didn’t get a close up shot of the purple one 🙁
 Take make the ears, I just traced a plastic cup and taped them on.
My sister-in-love, Lisa cut construction paper and taped it on the bottom.
I traced a water bottle cap to make the polka dots.
My mom drew some bow and I used white paint and a q-tip to make the dots on the bows!
 Didn’t they turn out so cute?!!!
Lisa picked up a bunch of Mickey Mouse themed goodies from the dollar store.
So this next one is not technically decor, but it’s just a cute!
My nephew has an egg allergy so we couldn’t do a typical cake.
Instead we made cookies!
Well, I just took the pictures.
Lisa made the cookies.
She first dipped the oreos in red chocolate and let them cool.
 Then she used yellow chocolate to make a “V” on the wax paper.
Placed the big oreo on top and connected the small oreos using more yellow chocolate.
Back in the fridge to cool some more. 
They were quite tasty too!!
 We wanted the cookie with the candle to stand, so we just made a puddle of chocolate.  This was the only close up I took.
We decided to take the star candles out and give it ears.
“If you’ve got ears, say cheers!”
You can sort of see it here!
That’s it!!
Simple yet cute and fun!!

I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
