Favorite Pins Friday

I'm linking up with The First Grade Parade today to share in "Favorite Pins Friday."

Here's how it works.  Pin throughout the week {I know I'm not alone when I say- "well that's not difficult"} and highlight your favorites every Friday.

 The only rule:  please make sure to link back to the ORIGINAL poster and not to Pinterest :)  Because let's be real....Pinterest is NOT a person!!!  Please and thank you so much!

 

Here are my *favorites* from the week...

 

CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION

I just LOVE Marisa's organization {from First Grade Glitter & Giggles}.

Look at all of her read alouds organized and all of her manipulatives and craft supplies!
I heart this pin!

 

 

We all have indoor recesses due to inclement weather. This is a great way to organize and keep doodle sheets, coloring books etc. organized.

Brilliant find Fancy Frugal Life!

 

I love "non-traditional" classroom décor. I really try to make my classroom feel like a home (or at least an extension of a home). I think that's why I like the look of this classroom board so much. These frames are now white boards. How cute!?!

 

MY "MUST DO" CLASSROOM IDEAS

 

I adore this "show what you know" book for Science or Social Studies.

I used paper bags for memory books at the end of the year.... But this is another great use for them :)

 

This is a great listening/visual arts activity! I love how the instructions are the same, yet each student creates something different :) This one's a keeper! Thanks to The Artful Parent for this great idea!

 

Don't forget to checkout and share your favorites with Carol and others {HERE}.

On another note, Christine and I have been working hard together to get ready for September. It is truly a way for us to relax (believe it or not), as well as reflect and spend time together. Each time we meet we enjoy a coffee, tea, or wine, great conversation and lots of laughs. We LOVE what we do and truly consider it a hobby (for those of you who have asked "It's summer, why are you working on school stuff?")

 

We are planning a giveaway for our new Monday to Monday Pack that we have used every year. It's looking great! We have added some new reading cards, new parent forms & a new home/school communication tool, in our new bundle. Check back soon and enter to win one for free :)
