PINTEREST!!!

Okay, I had to blog again today because I LOVE pinterest and Michelle's Math in the Middle and Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes are both hosting a pinterest linky party!


Tales of Frogs and Cupcakes

I have found so many great ideas for my classroom on pinterest!  You can see some of the ideas related to my classroom theme in my previous blog post. 

I loved this idea of displaying student work that I found!  It is from http://ana-white.com/2010/11/ruler-clip-art-rails.html.
I made my own but changed it a bit!  I painted the yardstick as well as the clothespins just to make it more colorful!  It is hanging in the hallway outside of my classroom!  I'll take a photo to upload next time I'm there!



Another idea I was quite fond of is this "I'm Done" jar from http://www.teachingblogaddict.com/2011/04/im-done-jar.html!  you can fill it with popsicle sticks listing a variety of activities for those early finishers!
I made my own version of this too with school colors, but guess what...it's at school too so no picture yet!



And the next thing I want to make is this project from http://theinspiredapple.blogspot.com/2011/02/teacher-on-target.html to hold smarties (of course) as rewards for my kiddos!  I just need to find someone with an old pair of baby/toddler jeans!


I absolutely love pinterest!  If anyone needs an invite leave me your email address in a comment and I'll invite you!  You'll be hooked!
