Pinterest...best thing since...Stumble Upon

Okay, so, as a teacher I am ALWAYS looking for new ideas. Problem is, I never remember them! Lucky for me I received an invite to join Pinterest.com. Never again will I have to worry about forgetting those super great ideas. Why? Check this out!

The idea...if you see something you like, Pin It. Once you have pinned it you can place it into any category your heart desires. Then, when you want to go back to it just pull up your homescreen and take a look. So easy! Pinterest even lets you write a description for your pinned pictures. It gets even better...you can look through pictures that other people have pinned, giving you even more opportunity to find even more great ideas!

Combine Pinterest with Stumble Upon and you end up with the perfect opportunity to not only find some really exciting new ideas, but the chance to actually remember them down the road. (This site is seriously an organizers dream as far as web searching goes!)

If you are interested head on over to www.pinterest.com , it may take a bit to receive your invite, but once you are invited it is very easy to set up!

For those of you who do not know what Stumble Upon is, well, it is basically a web browsing service that takes a survey of your interests and the provides an endless supply of websites that you might be interested in based on the answers to the survey. It is fun to click the stumble upon button and see what comes up next:)!

Have fun exploring the WWW, friends!

Awesome Ideas:)!

Hey friends! I have been exploring some great blogs this morning and came acorss "Kindergarten Crayons". She has so many great ideas to share! Visit her page at



I especially like all of her Pete the Cat activities. I will be incorporating those into my workshops this year for sure! First grade friends, those might be really awesome review activities for the first few weeks of school. Enjoy!

Some people just bring a special energy!

So, in my browsing today I came across the TeacherTipster. And I was addicted. I have now explored his website, youtube channel, facebook page, and shop. I can honestly say that he has inspired me to get more creative and use more songs in my classroom. I love the energy that he brings in his videos, and I cannot wait for him to share more videos once school gets started.

My favorite two things from his site: Chart Folders for after students finish their work and using a digital camera to scroll sight words for students to practice during down time. Both are seemingly maintenance free ideas that provide structure for students in times when structure is essential!

Check out his site:)!
