August Pick 3 Pinterest Party

I'm linking up with Pawsitively Teaching and the Inspired Owl for this month’s Pinterest Pick 3 to give us some new ideas for back to school. Enjoy!

 I love this chair! There are also lots of other author’s chairs to find some inspiration. I’m headed to home depot now to pick out my paint… 

This will be a great idea to keep next to my computer not just for the kid’s passwords but for mine as well!  There are always so many passwords to keep track of and the colors will be helpful to find them easily.

The Toothpaste Squirt Lesson is a great back to school lesson on teaching children about choosing their words carefully and thinking about the impact it has on others. 

It reminds me very much of the wrinkled heart activity we did in our class. If you’d like to download the wrinkled heart poster- it’s free and will explain how it’s done.  

Join in the fun and have a great start to school.

In the beginning of the year, I love to create a memory book that starts in September and lasts through June.  When complete, children can go back and look at their work.  They will  see improvements in their handwriting, drawings, and more as the year progressed.  It also serves as a reminder as to what activities they enjoyed  each month.   Bind/staple it into a memory book that will be something that parents and children will cherish forever.  Great for all levels as there is paper with additional lines for older students.

I also have a thing about writing paper.  I love to have students publish their work on fancy paper- students seem to work extra hard making their best work shine!

There is paper for all grades and even for the writing program, Handwriting Without Tears.  Find the one that's right for you and grab some FREE writing paper at my store by clicking here!

If you're planning ahead and love to get a bargain, these are great for K-1:

Chalkboard Back To School SIgns

We’ve all seen those photographs of adorable children on the first day of school standing in their neatly pressed outfit holding the chalkboard sign with the words, First Day of School.  I’ve always wanted to do it for my students on the first and last day of school and as luck would have it, could never find those cute little chalkboards- (probably since everyone else bought them out!)

So, I created these for you to enjoy as an early ‘Back to School’  treat- they're FREE! 

Whether you’re a parent or teacher, it’s a wonderful keepsake.

YOU CHOOSE: There is a color and black and white version at my store. you can grab them here. There are signs for Preschool-Sixth Grade.

If you’re anything like me, slightly obsessed with the chalkboard décor look, you might want to check out Editable Chalkboard Décor for your classroom.  It has everything you need to set up a classroom with editable labels, word walls, signs, calendar items, and much more! Enjoy!

Father's Day Activities

Father’s Day is around the corner and every year, I wait till it’s closer to the date and always end up feeling rushed.  This year, I got an early start on our Father’s Day activities!

 If you’re interested in making these, you can grab them here.  There are 5 No Prep Activities (although the trophy does need a toilet paper roll!) to choose from and it allows the kids to write as little or as much as they want depending on their level.  There are also activities for uncles and grandpas for students who are making it for other male role models in their lives. Here are some of the activities we did:

We made trophies for our dads:

We created different acrostic poems:

Then, we created our dads:

 We wrote books about our dads and grandpas too!

I loved their responses:

Tomorrow we are off to make the coupon book!  

Get it here!

Enjoy your Father's Day!
