August Pick 3 Pinterest Party!

It's that time again...time to share our top 3 Pinterest Picks for August! 

This month I linked up with Inspired Owl's Corner and Pawsitively Teaching, and we will be focusing on things we plan to use in our classroom in August.  I had a hard time picking, I have pinned so many fun ideas over the summer!

My first pick is this super cute little Paper Bag Book!  It is a freebie, and I thought it would be perfect for the first week of school.  I usually do All About Me bags...I send home paper bags and they fill them with items that represent themselves, then share with the class.  I think this cute little book will be a fun twist on that old activity!  See the original pin here.

My next pick I am especially excited about!  I am a huge Erin Condren fan, and have had her teacher planners in the past.  This year I went a different direction though, and ordered a large teacher planner from Plum Paper Designs.  I can hardly wait for it to come in!  I know I will get tons of use out of this bad boy...I am a typical type A over planner, lol.  This isn't the design I ordered, but it sure is cute!  See the original pin here.

Last but not least, I pinned this packet from Abby Mullins, over at The Inspired Apple.

It has the cutest activities for the first week of school.  I love the Jitter Juice pages and Find a Friend pages.  There is also lots of great activities to go with popular first week of school books.  I can't wait to use it!  See the original pin here.

What are your favorite pins from this month?  What will you be using at school during August?  Link up with us and share!

July Pick 3 Pinterest Party!

Can you believe it's already July 3rd?!  I feel like summer is just flying by!  My teacher brain is sloooowly starting to wake up.  I'm not quite to the point of planning anything, but I have at least started pinning ideas for next year.  Speaking of pinning...

I am linking up today with Lisa from PAWSITIVELY TEACHING and Marissa from INSPIRED OWL'S CORNER to share our top Pinterest picks for the month!

Ya'll.  I have to confess...I am the WORST when it comes to hanging border for bulletin boards.  I'm super type A and want it all straight and perfect, but I am TERRIBLE at it.  It takes me forever to get it straight.  My first pin just blew me away...

This is a game changer, friends.  Did you know there is a leveler app?!?  Am I just super late to the party?  Either way, I'm all sorts of excited about this.  I'm hoping it will make decorating my classroom for this year much easier (and less frustrating).  See the original pin here.

You all know how the first week of school goes.  It's all about rules, routines, and learning to function as a community.  I found this anchor chart from My Silly Firsties on Pinterest and just fell in love.  How cute is this??

I'm all about teaching my little friends to solve problems independently.  You can see the original pin here, and I would definitely recommend checking out her blog post.  Tons of cute anchor charts for the beginning of the year!

My last pin is less fun, but super necessary.  I did a little Pinterest research last night because the hubs and I decided it was time to start the dreaded diet (womp, womp).   It's coming up on time for our son to start fall baseball and it's important that he trim down and get his body ready, so we figured this would be a good opportunity for all of us to eat healthier and drop a little...ahem...fluff.  I have much excess fluff, I admit it.  Girl likes to eat.  Anyhoo, here is my last pin:

Some of those look kind of yummy, no?  Humor me....I'm trying not to think about spaghetti.  Oh carbs, I do so miss thee!  The original pin is here.

Well, that's it!  I hope you're pinning tons of fun stuff this summer!  Head on over to PAWSITIVELY TEACHING or INSPIRED OWL'S CORNER if you would like to link up and share your top three pins!
