Inspiring


Today I'm joining The First Grade Parade to share some of my favorite pins.  I hope you find them worth sharing too.


Crisscross Applesauce in First Grade
Celebrating with writers is so very important.  I fell in love with this certificate so much so that I created my own versions for all the other units of study that I do with my writers.  


Mrs. Lee's Kindergarten
I could never visualize an easy way to make a pie chart with first graders until I found this pin.  Brilliant!


Kindergarten Crayons
Listening to the author of Pete the Cat read/sing his story is the icing on the cake.  The kids love this.

The Elementary Math Maniac
Believe it or not, this pin comes right from a math lesson.  It's the kind of math I'd love to do more of - a task that's highly engaging, based on problem solving, teaches various concepts, is easy to differentiate, and can last more than one day.  Inspiring.

Welcome to First Grade Room 5
I love classroom books.  My kids do too.  This is one I really need to make.  I've a feeling my kids would read it over and over.


Hooray for inspiring ideas!

    What a great way to do a pie graph! I have seen that all about the teacher pin before and have wanted to do that. Maybe I will get that done this year. The kids would love it!

      Lori, I really need to make that book about me too. I'm sure it would be a popular read.

    Hi Tammy,
    Thanks for sharing my pin! It is definitely one of my favorite math lessons of all time. I have done it with kids from K-6 in various forms and it always super engaging, gets kids excited about math and really helps kids learn about compare problems!

      Tara, I'm glad I was able to share your wonderful ideas with others. We need more math lessons like that in our classrooms.

    I just love the Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes video! We will definitely be watching that this year.
