Sunday Social

Hello Fellow Pinners,
It's Stacy from Simpson's Superstars.  Today I'm stopping by to link up with a fun party that is hosted by Ashley from Ashley Lately.  Each week she asks 5-6 questions that are just random fun facts about yourself.  I love this idea so I'm jumping in with a Sunday Social post.

This week all of the questions are related to pinterest so I though this would be be the perfect place for my post.

Dental Health Month

Hi everyone!!

It's been a while since I have posted here and to be honest, I have been crazy busy with life and work that I have also neglected my little spot in the blogosphere.

I sure hope others can relate to the craziness teacher's call life.

I wanted to share some of my favorite pins for Dental Health month. In Kindergarten, we have really been focusing on what it means to keep our teeth healthy. Oftentimes, our kidlets don't have any exposure to proper dental hygiene anywhere else but school, so it is our jobs as teachers to make sure they know a little about it so they can stay healthy.

I would love for someone to come to our school to put on a presentation like the one done at Susan's, from Thank God It's First Grade, school. I will definitely be looking into it for next year, and if no one wants to come I will do something similar myself. The kids will love it.

Have a great week pinning friends.

Classroom Decor

This is my first post here on Endless Pinabilities, so first I want to say hello and thank Tanja for letting me share my Pinterest addiction in this space. I'm Heather, and I blog about my classroom and all things teaching over at The Wild Rumpus:

I'm an official Pinterest junkie, and this began last summer when I was looking for ideas to freshen up my classroom space.  I thought that I would share some of my favorite inspirational pins about classroom decor to kick off the New Year.  First, these globes just make me smile.  Even though the fire marshall would die if I ever did this, it reminded me that ambiance, both at home and in the classroom, is important:

Speaking of the fire marshall, this pin was super helpful and is pinned all over the place:

Next up, this organization and loveliness helped me to get the clutter out of the way.  Even though my space is not even close to this pretty, I still aspire:

This is something I've been dying to pull together as well.  Maybe I'll find the time soon:

This book club organization is pretty nice as well:

Next up, my door.  This pin inspired me to be a little more creative with my door decor.  I've had 2 different ones this year so far, and I'm ruminating upon what's next right now:

Finally, this pin led me down the path of a) my own classroom color scheme do-over and b) my obsession with Dollar Tree.  Oh, those baskets...

Here they are in my room:

I'm sure I'll find myself sucked into the black hole of new lovely classroom pins that make me want to do a complete re-do next summer, but for now, these are my faves! Thanks for looking.
