It's a Parrrrrrrrrtttaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! Back to School Time!!

So its a Back to School Pin Parrrrrrrrrrtaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
My name is Cindy! I am from All Things Teachery! Head on over and check me out and become a follower!

 I have been busy pinning things for weeks since I knew I would be teaching summer school starting July 23! I found some awesome great freebies too! Here are some things that I found!

Since my co-worker and I are still in limbo on where our classroom will be in the building we have not started any sort of decorating or getting ready! If we are in the room that we had last year its to small to do anything with! 

Christie over at Teaching in Flip Flops has been busy! She has made TONS of great freebies for download!!!

These are the cutest welcome signs ever!! My kids loved them!

LOVE, love these "What good readers do" Posters!

I have been using this in Summer School and it has worked wonderfully! And the kids LOVE to use highlighters too! It even works for Kinder's!

I have been dying to get an Erin Condren Planner. But since I have been off for 6 weeks. I can't justify the cost yet. I don't get paid through the summer since I am paid hourly for my Title 1 work. But I LOVE the one with the pictures on it! This is  a Life Planner but they also have an awesome teacher planner as well!!

This is Erica Bohrer's Birthday Board, I LOVE it!! It is simple and all you are doing is printing the month's of the year and the day of the month card. Take your pictures and Vola'!! You have this awesome birthday board!!

I am loving on these masterpieces made with melted crayons! This one, the person cut out the word hope in duct tape- melted the crayons then pulled off the duct tape!

OMG!!! I found the cutest DIY Tissue Paper Pom-Pom Table Signs today!!! Head on over for the tutorial!!

That's all for now!!

I'm Gonna Party Like It's Back to School 2012!!!

Hello Sweet Endless Pinabilities Friends!,

It's Lisa from Learning Is Something To Treasure & I'm here to share some fun and functional pins that I have found for Back to School time.

Did I seriously just say Back to School?!? I swear it was just yesterday I was saying farewell to my classroom and swapping my teacher wardrobe for shorts and flip flops! How fast time flies! :)
Here's a little humor to start us off before I get into the fun and the functional!

Too funny...I choose to convince myself of that!
Here are some fun back to school pins that I would like to share with you!:

How stinkin' cute is that?!?

Pinned from Deanna Jump
Since I have a pirate theme, my firsties will be making some pirates for our classroom display!

I love this activity to start off the school year:

Pinned via First Grade Factory
I fell in love with this pin when I saw it. What a great way to discuss classroom expectations & let the students be a part of it!

I thought that the following pin would be fun for the 1st day of school:

So...I made this one for the First Day of 1st Grade!!

The lovely little girl modeling it is my daughter! :)

I also do a friendship unit for the first week of school. I L-O-V-E these ideas:

This is for organizing sight words! I have organized mine like this for years & can vouch that it is a great way to organize your sight words. :)

Pinned from Deanna Jump

For those of you who are doing Common Core this year, I love this way of organizing & displaying the common core standards that you are teaching from none other than the famous Deanna Jump!!

I put together this Teacher Keeper that I purchased from Jessica Pollard. It includes absolutely everything you need to stay organized!

Here's a picture of mine that I put together:

I found this freebie that has everything you need to create your own substitute folder:

Pinned via Simply Kinder
And finally.... another great way to keep everything you need for the week at your fingertips:

Well that's about all that I have for today!! I wish everyone a great beginning to the school year!! Since I started with some humor, let me end with some humor. You have to love these ecards!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

BTS Pin Party for Middle School Teachers

I guess it's pretty appropriate for me to be part of this Pin Party today since I go back to school tomorrow!

I've been working all summer on things for my classroom...both content-related and just plain old fun and decorative stuff.

As a middle school teacher, our rooms don't always end up as cutesy as the elementary rooms, but we can still ROCK the classroom!


Here are some things I have pinned and plan to use in my first few days of school.

Back to School Pin PAR-TAY!

Howdy! It's Lorraine from Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies!

Are you ready to party? That's right! Endless Pinabilities is having a Back To School Pin Party!  Ready or not, it's time to start thinking about back to school!  Many of you don't start back until after Labor day but several of us start in August.  I happen to start in a couple of  weeks and to be honest I'm kinda excited to get in "back to school mode"!

Let's get this party started! The 1st pin has to be frog related since I am "the frog teacher".  This is on my 'to buy' list.  Who can have a successful year without an adorable frog coffee mug? Not me!

Here is a welcome kit I make all my students.  I like to give this to them on "Meet the Teacher" night a few days before the first day of school.

I look this door decor!  I am planning on doing the same thing on my door this year!  If you google it or look around pinterest there are several versions already made....why reinvent the wheel, right?

Before the year every starts every teacher needs to be organized and having a Teacher Organizational Tool like the one shown here is a must!

As a teacher I must suggest a Back to School treat for the teacher. LOL!  :)  I love this basket with all sorts of goodies!

Every classroom needs great bathroom passes (that DON'T travel to the bathroom with the student)!

I can go on and on with awesome Back To School Pins but I save some for the rest of the party! :)  I will end with this pin that someone pinned from my blog.  This is a fantastic list of 4th grade appropriate read alouds!

To end this post, I have to leave you with a funny!  I hope the language doesn't offend anyone, that is not my intent. However, I was having a bad day this past week and as I was "surfing" through Pinterest I came across this little guy and literally laughed out loud!

Hope you enjoyed my pins! Have a wonderful new school year!

Edu-Pinners Unite!

Are you an educator that likes to pin? Silly question I know, but there is a big pin party link up going on!
The wonderful Debbie Clement from Rainbows Within Reach is hosting this pintastic bash!

Whether you pin bulletin boards, math activities, Daily 5, or any other education related thing (and some non-education things, I'm sure are in the mix), you should link up! You may find new ideas from other teachers and gain some new followers. 

What's Cookin' Good Lookin' ? !

Hello Fellow Pinners, this is Stacy from Simpson's Superstars. Today I'm linking up with Susan from T.G.I.F.    for her very first linky party. Now I am NOT a great cook but I do love to bake.

When I saw this yummy treat on pinterest, I knew I had to try it.  I love banana bread and I love chocolate chips so what more could you ask for????  How about the fact that there are ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS.

No seriously, 4 things that you probably already have at home. Click here to get the recipe but all you need are the items pictured below, a loaf pan, an oven and 30-40 minutes.

Yes, that's my iPhone in the picture ~ that's how I read the recipe

I usually wait for my bananas to ripen more but I just couldn't wait to link up with this party.  I've made this bread several times.  It doesn't taste like the traditional banana bread but it is REALLY yummy.

Until next time, SHINE on everyone!
