New Pinterest Book Finds

I thought I would share some of the wonderful new (to me) books that I found on Pinterest.
 I have even made it EASY - you can order them right from here!

What other good books should I add to my list?

Bulletin Boards Galore!

A big HOWDY from Lorraine at Fabulous 4th Grade Froggies!  A lot of us are already thinking about going back school!  I thought I would pin some fun bulletin boards to get our creative juices flowing :)

I am definitely doing this first pin(When you....) on my door this year! And the second (Peace makers/breakers) on the back of my door.

Teachery Things!

This week I am finally back into school mode. Summer School starts July 23rd!! We are doing a math workshop format in our classrooms! So I have been on the hunt for math games for my Kinders & Firsties! Here are some of the things that I found!

Game: Coverall (Dice Game) This can be done with addition or multiplication!

Math Spiders is also another great game for addition or subtraction! 

Beat you to 20 (I Changed it to 30)

I found these at Target the other day and will be making them this weekend! 

Who Am I? Class Book Freebie

I love making lots of class books during the school year. One of my favorites is called Who Am I? I got this idea from this pin from April's blog, Chalk Talk.

When I saw April's idea last year, I knew I had to make this book with my kindergarten class. It came out really cute and was read over and over again. When you put the children's work in page protectors, make sure to put their self portrait in the same page protector as their writing, back to back. That way, when they are reading it, first they read the writing, then they guess who it may be, then they turn the page to confirm. I always put my class books in 1/2 inch binders and stick the pretty cover in the clear view front pocket. If you would like to make this class book, just click on the image below.

I wish I had some pictures to share with you, but I made this book before I started blogging and it's packed away at school. You can see some cute pictures on April's blog, though. Thanks, April, for allowing me to share this book with everyone!

Pinterest: Taking you from Type A to Type A+

Hello!  I'm Megan from I Teach. What's Your Super Power?, and I'm back again.  This post is dedicated to all my type A friends.  If you're looking for some crazy organizational stuff, Pinterest is your new bestest friend.  Let's get started with a laugh at ourselves, shall we?

So, I'm slightly type A.  Anyone that knows me is now laughing hysterically.  Stop it!  I can't help it.  I've gotten some great ideas from Pinterest to encourage my sickness genius. 

If you're type A, get off this website.  Order a Silhouette and some sheets of vinyl.  Begin labeling everything you own.

Organized laundry.  Did your heart speed up a little bit when you read that?  I've seen where people used these to presort their laundry or label with a person's name and put the clean laundry in the bin.  Whatever.  It will make your laundry life better.

Oh my gosh.  How happy would you feel if every time you opened the refrigerator you saw this?  It will be mine.

I reorganized my kitchen this summer.  I think I used at least five of these things.  Plastic awesomeness. What else would you expect from the Container Store?

Cord organization.  Oh yes.  I know just the computer desk this will be happening to.

Not an obvious choice to others, but us OCD people know how frustrating it is to get your rug just right and then have that stupid rug pad hanging out ruining everything.

Straight desks.  Must have straight desks.

Going to a Party...

I just got invited to a T.G.I.F Party this Friday. The invite said there was no reason, but to bring a chair and a snack to share. So of course I had to hop on to Pinterest to find a yummy snack to bring! Plus I want it to be somewhat healthy because I'm eating healthier and that friend is supposed to be too lol.

I'm going to make that cake batter dip and I bought all the stuff today and I also got graham crackers and chocolate animal crackers to bring to dip in it.
