Gotta Love Pinterest! Here are My Favorite Pins!

Pinterest is probably the best thing since sliced bread!  (On a side note, isnt that saying hysterical... Ive always grown up with pre-sliced bread and never knew anything else, but its a saying we all still use today!) 

Views from Room 205 is having an awesome linky party... with her favorite pins!  I find it amazing that I hadnt seen any of her favorite pins before... and I think theyre all great! 


So... here are my top ten favorite pins on pinterest! The pictures will link you to the pinterest post, which will then send you to the blog of course!

How to Dye Clothespins!
I use clothespins for everything... so this is so exciting to me!


Practicing Writing Numbers!
Im definitely doing this next year!

Academic Jenga!
I just bought Jenga so I can do this with my class for addition and subtraction!

Punctuation People!
I have these free posters in the classroom... but next year I want to make the people that go along with them!



Managing Computer Passwords!
This is just genius!


I Spy Bottles!
I have been saving water bottles for this... I am ready to make so many of these!  Some with sight words, some with alphabet beads, and some with little trinkets (so the kids can sound out the trinkets they find!)  I am super excited for these!



How to Dye Rice!
Its been years since Ive done this, but Im going to need to do it for the I Spy Bottles!  Its nice to have a refresher!


"Galaxy" Playdough!
The kids love playdough!  We used it at the beginning of the year for alphabet formation, and Im going to be bringing it back soon to practice writing our sight words!  I think the kids would love to have glittery play dough... I hope it works!


Easter Egg Word Families!
The picture says it all... Why didnt I think of this before!?


Glitter Jar!
To help calm down students who are upset!  Shake it up, and the student has to watch the glitter fall before they can join the group again!



Im excited to see what else everyone will be posting as their pinterest favorites!!!

Favorite Phonics Songs

I have to say, my students just LOVE the phonics songs that are available on YouTube!  This year, I incorporated these songs into my daily teaching of sight words, and it has made a major difference!  Each time I introduce a new word, we watch the movie for the phonics songs that goes along with it and spend time seeing how the song applies to the word.  The students not only remember their current sight words better, but also use these rules to decode new words.  Its truly amazing every time I see one of my Kindergarten students sounding out words with super e, ee, ou, oo, ow, and aw!    It makes me so proud!

Click the picture below to see my favorite phonics songs in a "Glog."   The phonics songs are all embedded into the page, so its perfect for use in your classroom or for linking onto your class website!



Im linking this glog full of YouTube music videos up with Miss Nelson, Teaching Maddeness, Teaching with Z and Manic Monday!
