I Saw It On Pinterest Linky!

I love Pinterest!  It really has changed how I'm doing a lot of my teaching and my husband says it's the best thing that happened for our kitchen.  So when I saw that Amber at Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher was hosing a "I saw it on Pinterest" Link party I had to join ASAP!  Head on Over to her Blog if you want to join up.

Now for my favorite Pinterest things...this was hard.

I could probably start a brand new blog on all the food I want to make but this is my new favorite thing that I haven't made yet!

These drinks will be delicious to drink on my deck with my fellow teacher friends.

I really want o better utilize my Reading notebooks for my kids next year.  Along with their social studies, grammar, and writing.  I have a lot of ideas that I found on Pinterest now I just need to pick and choose to figure out what works best for me.  I actually think this weekend I am going to start a new Note booking Pinboard.

 I also REALLY need to get more organized in my classroom.  Teaching reading to two different groups of kids has been an organization nightmare.  I really need some help!

I would also like to get more conference time in with my kids during writing.

Summer Bucket List Link Party

Teri, at A Cupcake for Teacher is having a Summer Bucket List Link party.  Since I love her blog so, so, so much I just had to join.
1.  This one is kind of for my husband but it's to take him snorkeling.  We are going on a 2nd honeymoon and due to a tropical storm on our first one he never got to go!

2.  Get some decorating done.  I have had a few picture projects that I have wanted to get done since we moved into our house in October and they will finally get accomplished over the summer!!

3.  READ, READ, READ!!  I've had a gift card for my Kindle burning a hole in my pocket since Christmas and I can't wait to spend it and read.

4.  I guess I should list some teacher stuff huh!?  I really want to work on organization of my classroom this summer.  I had issues all year with keeping two sets of classes organized.

6.  Finally, I want to COOK all the yummy stuff I have been pinning on Pinterest.
