I have found another new obsession! It is called Pinterest. As a blogger this is a wonderful tool! I have been looking for a way to catalog all of the great ideas that I find on blogs and found it with Pinterest!
Basically you see a picture you like on a blog and you "pin" it. From there you have to select where it goes. For example, I find a really cute literacy work station...I will put it in the lit station file. Then, when I am planning for lit stations I just open up that pin board and voila...tons of great ideas. What is really great about Pinterest is that it saves the site you found the picture.
Here's the thing with Pinterest...it is by invite only. If you would like an invite let me know with a comment that includes your email address! I will be happy to invite you to check it out! I can also pin with my Ipad which is super cool! Happy Pinning!
Oh, and don't forget about my 100 followers giveaway with Mrs. Patton! Check it out HERE!

Google Chrome
I'll start my saying that I hate change! HATE IT! Awhile ago my hubby mentioned that I should switch from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome. I said no. He said yes and put on my computer anyway. That same day he patiently showed me all of the great things I can do with it and I LOVE IT!
If you use blogger, gmail, or Google reader, you should totally check it out. Even if you don't use any of those things, you should probably check it out! Click on the link below! It is a free download and well worth the effort! I put it on my school computer too (even though we are not supposed to do that).
OH! And don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY with Patton's Patch!

Summer School
It has been far too long since I have blogged and now I have a dilemma!
I just got a call from one of the schools in my district asking me to teach summer school...starting next week! They are desperate! So, I will be teaching first graders who are going into second grade for 8 days. Only 8 days! 2.5 hours a day! I am a kindergarten teacher so this will be a little out of my comfort zone.
I'm thinking about doing a beach/ocean theme since its summer and I love the beach but I need help. What should my day look like? How can I do minimal planning that will get maximum results?!? How I get these kiddos into a semi routine in 8 days? By the way...I do not know any of these kids reading levels yet. I am a planner so this is out of my realm! I need help blogger buddies!
Please leave me comments with some great ideas!
On another note, I am at 99 followers! One more follower and there will be a super sweet giveaway!!
