Favorite Pins Friday!

Hey Y'all!

I'm back again with another Favorite Pins Friday.  Here are some of my favorite pins from this week!

Isn't this small group area just lovely?  I love how everything is neat and has a place.  I've been searching {and tried} for a TON of different ways to organize my small group materials.  I actually have a lot of the same things this classroom does.  For example, I have a leaf, those same stools, a similar pen/marker caddy, and bins for each small group.  Unfortunately, I have no idea where this picture came from since it links to a window and not a blog :(  If you can help find the source, please let me know as I would love to read more about what all she has on her shelves.

Oh.My.Goodness!  This has got to be one of the best guided math websites I have ever found.  Cobb County Schools in Georgia has got it going on.  This links to a 'blog' type of website that has all sorts of information about what guided math is and resources to use.  I don't teach math anymore, but if I did, this would be my go-to place!  I also have some pretty good 'stuff' myself!  You can read it here.

Isn't this the cutest idea... ever?  As my 5th graders are reading, I am always trying to get them to be mindful of figurative language.  This is an awesome way to have them be mindful, but I could also see this as getting out of hand.  Where would all those post-its go?  I teach two classes, and I'm not sure what we would do with them all.  Any suggestions?  I could type them up every Friday and pass out for their notebooks on the following Monday.  That would work and it would also give me a time to proof read them to make sure they are correct.  I am definitely using this idea this year, so look for my printable this summer!  {BTW- I also like the point club clip system for AR.}

I like this because it's just so cute!  This is something I have tried in the past, but I hasn't worked for me... yet!  There are a ton of ideas on this teacher's blog.

This is a good resource for all you writing teachers out there.  This homeschooling mama shares what she does for her 2nd grade son's writing notebook.  She also has several free resources you can download and print.  This isn't something I will use right now, but maybe later :)

Have Fun Pinning!
