Favorite Pins Friday

Hey, Hey!  Unfortunately, another Friday is here which means we are one week closer to going back to work :(  On the upside, it's time for another Favorite Pins Friday!

 This week, I've been pinning a lot of personal things for my family.  My son's 5th birthday is next month, and our family pictures are in September.  I've been preparing for these fun events:)

First up is a great blog post about how improve student's writing.  Sorry, but I don't think the particular picture goes with the 'beef' of this post.  She has 5 great tips that make a lot of sense about writing in your classroom.

This is going to be the color scheme (and my outfit) for our family photos in September.  I'm thinking about finding a mustard shirt for the hubs and maybe two different gray shirts for the boys.  I LOVE this color scheme!

This is the cutest idea ever!  I'm thinking about doing this with the teachers at my school.  It's a Christmas sock exchange with goodies inside the socks.  It's different, unique, and I love it!

This is a simple tutorial about how to create chair pockets for your classroom. So cute!

Have you checked out Leslie from Life in Fifth Grade?  She has a lot of great ideas on her blog.  One of her most recents is this text evidence bulletin board which would be great for any classroom.  I like this because it gives students a type of formula to use when supporting their work from evidence from the text and citing their support.

That's all this week.  Summer is quickly fading away, and I don't feel like I have accomplished very much this summer.  I have enjoyed spending the days with my sweet boys.
