Favorite Pins Sunday (oops) and a Giveaway!

I meant to do this on Friday, but...having a holiday in the middle of the week makes things TONS of fun! No time for working...just playing! :) I hope you had a great 4th of July.

I am linking up with The First Grade Parade to share my favorite pins from the past week.

Come follow me on pinterest!

Alright, so here we go...

School related pins:

Remind101 is an app that you can you to send out a group text to your parents- you can even schedule future texts! What a great way to easily send reminders out!

Rachelle at Life is Sweet...In Kindergarten had a great blog post about back to school and meet the teacher! I loved this little idea with the clothespin and dismissal! Genius!

Life pins:

I love to-do lists...this idea from Corn Flower Blue Studio looked like something I must do!

                   

I loved these two ideas from Epbot and Real Simple, they were just what I need! Living in South Florida I feel like I have an abundance of flip flops and sandals and I just never know how to store them. I'll let you imagine the bobby pin situation in my cosmetic drawer...not pretty! :/

This recipe looked so yummy and summer-y! The Blonde Ponytail has lots of great tips on her blog! 

Check her out!!

I pinned this someecard right after I pinned this from Fashion Worship...

Don't forget that today is the last day for Rachelle's Giveaway! Head on over and enter your chance to win lots of goodies from lots of talented ladies!

Have a great Sunday! 

Plants and Earth Day...a Giveaway Too!

This week is FCAT testing for grades 3-5, so there are lots of schedule changes this week...which is great because I have extra time with my little friends to do some extra fun activities!

We are loving studying plants. We have learned all about flowers and the parts of a flower.  We finished up our models of a flower yesterday and started learning that trees are a kind of plant too. It is perfect timing for Earth Day! We read lots of nonfiction books about trees today and tomorrow we are going on a tree walk and will do a leaf rubbing! Maybe we will even get to do a fun painting activity to learn about the parts of a tree...we will see how much time we have! :)

We have been reading all about taking care of our Earth for Earth Day. The kids have so many questions, especially about recycling. I even had to look up the answers to three of their questions today! I love how curious they are...at least I know they are listening! Yay!

During ELA centers we are having fun with Earth Day too!

The kids will be responsible for making this little craftivity at the writing center tomorrow too! I showed them an example today and they came up with amazing ideas! 

Oh my I almost forgot...how could I forget the BEST part...I am so excited to help Regina at Kinder Krazy celebrate 100 followers! Yay!! Head on over to her blog and join her giveaway...you could win so many great prizes from lots of talented teachers! 

I hope that you are having a fantastic week!
