Warm Up to a Good Book!

It is SOOOO cold here in Maryland.  I see that many of us are dealing with below freezing temperatures.  My Christmas vacation ended on Monday and I returned to work for one full day.  Tuesday, school was closed due to snow.  Wednesday and today I had two hour delays due to snow and below freezing temperatures.  My students and I are trying our best to maintain some type of schedule at school, but we sneaked in 20 minutes to decorate our classroom door. 

On Tuesday, I participated in the Pinterest Pin 3 linky.  I posted a picture of a bulletin board titled “Warm Up to a Good Book”.  I have just been waiting for the weather to get cold so that I could duplicate that board for several months. 

Here are classroom door!  What do you think?

 

This is a list of the items I used to decorate our door.

 

This is the pin that I found on Pinterest.  Unfortunately, it is a dead link.  I would like to give credit to the teacher who thought of and posted this picture! 

Is your classroom door decorated?  I would love to know what you have on it.  Please leave me a comment and let me know.  I am always looking for good ideas!

I will be back soon to share how my students and I have been working on prepositions in our classroom.  If you want a sneak peek…. HERE are some of the resources I used.

If you missed my post that included my FREE fractions center task cards you can find them HERE.

I am trying my best to keep my promise to blog regularly.  I am truly thankful to you for stopping by today!

Pinterest Pick 3

Hello!  Here in Maryland, I am home relaxing on my first SNOW DAY of this school year.  I decided to catch up on reading and commenting on some of the blogs I follow. 

I came across a linky being hosted by Inspired Owl’s Corner and PAWSitively Teaching.  It is called Pinterest Pick 3.  I went through the blogs that are participating in the linky and have found some fabulous pins that I can’t wait to try out in my classroom.

 

Below you can find my Pinterest Pick 3.

 

 

This one is only a picture, but it is simple enough to complete without directions.  I know my students will enjoy working on this cute yet simple craft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been using this system in my classroom since late September and I must admit I have seen some improvement in the way my students “check” their work.  Occasionally we need to review our chart, but overall I am very happy that I found this blog post.

This one is only a picture, too.  I plan to place this one on my classroom door this week.  I will post a picture of the door when it is complete.
