Instagram and New Resources for you!

OMG! May is just flying by! I am ready for summer break but we have a couple more weeks of school before we are finished for the year. I have tons of fun activities planned for the next couple weeks and can't wait to share them!

I have been busy, busy, busy! I have created three resources that I think that you're loves will really enjoy! The first one is this little beauty....

 
I created these for my students as a fun little way for them to create a keepsake of their classmates. One of my coworkers saw it and said that they would be cute for all the grades so I got to work doing just that! This resource is great because it can be used year after year, no matter what grade you teach! I created two versions for each grade level from kindergarten to fifth grade and I can't wait to hear what the kiddos think!
 
I also created this
 
and this one too...
 
 
The Plant and Flower books work really well together and can be used to differentiate for the life cycle of a plant. I am also going to be making one more student created book on what plants need to go along with these books and the unit lessons.
 
I am so excited becuase I feel like I was having a real block on creativity! 
 
Now, I am creating up a storm (while procrastinating on packing up my room)!
 
I have also been really enjoying Instagram! 

Have you seen this?
 
 
I am having so much fun on Instagram! It is just another awesome way to share great ideas and all the wonderful things that are going on in our classrooms! If you haven't checked it out, you MUST! I also love that Instagram will post to my Facebook page as well! Totally awesome!!
