June Pick 3 Pinterest Party Linky

-

I'm linking up with my friend Marissa at The Inspired Owl for today's Pick 3 Pinterest Party Linky.  It's a monthly linky we do on the third of each month to share a little "pinspiration" with you.  Check out the cute little pins I found this week!


My first pin is a VERY creative idea that I would love to try.  I was just thinking earlier today (as I was working on that aforementioned office overhaul) that I needed something with knobs to mount to the wall to hang my Thirty-One bags from.  I guess now I will have to be on the lookout for a slender drawer that will be sturdy enough for them!

My second pin was a little motivational thought I ran across today.  I've been reflecting on my fitness and personal goals lately, and this one really spoke to me.  When you want something bad enough, you make it happen.  You find a way to make it happen, no matter what obstacles may fall into your path...but you have to want it with every fiber of your being.  I hope this one motivates you too the way it did me!  I'm definitely a collector of quotes and inspirational thoughts.

Last, but not least, I found a math game I want to use with my students this coming year.  I just finished a week of OGAP training last week, so I have tons of multiplicative ideas rolling around in my head.  Now I'm just brainstorming how to combine this fun game with story problems...

That's my pinspiration for June...if you want to pin with me every day, follow me here!

Now stop by to check out all my blogger friends' finds too...

    Hi, I found you through the linking. That re-purposed drawer is so pretty! What a great new use for something old. I could totally use one of those in my closet for jewelry. Thanks for sharing.

      Thanks, Kayla! I have been so busy these last few weeks that I haven't even gotten to check out everyone's links. I feel so bad that I'm just now replying to blog comments. I fell in love with that drawer...I guess I'm going to have to try to make some "me time" to start scouring the local thrift stores.

TpT Seller Challenge: Week 1: Makeover Madness

I'm really excited to accept the TpT Seller Challenge hosted by the fabulous ladies at Third in Hollywood , Teach Create Motivate , Peppy Zesty Teacherista , and Sparkling in Second .  Sometimes being a seller can be difficult to balance with our other life roles, so we're taking on one task at a time ...together.  The "pre-task" was collecting our social media stats .  This week was so busy that I noted mine on Tuesday morning, but I got distracted and didn't post them to Instagram until today!  So here's where I'm beginning ... This week is the official first week of the challenge , and this week's task was a Makeover Madness challenge.  We were supposed to take an existing product in our stores and give it a little "face lift."  We were free to design and re-design however we wanted, as long as we shared/blogged about our "before and after" and shared it with the other challengers. I took on my product " How to

#2getherwearebetter: My Home Office

I must begin this post by reminding myself of that ever-meaningful adage, "Comparison is the thief of joy."  When I look at all the other amazingly cute work spaces, so pristine and color-coordinated , I feel so disorganized and (honestly) a little jelly at how appealing my peers' work areas are. So I must remind myself that my home office space is a work in progress (and for that matter, I am too)!  Literally...I'm in the middle of an office overhaul right now. That's one of my major summer projects. But here's my work so far... (I will not compare myself to others, I will not compare myself to others, I will not compare myself to others...LOL!) So here's a sneak peek into my current situation ... The main attraction is my new desk area, created by two filing cabinets and a wooden door.  I wish I had taken a "before" pic of the monstrosity of a desk that was there before.  I had had it since I was a teenager, so it had a go

Back to School Linky: Behavior Management

I'm really excited to participate in the Back to School Linky with Miss V's Busy Bees and Mrs. D's Corner.  This week's posts are focused on behavior management. Let's start with my philosophy on behavior management...I believe behavior management is strongly rooted in classroom procedures.  When there are clear expectations and those expectations are clearly articulated to your students, behavior management takes care of itself. A friend and co-teacher of mine has taken me on as her mentor project, so to speak.  She lent me some of her materials from Harry Wong, THE behavior and classroom management guru.  One of those items she lent me was an audio book .  One of the comments that Mr. Wong made in that audio really made me rethink my entire behavior plan in my classroom.  He clearly explained the difference between rules and procedures .  We shouldn't be overly focused on rules, per se, and we should only have 5 real rules at the most.  (I've inclu
