Well, summer has finally arrived. After a long (yet enjoyable, of course) school year, I was ready for a break. Throughout the year, most of my friends at school & on facebook have been talking about Pinterest. To me, it sounded quite addicting ... so I decided to wait until summer to sign-up. What was I most interested in? - things for school, of course!
What did I find? - a bunch of junk! Ok, maybe it's not all junk. There are lots of ideas from classroom teachers that I can adapt to my liking (story of my life). There are links to fun websites (but let's be honest, does the content ever really match-up?). There links to websites with printables (Ok, yes, free printables are nice, but I'm not really into wasting trees & I don't think my kiddos want to spend their precious Spanish time doing worksheets). Finally, I found one link to a cute little project for Spanish class. One!?! I need more... and I can't be the only one, can I? So, I'm going to do what I wish other teachers like me would do -- I'm going to share!
Today was day one. Three hours later, I've added 3 Thinking Maps and 1 game. Ok, ok, it may not be much, but it's a start! I'll have to add more stuff later (after all, it IS summer... I don't want to work too hard) and even more when I get back to school in fall. What? You think I'm going to go in now? You don't know me very well...
So, if you're not too impressed today, too bad. I hope that this will be useful to SOMEONE out there. & if not today... someday...
