Internet Inspired Ideas

I've been walking down memory lane as I look at some photos from last school year. I love searching the web for new ideas to use in my classroom.  I have been so inspired by the wonderful teacher websites and blogs out there. Many times, though, I can never remember where I saw all these cute ideas. However, my newest obsession (Pinterest!) helps me keep track of great ideas and their sources. Here's a few of my favorite internet inspired ideas...

Noun Town - Inspiration came from First Grader at Last blog



R Control Posters - another idea inspired by First Grader at Last blog. She drew the pictures for her posters but I'm not as talented an artist as she is. I cheated and used clip art instead :).



How To Blow a Bubble Art and Writing Activity - They had so much fun doing this project!!!




Grammar Garden Sign


Example of Grammar Garden Project - incorporated use of noun, verbs, and adjectives



Funny Faces Plants - idea from The Teacher Wife blog...her blog even includes a download of the face parts



Lincoln and Washington Art and Writing Projects - Inspired by First Grade Parade Blog


Viola Swamp Art & Writing Activity - We just did this one! I recently saw the TLC art project on Pinterest and incorporated a venn diagram and writing activity with it.

  1. I love the Ms. Swamp activity! TOO cute! I did something like this with my kids last year, but this is so much more! I even programmed a Ms. Swamp in my phone to show the kids I could call her if I needed to!
    Love your blog!
