Pinterest

I LOVE Pinterest! I use this website DAILY!! I have found so many ideas for lessons through this site! I have always loved being creative, and at first I was thrilled to discover Pinterest! For a while I thought I was not creative anymore, because I was simply doing everything off Pinterest..then I realized I do alter the ideas, or I create my own based off of things I have seen on Pinterest. I am teaching a workshop this Saturday at an Early Childhood conference about Pinterest in the Classroom. I was finalizing my handout, when I wen to log in and saw that they are changing the site. GRR!! It is basic changes, and I have not had to change much in my handout, however, I hope everyone has the option to change early so it's easy for others to follow! Oh well!! Everything happens for a reason :)

Trying

I am going to try my hardest to keep this blog up and going!! I am excited to dive in and provide some of my lessons I do with my kiddos! I am VERY fortunate to live in a college town that provides FREE field trips for my kids to attend!!! Such a blessing! I believe field trips are a great way to have experiences some kids never will have. Lately we have went to the art museum, planetarium, a farm festival, and we regularly visit a local nursing home to see our "grand friends". These experiences are helping my kids be well rounded, and have many experiences in their young lives!!
