Alphabet Letter Exchange

Our class will be linking up with Crissy at First Grade Found Me for the Alphabet Letter Exchange (AKA: Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom Alphabet Letter Exchange) this year! Our students love this book every year and this is a wonderful way to add to our Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom activities! We hope you all link up and share in the Alphabet Exchange fun with us!

Favorite Pins Friday!

I'm linking up with another wonderful and inspiring blogger, Cara with The First Grade Parade for her new linky party. . .

Like MANY of us, Pinterest has become part of our daily life! It is where we go to get not only teaching ideas but ideas for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! I confess. . . I spend WAY too much time of Pinterest.

Here are just a FEW of our Favorite Pins from this past week!

Teaching Pins:

What a wonderful idea! Home-Made Paint containers! Why didn't I think of this??

 

 

 

A Day in First Grade with Kristen Smith has a "Grab and Go Language Worksheets" unit that is definitely on my list to purchase!

 

 

The Primary Gal has a "K-3 IEP & RTI Progress Monitoring Collection" that looks faboulous. Anything to help make the RTI Process easier, RIGHT! "Each of these progress monitoring data collection pages have goals that are pre-written to align with the Common Core Standards and fit perfectly into your IEPs. These are excellent resources to allow for quick and easy progress monitoring of RTI or IEP goals."



 

 Pins For My Kids:

Gigantic Long-Lasting Bubbles! My 8 year old daughter and 3 (Almost 4) year old LOVE Bubbles! We are so going to try this just as soon as it STOPS RAINING long enough for us to go outside!

 

 

Indoor Ball Pit!

 

Trampoline Safety: Cover your trampoline springs with pool noodles. Brilliant Idea!

 

 

Pins Just for Me:

ORGANIZATION is my sanity (LOL)! The more I am organized the less my ADD/OCD bothers me! Follow these rules on where to place items within your fridge: | 27 Ways To Make Your Groceries Last As Long As Possible

 

 



I am loving this Linky! Thanks Cara for getting this started! I'm looking forward to many more Fridays and Favorite Pins!

 



 

A few of our App-Solutely Most Favorite Apps

What are your App-Solutely most favorite apps to use in your classroom? We have came up with our TOP 5 apps for both Teachers and Students. See below! It was pretty difficult coming up with just 5!

 

  

 

1. Dropbox: We use Dropbox on a daily basis in Kindergarten. This is a very easy and quick way to share items within your grade level and even school wide. We have a shared "Kindergarten Folder"! Free

2. Pinterest: By now almost everyone as at least heard of Pinterest (I think anyway)! Use this app with caution: It is extremely addictive! This app and website is our go-to resource for ideas. Free

3. QuickGrader: We use this app very often for grading various projects, test, etc. There is a Free Version.

4. Google Translate: We work at a school that is probably 80 - 85% Hispanic if not more so this app comes in very handy at times. You are able to type what you need translated or speak it. Free

5. BlogLovin: This one has to be my current App-Solutely Favorite app. This app allows to follow all your favorite blogs and discover new ones. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this app. Free





1. These are 3 different apps from THUP Games.
*Monkey PreSchool Lunchbox - $0.99
*Monkey Word School Adventure - $1.99
*Monkey Math School Sunshine - $1.99

2. Pocket Chart Pro: This app has several different "pocket chart" activities that a student can do. (From Letters, Sounds, Numbers, Shapes, etc.) $4.99

3. Letter School: This app is wonderful for students to learn all about letters and numbers: writing, counting, phonics and more. $2.99

4. Draw & Tell HD: This app is wonderful for storytelling and more. Use the tool to draw, color, decorate with stickers, create animations and record stories. $2.99

5. Bugsy K Math: Bugsy is a very hungry hamster. Keep his fridge stocked by playing fun math games.$2.99


Although the student apps are not all free, some do have lite versions. For our students they are all worth the $$. BUT for my personal App-Solutely most favorite app for the summer...

 

CANDY CRUSH!

Do you play??? If so, what level are you on? It's Level 118 for me! We would love to hear some of your favorite apps in your classroom! Do you have iPads and if so how many?

 

Hoping to hear from you all soon! Happy 4th of July!
