I am linking up this Friday with First Grade Parade for Favorite Pins Friday! What a great way to take a look back and get some new ideas from all the link ups. Hint: There is a surprise at the end of this post that you won't want to miss... Pin #1: It seems like everyone has heard of the awesome behavior beads from Run! Miss Nelson's Got the Camera. Alison at Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin' designed these Rockin' Behavior Beads! Pin #2: This is a tutorial posted in March by Mrs. Stanford's Class but I just found it this week! It shows you how to lock an iPad to keep a student on a certain activity/app at center time. I think this would give me the assurance I need for those tech savvy kids when I can't be looking over their shoulder:) Pin #3: Personalized hand sanitizer bottle DIY from Head Over Heels for Teaching. I want to make these for my teacher friends and my daughter's teacher! Pin #4: Box of 150 Children's books for about $34 (after shipping and handling). AMAZING DEAL! Pin #5: Here is a Cucumber Salad with just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time! Perfect for summertime! Love!!
