Favorite Pins Friday

I am have been meaning to participate in this linky party for some time now, but I have a SERIOUS lazy bone condition this summer!

However, I have decided to get my behind off the couch and do this party right.

Plus, if you are one of my Pinterest followers, you know I just love this site...

Here are my *favorites* from the week...

Favorite TEACHING related pins

My district is neck deep in the Marzano Evaluation System and there are several elements that a teacher must hit in to order to prove themselves Innovative (even in KINDERGARTEN!!!) I really love this "Ticket Out the Door" poster created by Jessica Heeren. It is simple, beautiful and blue!

I absolutely love this anchor chart for partner reading made by Kimberly Shannon.

This will be perfect for when I introduce Read to Someone and a superb reference for the rest of the year. Simple and colorful!

For the past few years, I have had several students on the spectrum. Now, I have never been trained on how to effectively teach students with Autism and it has really been a sort of trial and error for me as a teacher. This pin takes you to this great website, "Living Well With Autism." There are a ton of resources that are helpful when teaching students with ASD.

My favorite FOODIE pins

My goodness these look delicious! I could eat the whole plate. Of course, I'd have to find a suitable GF substitute for myself but that wouldn't stop me from making the real deal for my family. YUM!

This Lava Flow drink looks like the perfect summer concoction.

Get YO DRINK ON!

My favorite FASHION pins

This outfit looks like the perfect southern Florida teaching combo to me. I could definitely pull this off, not anytime soon, though...

Let me tell you, I. Miss. Shopping! 

Love the incoming kiddo, but maternity clothes shopping sucks. Especially when I just get bigger and bigger, bleck!

Since I can't really enjoy fashion for myself, I have this cutie-pie find for my little man. Wish I could knit this adorable outfit (if you can call it that!) found on Etsy.

My favorite PRINTABLE pin...

I just LOVE these parent print-outs made by Jodi at Fun in First blog. They are the perfect way to provide helpful information without overwhelming a parent. Love it!

My favorite FUNNY pins

His little bug-eyed face cracks me up every time I look at it!

Leave it to Buzz Feed to provide another list that leaves me in stitches!

Number 5 and 10 are so thoughtful and, of course, I love number 2 because, you know, nothing is more fun than playing with your kids like you do your animals!

My favorite HOME DECOR pins

Source

This looks really cool and I am sure my husband would be all over it, but I would always worry that the TV was going to fall and kill me in my sleep!

I can't tell you how happy I was when my wittle projector was hooked up in my classroom and they removed that HUGE SCARY television that was mounted on my wall. It hung right over my teacher desk and I was always afraid it would fall on me!

This bar area screams ANDI. Love the color and all the beachy accessories. I'm such a Florida girl!

My favorite Baby pins

I just love this birth announcement. So simple and precious. I can't wait for my little man!

Putting baby to sleep and establishing a sleep pattern has me up all night! I am a nervous wreck about doing the wrong thing with baby Max. Any helpful tips would be much appreciated! I want a good sleeper! Every year, I have to deal with a classroom full of kids who do not get a good night's sleep and I see the damage that is done by it. Makes me sad and nervous!

Well, that's all folks.

Thanks Cara for this fabulous Linky Party!

Permission Granted

I'm a little late to this party {AND THE LINKY IS CLOSED! I'm such a loser!}

However, this is an important topic and I need to post about it regardless.

I love it when people pin pictures from my blog on Pinterest!

It makes my heart sing....

Click on the 'Permission to Pin' button found on my sidebar to go to the Linky Party at Corkboard Connections and find other blogs who give their permission as well. 

Of course, I'll give y'all permission to pin.

If it weren't for Pinterest, I wouldn't be half as clever as I appear to be!

Pinterest Linky Party Y'all!

If you are wasting several hours pinning or repinning, then you will appreciate this Linky Party.

It's a Pinterest Party!

Randi from Teach it with Class blogged a little while ago about this party.

It is over on Kim's blog, The Teacher's Lane.

This site seems really huge to me so it will be nice to follow teachers I kinda know from the bloggysphere. (Or at least I'll get to know y'all better!)

Join the party {here}

Poster I love and just repinned.

Thank you, Lindsey!

I'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Lindsey at the teacher wife for hooking me up with Pinterest!

Recently, Lindsey blogged about Pinterest. She explains what Pinterest is and how to use it. I am so glad I came back to blogging to catch this post. It was so helpful for someone (me) who needs things visually spelled out. 

Apparently, you can't just join the site right away. You are either placed on the wait-list or you have to be invited from a member. Thankfully, Lindsey offered to send invites to anyone who left a comment on her blog.

Once I was a member, I spent countless hours playing! Even my husband wanted an invite (wow!) 

My boards

Anyway, I'd like to pay it forward and if you want to get started on the fun, please leave your e-mail address in my comments box.

Thank you, Lindsey!
