A Teacher without a Class

Wednesday, August 14, 2013


I think I should change my blog name to that.  Ok, I am being over dramatic haha!  I am still waiting for a placement.  I had two interviews the past two days!  One was 1st (close to Kindergarten, YAY) and one was 3rd (ahh- one of the interview questions was about ordering fractions!?) and BOTH were 40 minutes away from me WITHOUT traffic!  I can't imagine how long it will take as I try to drive through the city during rush hour...  Anyway, the first grade position was filled by one of my teacher friend's who is an amazing first grade teacher!  And two of my other teacher friends got positions too!  Whoo whoo!  So happy for them!  I still have my fingers crossed I find my classroom, so the hubby can park in the garage again ;)
Since I have extra time on my hands and can't really prep anything without knowing grade or school, I have spent lots of time on Pinterest-duh!  Check out some of my favorites...today, because I know I will have more tomorrow :)

This could be really cute if done the right way or really "tacky"...I'm here all week folks! :)

Popcorn bar: display plain popcorn and several spices and let guests do their own seasoning
How fun is this!?  Plain popcorn with shakers filled with different flavors!  
Equivalent fraction anchor chart using the cut-out of the number- love it! Could even have the students make their own and glue into their math notebooks for future reference.
I've got fractions on my brain now!

Switch up rock, paper, scissors to help kids with math! Two player game, one person is "odds" and the other is "evens." Kids shake their fist, chant "1,2,3, shoot!" Then, they stick out zero, one, two, three, four, or five fingers. Kids find the sum of their fingers. If the answer is even, then evens gets a point. If it's odd, odds gets a point.
This is so fun!  Rock, Paper, Scissors but with numbers!  Add fingers together and if the answer is even, then the even team gets a point!

I actually saw this on Facebook, but thought I would share.  "If Disney Princesses had Instagram"

I actually blogged about this one last Friday!  Put soap in the microwave and look what happens! :)
This is what happens when you microwave a bar of Ivory soap! Then you can tear it up, color it, and mold it into shapes!  It's not wet and messy, either!

I saw this yesterday, but didn't get a chance to blog about it until today!  I  I am linking up with Cara for her Favorite Pin Friday Linky Party!

I saw this and thought COOL!  Basically, you take a bar of soap and put it in the microwave...TA-DA! I haven't tried it yet, but can just picture the excitement!  Click on an of the pictures to take you to the websites!

This I found from Primarily Speaking.  Google serch Keyboard Template, print, and laminate keyboards.  Put it in a making words center and your kiddos "type" spelling words, sight words, etc!  

I found this one for the Squish Preschool Ideas.  Adding movement to the Butterfly Life Cycle!

I made these and they were DELICIOUS!
