Let's Share: Great Ideas from other Teacher Bloggers

Sharing is a big learning goal for our elementary classrooms and I can't tell you how many times a day I say, "Please show me how you can share" or "What does sharing look like?" Some will get it and some, well, they just don't want to do it and you'll get blue in the face trying to make them get it. But enough about the kids, it's time for a little sharing here in my "garden". I love sharing things I love on Twitter but I'd love to share some of my favorite teacher blog posts from around the internet. I'm hoping this will become a bi-weekly occurrence here and a great way for you to pick up a few new tips and tricks from some awesome teachers. Enjoy!

* I love Mrs. Durning-Leander's February ideas. A pizza shirt for the 100th day, so creative!

* Decorating bulletin boards can be so much fun but sometimes I look at them and think, what the heck is going to go up there?! But Sunny Days in Second Grade has some fantastic craftivity and bulletin board ideas for the spring season that I've pinned and bookmarked for the future!

* I always love some guided reading tips and I was excited to read through this post about a guided reading session in a kindergarten classroom

* Has state testing season started for anybody? We still have a little while in my area, though we've been working all year long. I love Lesson Plan SOS's adorable ideas for celebrating and encouraging our young test takers

* I am in awe of this amazing unit plan for studying biographies by answering the essential question: "What is it like to be the first at something?"

* As a teacher in the Philadelphia area, I want to incorporate this study of the Liberty Bell into my future classroom

* Yoga is an amazing practice for adults but it can also be great for our young learners, especially those with special needs
