Pinterest Picks for April


It's the third of April so it's time for my favorite monthly linky for ideas and inspiration. Many thanks to Lisa from Pawsitively Teaching, Marissa from Inspired Owl's Corner, and Ashley from Just Reed for hosting this fantastic linky on the 3rd day of every month.

Here are my top 3 Pinterest Picks for April....

 
Using plastic eggs as writing prompts.

I love this idea from In Fifth Grade with Teacher Julia. This would be a great way to start the morning. Students could choose an egg as a writing prompt for morning work. A basket of plastic eggs could also be added to the writing center and used as writing prompts.
 
 
Great ideas and activities for group activities for morning meetings

Do you use Responsive Classroom?  Second Grade Stories has great group activities for morning meeting. My students LOVE playing four corners and we are going to try "Mumball" next week.

 These are adorable and a great way for students to write about ways they can help protect our earth.

    I love the egg idea for journaling. That could really help those who feel brain dead and can't think of something to write.

    I love your pins, Julie! The eggs are a great idea! I wish my district had training in Responsive Classroom. I'm pinning this one to check out later. Thank you for sharing your fun pins and linking up with us! :)
