Need Ideas for New Lesson Plans? Pintrest Can Help!


                Pintrest is a website that’s popularity has exploded in the last year and now, you can find almost anything on there.   Created for the “do it yourself” or crafty crowd it has evolved into a great resource for teachers.  The idea is that the site is like a giant corkboard where people “pin” pictures of the things that interest them.  Simply click on the picture and it will take you to the original website.  To make it even easier there is a list of categories at the top you can choose to narrow your search.   This is where we found the education section that we just had to share with you teachers!
You can find lesson plans, fun ways to engage kids, craft ideas for students and for decorating your classroom, facts about today’s education system, and much more.  For example, activities for a kindergarten classroom can be found here.  And to show teachers how much they really are appreciated, look at this.  Scroll through or create your own account to swap strategies with other teachers and see how your classroom can be enhanced!
