When I first started "blog hopping," I would often stumble upon a blog written by a 3rd or 4th grade teacher and think, "Nothing for me to see here" and move on to a K-1 blog. Somewhere along the way, I stopped and poked around one and realized the errors of my ways. Good teaching is good teaching is good teaching. Ideas, activities and cute lessons can really fit (or be adapted to) many different grade levels and I have found some great ones on some Upper Elementary blogs. So I am now an equal opportunity blog stalker (and I have the late nights and tired eyes to prove it
!) A couple of my favorites are
Oh Boy! Fourth Grade (Farley does amazing things with graphics and has a very witty "voice" that makes me chuckle) and
Create*Teach*Share (Rebecca is very crafty and has great ideas for all grade levels) - check them out
! Today's crafty inspiration came from Rebecca at Create*Teach*Share. She made the cutest storage unit with tons of little drawers to organize paperclips, rubber bands, etc. and when I saw it I knew that I absolutely had to make one for my desk area. (The OCD in me was doing backflips of joy
!) So I headed to Lowes, picked up one of the Stack-On organizers, got out my glue gun and got to work. A big thank you to Rebecca because my new, adorned organizer is now my favorite teacher toy. Ever.
