Fun Pinterest Pins to Celebrate the Back-to-School Sale for Teachers

 

In case you haven't noticed, there's a sale going on at TeachersPayTeachers for educators so you can stock up on excellent lessons & resources for the new year. You will not find better prices anywhere else! I thought I would share some of my favorite sale banners from Pinterest and highlight a few products you might want to check out. Above is a parody of the Target commercial for the English teacher. See more on my other blog.

A few resources you ought to check out: I have sets of Common Core State Standards literature and non-fiction (informational) reading graphic organizers that are excellent for practicing and assessing students' knowledge and progress. My newest is (click on image for link):

 The Hunger Games Character Analysis Graphic Organizers that Correlate with the 

Common Core State Standards, Grades 6-12

And I created these last fall because I needed something to help me align my reading assignments with the Common Core State Standards last year. They are so handy and I use them all year long with various reading assignments, both for literature and non-fiction.

 Graphic Organizers for Common Core Standards-Based Reading, Grades 6, 7, 8

Graphic Organizers for Common Core Standards-Based Reading, Grades 9-10

Grades 11-12 coming soon (hopefully by Tuesday!).

These are excellent buys, especially with the sale going on. Multiuser licenses are also available. You can inquire at info@teacherspayteachers.com or purchase my 15-user licenses.

Pinterest Makes Possible a Potpourri of Resources & Examples for Teachers

Last summer my good friend Amy from Science Stuff introduced me to Pinterest. At first, I didn't really understand why people were making a big deal over it. Now, I'm hooked. It's one of the first places I go to find visual examples for class. In addition, teachers are using it to share their resources and materials with one another. You can find tons of freebies, tips, helpful websites, and student/classroom examples.

Hunger Games Related Boards

Check out fellow Hunger Games teacher Carla's Pinterest board of student projects here: The Hunger Games
Didn't her students do a fabulous job? The arena replicas are amazing. I love the attention to detail.

As I previously pointed out, you can find my Pinterest board for freebies here (and by clicking the button to the right): Hunger Games Freebies

I also have a board with links to any website or activity that I think would be helpful when teaching The Hunger Games. Some of the items are priced and some are just great websites you may find helpful: Teaching The Hunger Games

Classroom Pics is self-explanatory; you'll find my students' work and displays from my classroom.

Bookish News & Fun isn't solely related to The Hunger Games, but it's a great collaborative board started by Penelope from The Reading Fever. You'll find some great book-related sites and examples.

Do you have a Hunger Games-related board you'd like to share? If so, post it in the comments below.

Collaborative Teaching Boards

If you are looking exclusively for resources for high school, check out High School Herd, which is a collaborative board created by Charity Preston of the Organized Classroom Blog. You'll find all subjects here.

Middle School Maestros is the middle-school collaborative board for resources in the middle/intermediate grades.

For language arts exclusive lessons/activities from TeachersPayTeachers, check out Victoria Leon's (from The Best of TeachersPayTeachers) collaborative board: TpT Language Arts

Victoria started the collaborative blogs for every subject area. You can find them all here: The Best of TpT

Pinterest is also great to get some creative ideas, like Picture Writing Prompts. Use these prompts for journaling and creative, persuasive, expository, and narrative writing practice.

The Creative Classroom by Teachers is pinned by teachers who love to inspire creativity in others.
