Pinterest Sent From Heaven - Three Little Pigs

Oh my goodness it was a bad idea to get on pinterest! It really is a tool sent from heaven because it is so amazing!! Before my mission I would pin things that I liked in the teaching field but because of this class I decided to make specific boards for all the core subjects so I have an easy way to make lesson plans and only have to go to one board to see different ideas. But as I keep searching I can see how you can make even more specific boards for just one lesson plan. I remember in an education class I took in High School my teacher talked about how being a teacher you just steal ideas from everyone and everywhere. This is just what pinterest is like: we get to steal peoples ideas and it is okay to do so. It is wonderful!

One thing I learned is you can also pin videos. Makes since right? But I had never done that before. I really had fun pinning videos of other people reading stories. Part of the standard I chose is retelling stories. So in my class we are going to read The Three Little Pigs.

Then we are going to watch:

The True Story of the Three Little Pigs

After we read both of the stories we are going to talk about it and then I am going to have my students write their own. Then this is where you as the parents come in. They are going to read it to you and throughout the next few weeks we will share one or two of them in class at the end of each day.

Here is my Reading Pinterest Board which is where I got some of my ideas:
Reading in Miss North's Pinterest world

and because writing is apart of this project here is my writing board:
Writing Fun

If you have any ideas for me please let me know and feel free to follow my pins and use them to help your students learn and grow!
