About Me

My name is Rose and I am an OCT certified teacher. This blog will be used to share resources and ideas relating to teaching within the P/J classroom. I will also explore ways in which technology can used to facilitate and enrich learning within the classroom. I hope that this blog will inspire other teachers and teaching candidates to incorporate technology into their classrooms to create a more interactive classroom environment to cultivate creativity and make learning more pleasurable for all students.

Pinterest!

I have recently discovered an amazing website to share educational resources and ideas. The pinterest.com website is an excellent way for starting teachers to gather ideas from other teachers. It is also a great way for the “veterans” to give back to the greater teaching community. This website provides teachers (especially those of us who are visual learners) a virtual space to exchange resources without having to shift through pages and pages of reading. Here are a few outstanding ideas I discovered on the website that I plan to use with own classroom:

These are adjective flowers. Students can create very own flower of synonyms to share with classmates to help enrich writing vocabulary.

This is a sight word parking game. As the teacher orally reads sight words, students must "park" a car on top of the word (in the parking space).

 Great way for students to explore word families independently.
