Thank You Pinterest!

I have found the cutest writing activities thanks to Pinterest, well I guess I should say thank you to the awesome teachers who came up with the idea and THEN posted them to Pinterest for me to find! This first snowy activity was found by one of my second grade teammates on Tori's Teacher Tips through Pinterest. They came out SO CUTE!!!  I used bowls instead of plates because the plates were twice as much and I used Epsom salt for the fake snow. I highly recommend them, they were easy and my kids loved it. Plus, their writing was really cute too! I explained that they had to pose like they were cold or really stuck in a snow globe when we took their pictures and this is what they came up with...

Let's zoom in on one of my favorite poses....

Ahhh, they are just so cute! Here is my current hallway set-up.  We don't really change bulletin boards like other schools, instead I use my wall outside the hallway.  

And in case you were curious, my fix for the epic fail of these 2013 resolutions from the Lesson Plan Diva that I wrote about before break was to brush off the glitter which really just fell off and have them color over the numbers with crayon.  Not quite as cute as the glitter but they are still cuter than what I did last year!

I am now on the look out for our next adorable writing craftivity!
