Bright Ideas





Wow, reading all these awesome ideas is just fabulous.  I am having such a great time thinking about how I can implement these all in my classroom!  I have a cute idea that I do in my classroom and I hope you can use it.  It is our classroom Magic Spray.  It is very simple to use and the kids love it.  I have a spray bottle and I fill it with water.  Sometimes I will use food coloring or glitter in the bottle to make it more fun.  When I need the children to concentrate really hard or if we are having a hard time keeping quiet in the classroom, I will pull it out and tell my students that we need some magic to help us.  I spray the bottle and instantly the children are on task.  I tell them we can only spray it at most 2 times a day otherwise all the magic will be gone.  It is a quick and easy way to redirect children and have a fun time doing it.  I hope you liked my Bright Idea!

I am so excited to be able to participate in this giveaway for you!  I absolutely LOVE TPT and I want to give one lucky person the opportunity to win a $10.00 gift certificate to spend as they wish on some of the fabulous things in TPT.  I also am excited to share that all my Freebielicous friends are also giving away a $10.00 gift certificate on their blogs so make sure you hop along and enter.  BUT... that is still not all.   Go to the Freebielicious blog and enter for a chance to win some additional gift certificates.  



Teacherspayteachers has given me the opportunity to make my classroom filled with students who are excited to learn.  The engaging activities by so many talented teachers have helped me differentiate my instruction and watch my student's eyes light up because they are having fun while learning important skills.  

I have been fortunate to make so many friends through this whole process as well.  I will be forever grateful that all of you are part of my life.  We laugh, we cry, we are frustrated, and we share all our success stories which help all of us to grow as teachers.  I am a better person and teacher because of all of you!  


Hop on over to my friend Jennifer's blog for another chance to win!
