Picture Prompt Linky Party!

Edit Posted by The Wooden Shutter with 6 comments
Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE to write!  In the classroom, I share this passion with my students!  Below are some picture prompts I have created for a linky party hosted by my friends over at The Diary of a Not So Wimpy Teacher and Classroom Magic.  Join the party by clicking here and linking up:


These are my FAVORITE tennis shoes!
I wear them everywhere I go! Where
have your FAVORITE tennis shoes been?


To celebrate characters we love, I became
Fancy Nancy for a day! If you could be any
storybook character, who would you be and why?


        Look down the mountain and into the valley.
Use your imagination to describe a land that
might lie just beyond.

The beach is my favorite place to relax.
Where do you go to get away? What do you
do there?

"You Know You're a Teacher When..."

Edit Posted by The Wooden Shutter with 8 comments
I have that habit of not being able to turn off my "teacher voice" when the school day is over!  Often, my family will say to me, "Don't speak to me like I am one of your students!"  I just can't help it!  I use that voice so much, I don't even realize I am doing it!  Do you do this?  How would you answer the question above?  Leave your response in the comments below!  You can also get crafty and make one of your own by clicking this link

Then, head over to Kindergarten Lifestyle and join your lovely creation up with the linky party!  It's so much fun and so easy to do!  Get moving! :0)
