Positively Pinspiring 8/6

I'm linking up with my new friend Jessica from Mrs. Plemons' Kindergarten to share my top 5 favorite pins from this week.  Click on the blog button above to read Jessica's favorite pins and to share your favorite.

My teacher partner and I are super lucky to have backpack hooks right outside our classroom.  Last year we made cute name tags to label each student's hook.  About a few weeks into school, half of the labels were gone and the other half were crooked and falling off.  I love this pin  from Vinyl Outlet.

Last year on a few planned absence days, I would leave sticky notes for some of my students with little notes on them.  Mainly a "please be good and follow the subs directions" notes.  The kids loved them!  I found this pin by Mrs. Lyons from Teaching....the Art of Possibility and I can't wait to leave more notes for my kiddos.  This will also help me make sure that each student gets a note or two :).

Do your kids have to give you an exit ticket at the end of a lesson or at the end of the day?  I found this pin from Teach From The Heart of a genius anchor chart using sticky notes.  I think my kids will enjoy writing what "Stuck with them" after a lesson.

My husband and I just started our Whole 30 on the first and we've been searching for new recipes.  We made these mini egg pizzas from  Paleo Parents and they were delish!  My boys loved them too!  They don't like black olives or mushrooms just yet, so we left those out.

The last pin is from me!  I'm really trying to work on my kids responding to more stories through writing this year.  I created this little freebie for you to check out.  Let me know what you think!
