What I’m Loving Wednesday: Positively Pinspiring!

Linking up with Covered in Glitter and Glue for another week of What I’m Loving Wednesday! And what I’m loving this week is Mrs. Plemons’ Positively Pinspiring linky!

Here’s some of the great pins I’ve found this week that I’m excited to do! (And trust me when I say I’m not the craftiest person and these are all so do-able!!!)


 I saw this idea on Sun, Sand & Second Grade and fell in love!! I had already bought crates to use as a bookshelf, so I’m going to make 2 of these benches instead!! I started working on mine last night and I can post some pictures soon (make sure you’re following me on Instagram because you’ll see them sooner over there)!!
I saw this earlier in the summer from Kristen over at Easy Teaching Tools. I finally went in to my classroom yesterday to grab my clips and paper trays! I can’t wait to spray paint!!!!

I love this idea from Rowdy in Room 300! I bought little containers from The Dollar Tree (of course) and I’m going to work on labels to fit my smaller containers that will match my classroom’s apple style/blue & orange colors/mish mosh of whatever I’m liking at the moment theme!



What have you been pinning?!


Make sure you head on over to Mrs. Plemons’ Positively Pinspiring linky to see what pins people are loving and check out Covered in Glitter and Glue for What I’m Loving Wednesday!

      It's fantastic!! It's not going to hold much weight but it's great for book storage and the little kids! 🙂

Have you used @playosmo at home or in your classro Have you used @playosmo at home or in your classroom??

We were lucky enough to be gifted this Little Genius Starter Kit and it is the coolest thing ever! My 4 year old is hooked and I love that she's learning while playing on the iPad. ➡️ Swipe to check out the letter formation game she was working on.

From phonics and numbers to storytelling and coding, there are so many games, activities and kits to choose from! There's even a Disney Frozen activity kit that I may already have hidden away for Hanukkah!

Osmo would be the perfect addition to any classroom too (especially if you already have an iPad!) I could see this being used during reading or math centers. How would you use Osmo in your classroom??
