Thankful for Bright Ideas

November is a month to look over our blessings and remember to be thankful for things large and small.

I am thankful that one Saturday each month some of the best bloggers out there share their wonderful ideas, tips, and classroom experiences during the Bright Ideas Link-up.  I am thankful that I have been able to participate in these events. 
November's event is a Roundup of Bright Ideas, where we are re-capping the best of the Bright Ideas.  So here goes....some of my favorites.

My personal favorite has to be raising butterflies.  Best thing I do all year and here is the post to tell you how I do it.

I have really been obsessed with making little magnets out of the clear stones you can get in the dollar store and in the floral department of any craft store.  Here is the post where I explain the many ways I use them.  My student's favorite way is as reading magnifying glasses.

I like getting kids outside.  In February it is for tracing shadows.

In May it was for field day.

Some ideas are short and sweet.  In August I blogged about this single little tip to make your life easier.

These are some of my bright ideas, but just take a look at all the bloggers that have shared their ideas.  Check out the link up below for a Round Up of wonderful Bright Ideas.

Have a GREAT day!

  1. Terri,
    What fun ideas! I love the clear stones idea for my reading intervention group. I am always looking for different ways to get them engaged with text. Thanks for sharing.
