taking place over at The Organized Classroom Blog? Charity Preston has
challenged teacher-bloggers to reflect on their style of blogging. I know there have been mixed feelings about it and I debated adding this next part, but here it goes.
like the tag posts because I enjoy getting to know the bloggers I follow
personally as well as professionally. Why do I enjoy going to work every day? A
lot of it has to do with the wonderful teachers I work beside. I have a
personality and I’m going to let it show through my blog. However, I want mostly
teaching content from my blogs and if we’re tagging and awarding all the time, that’s a problem. So, you will find posts like that here, but they’re going to be few and far between.
Also, I love it when bloggers I follow give the scoop on awesome websites
they’ve found or super ideas from other teachers I might have missed. That’s
all about promoting collaboration and sharing to me. It’s also how I found new
blogs to follow. However, I follow bloggers who personally appeal to me and I think it’s hard to show yourself when you’re pushing ideas you’ve found somewhere else most of the time. So, you will find posts here with other ideas and resources, but they aren’t the primary focus of my blog. I personally don’t consider Linky Parties as part of that because you’re writing your own post, with your own ideas. I think the great thing about Linky Parties is that you’re able to get a whole bunch of original ideas about the same topic.

Ooh- you just gave me an idea! I think I might do thumbprint pots but have the kids make their "family" in fingerprints! A little Mom, Dad, siblings, etc… 🙂

I love those pots with the fingerprints! I will help my own kids make those for Grandma's mothers day gifts. 🙂
You'll have to share pics when you're finished. They'll be so cute!
Great post! Definitely a 5-Star Blogger! Thanks for linking up!

This is so great! We planted our plants in plain old coffee cups, I'm going to have to have the kids decorate the container for next year!

I also make the flower pots, but I put fish gravel in them and flower pens. Mom always has a pen in the kitchen! To make the pens just buy the regular white Bic pens. Remove the tops. Get artificial flowers (colored gerber daisies are great). Cut each flower off individually, leaving the stem and removing any leaves. Put the flower right next to the pen and wrap green floral tape around it. Stick it in the gravel inside the flower pot. So cute!
Where you find the thumbprint pots? I will use it if i remember.

Did you use acrylic paint or tempera? I'd also put Mod Podge to seal the paint, then spray with Aileen's craft spray and they'll last forever!
