Bright Ideas Round-Up!

I am excited that today's link-up has helped to get me out of my blogging slump!  Lately, my spare has been spent on painting my new house (2 rooms to go!), spending time with my nephew and family, playing with my kittens (aka: stopping them from eating my decorations), and catching up on sleep!  One of these days, I hope to get back to regular blogging.  Until then, here's a round-up of my favorite Bright Ideas posts from this past year!

Up first is one of my favorite posts that I've written on this blog!  If you can only visit one link, please check this one out.  This post features my Super Improver Wall and will give you ideas on how you can implement one in your own classroom.  The Super Improver Wall can help to build a classroom community and motivate your students.  This will be a game changer for your classroom.  

Next up is one of my favorite winter activities--shaving cream snowmen!  My students have a blast with this activity every year.  I link it to a writing project and it makes a great display in December or January.

Looking for a way to spice up your language instruction?  Try Compound Word Day!  This post gives ideas for creative ways to engage your students when teaching the parts of speech.

Finally, here's a quick tip that will save your sanity!  Visit the post below to learn how to use Washi tape to find your sharpest markers.  Once you start Washi-ing your markers, you will start to Washi everything!

I hope you've found a tip or trick that you can use in your own classroom!  Visit the link-up below to check out more Bright Ideas Round-Up posts.  These posts feature practical ideas with no products or advertisements--just quality Bright Ideas!
