Welcome to the August Pick 3 Pinterest Picks! I am so excited to be linking up with some really incredible blogs (that all of you should follow) and I hope we're all getting a little bit of information that will help us with the back to school madness. I don't know where everyone starts, but in my school, teachers report back for two weeks of PD starting on August 24th. In other words, I have 3 weeks to live it up! (By live it up, I obviously mean set my new classroom up and move tons of furniture haha!)
Every year I'm looking for something new to make my life a little easier and a little more organized at the beginning of the year. This year, I found a few hot ideas that I think are going to be worth my while and hopefully yours, too!
This year I am handing out flip books to parents with tons of classroom info that they will likely ask throughout the year. I usually send home tons of paperwork and hand outs, but think seems a lot easier because it puts it all in one place.

All I have to do is cut and staple? I can handle that any day of the week! Plus, the brightly colored papers make it fun and friendly. It's a different way to get all the B2S stuff in without it being a boring packet of white papers.
Because we live in a time when people are SO connected with their phones, I try to always find the best ways to keep parents informed on what we're doing in our room. Sometimes parents need reminders about upcoming tests or events going on in the school that they may have forgotten about. This is where Remind 101 comes in!

This year I am really pushing myself to expand my use of portfolios in my classroom. I want this to be a way to showcase how much my students have grown throughout the year, but I also want it to be something that they can take with them when they're done. We've done memory books in the past, but with their portfolio, we can see just how much they've grown academically and even physically with the added photos.
