**Please pin the Pinterest images from the sources listed below the photos to give proper credit. Thanks!** Happy Wednesday (1/2 way through the week!) Jivey is doing something a little different this month-since a lot of you are already done (lucky-I have 11 1/2 more days...but I'll be thinking of you when y'all go back in July and early August-we go back late August :). She's having us share our favorite pins that you want to try in the new school year. I thought I would break it up into three different weeks-since I have a lot of boards...and a lot of pins! So today's focus is reading. Here are some things that I really want to do next year: Source: julieballew.com via Kaitlyn on Pinterest Have the kids use post-its when reading a whole lot more...and keep track of their thinking and how it changes. This will help them with their entries~so they can write long off a post it... Source: web.me.com via Kaitlyn on Pinterest and I can grade them...

I also want to do better on the rotations-have something more concrete for them to do when they finish their work...like choice boards or tic tac toes for their independent reading.

I did manage to find some things while outleting with my friends-despite my best efforts not to spend any money. This was my first time in the LOFT outlet- and I found 2 pairs of shorts and a dress (I also found a skirt at Old Navy Outlet). I heart a store that has a decent petite section! Tuesday's Outfit Shirt: Maurices Skirt: Target Shoes: Zappos I did have a sweater today-not expecting to get as much use out of it...but it was colder than I thought!! Last Day to Enter!!! Smiles and Sunshine, Kaitlyn
