Happy Summer, Friends!
I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things to do in the summer is relax with a cup of coffee while listening to the Today show and pin away on
Pinterest! Yep, it's definitely a time suck, but in the summer, who cares, right?
So here's a great list of my fellow secondary teachers that you should ALL follow on Pinterest! OK, so there's really 18 secondary teachers featured, but since I'm telling YOU about them, we won't count me. :) All of these bloggers/pinners are active online and have a lot to offer secondary teachers. I hope you'll check out their pinboards & blogs. And in case you need a link to my Pinterest boards, I pin from my
Mrs. Orman account and my
Hunger Games Lessons account. To see the latest pins from either account just click here:
Mrs. Orman's Pins and here:
Hunger Games Lessons Pins.
Thanks for taking time to follow us! You can download a free activity (link at end of post) to use at the end of your school year or anytime! (I usually repeat it several times throughout the year.)
