Pinterest in the Classroom 

Pinterest is such a unique place that has a variety of categories to choose from. With Pinterest having such an assortment of activities to choose from. Pinterest is my new addiction for finding fun crafts to do and ideas for gifts. With the wide topics I found it easy to find creative classroom activities to which i could do in my future classroom. This is also good for when you need to find lesson plans, classroom games and so much more. The most unique thing about it is that a lot of the pins are posted by other teachers.
This project has taught me their are so many ways you can make a fun creative way for students to understand the material put in front of them.
I completed the activity to show you how it is done. I used all of the materials listed below and i am so happy with the way it turned out.

Holiday Picture

This is such a cute and fun project for students. This will allow the teacher know if the students have a clear understanding of shapes. This project is based off geometric shapes that are used in everyday life. 
Step1: Materials
  • Glue 
  • Scissors 
  • Construction Paper
  • Pencil 
  • Ruler 



Step 2: Cut out the six shapes that have to be put in the holiday picture 
To begin the student needs to think of a holiday scene they want to create. They need to be creative with their choice. To make the project successful the student has to have all the required shapes in their picture. They are graded on if they had all the required shapes. 
  • Circle 
  • Square
  • Rectangle 
  • Triangle 
  • Oval 
  • Star

Step 3: Gluing on the design 
In this step the student is supposed to start to glue on the shapes they have cut out to make their holiday picture

 Step 4: The finished product
This is where the student finishes the project they are proud of. here is an example of the one I did.
