We all have grand ideas and plans to make new things over the summer to spruce up our classroom and curriculum, but often life throws us a curve ball and we don't get to it. Or maybe during school, we are fresh out of ideas on ways that we can reteach a topic. Or you know the days that the flu bug or other germs pop out of nowhere and we have to make sub plans. I have stumbled upon a great resource for just those situations. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/
Yup! Teachers Pay Teachers. The site has great organization and filters that you can use to find exactly what you are looking for. You could search by grade level, subject, idea, etc. You can pay for some resources or download the ones that people put up for free.
You should know that there are THOUSANDS of free resources that you don't need to pay for and are really great quality too! Just the other day I downloaded a resources about Cheating and what students may or may not think that cheating is. (Here it is: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cheating-Survey)
I did just purchase my first thing from TpT this evening. It was painless and easy and downloaded right to my computer. It was a clip art graphic set of owls. :) I love little clip art to add to different things and this pack was perfect. Owl Clip Art Package
This is a great resource for any subject! Check it out! Be sure to add a comment if you try it or download a really great resource that others could use!

Summer Bucket List
I don't know about you but every summer, I make a list of things that I would like to accomplish before I go back to school in August. Truthfully, half of the items that I want to get done don't (but that's another blog post). :)
However, one thing on my list will get done this summer because I signed up for it back in February. (It could of been around the time of my last blog post, actually!) I will be RUNNING a 5K on July 1st. Now, I am not going to be setting any pace records but I just don't want to walk any of it.
In my search of fun and upbeat running music, I found a site called http://jog.fm/ This site is amazing! You simply have to enter your targeted time for running, walking, or cycling a mile and it will give you pages and pages of songs that have the beats per minute (bpm) to meet your targeted pace time. Another great thing about the site is that it allows you to preview a suggested song and links to buy on Amazon.com or Itunes.
Speaking of running music, does anyone have a go to favorite to keep them motivated? Please add yours in the comments below! :)
