5 Pinterest Collaborative Boards: Teaching & Education


I must confess that I am now an official Pinterest addict and I have spent more than an hour of my waking day to devote to building content of my awesome Pinterest teacher boards since its inception in November. The great news is that I'm now opening them up for collaboration!
 
What are Pinterest Collaborative Boards? They are actually boards on Pinterest that allow other pinners to pin content on the board. Yes, it's that plain and simple! I believe that I have great colleagues who are also Pinterest users (like YOU!) who would want to share pins centered around teaching and special education. Collaborative boards on Pinterest are a great way to share your information to other teachers and networkers, while also generating great back links to your blog or website.
 
My Pinterest boards are now open, please leave a comment on the latest post and I will certainly add you. Let's start sharing!

Poems by Exceptional Child: DAN W.

RIGHT NOW POEM

I see a blue and yellow sky
I hear a loud sound
I taste nothing
I feel fear in my head
I think it’s getting closer
I sense that it’s going to rain
I know it is coming
I believe that I’m going to be safe
I imagine that I was somewhere else
I wonder if I’m going to be alright
I guess it is coming.

Art technique:
PAINTING / COLLAGE


KILLER WAVES

Without fear
Water destroyed their lives
It was an unbelievable thing
Why there was a giant wave;
Tourists and workers were watching
As the waves were getting bigger
And just when the water hit their feet
It was too late to run for their lives.

With tears in their eyes
The world watched.
People should take a trip to Asia
And give a helping hand.

*********************************

LOVE

Love is like a cruise on a red ocean
Where fishes are of different shapes and sizes
Love is a cruise to boys
When we fall in love
Love is the sweetest thing
When you're in it.

**********************************

OH I WISH! I WISH!

Oh! I wish! I wish!
I was a superbowl football player

Oh! I wish! I wish!
I was not living in a bad world

Oh! I wish! I wish!
I can see my father again

Oh! I wish! I wish!
I can see my grandparents

Oh! I wish! I wish!
My family can see them again.

*********************************

THANK YOU LORD

Thank you Lord
for letting me live another day

Thank you Lord
for my ever kind mother

Thank you Lord
for my peaceful home

Thank you Lord
that I have food on my table

Thank you Lord
for everything.

Hey Guys,

I read some of your work! Excellent!!!

Keep it up. Writing and paintings the best way we express our feelings. Our brain remember pictures, and simple organized words in poems are an expression that stays the longest in our mind.

Thanks for sharing your work to the world, let them know how you feel and share the world. Keep it up kids!!!

Hi Dan,
I am a teacher in D.C. and your teacher is teaching us about blogging. You already know how to do this. I love your poems. Keep up the good work. I am going to learn how to do this also. I chose your poems because my father and my brother share the same name as you.

Good luck.
Ms. D

WELCOME SY 2014-2015!

Teachers & parents tell me that this blog is like a "One-Stop-Shop", here's why ---

There are tons of lesson plans, printables, activity sheets and other resources that special education teachers can find in this blog! It's all for you to get the lil ones engaged in their seats and lovin' what they're doin'!

This blog is also our class portal to communicate information about our class, to archive course materials, to publish the course curriculum, syllabus, class rules, lessons, homework assignments, rubrics, and presentations. Yes, everything is in this blog for our students to review our lessons at home!

Parents love the transparency and the ability to access class materials in this blog. It's easy for parents to follow along as my students post their work. This holds true for their psychologists, social workers, general education teachers, and other special ed providers. This is another way for us to collaborate with the Multi-Disciplinary Team members of our students!

This class blog also serves as our students' e-portfolio. Our students collect the work they want to consider highlighting and then publish those that represent their best work. They then reflect on their work as they share them to their parents and teachers for positive comments and feedback. It's very easy for them to look back over their work and see the growth they've accomplished!

We invite you to please leave a message to our students. Beside the tiny envelope just after each entry is the comments link. Your positive feedback will surely encourage our students to do their best in school.

Thank you for visiting our class portal!
