I am now addicted to PINTEREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh!  You have created a monster!  Love the idea of being able to learn so many creative ways to teach!!! A treasure trove of ideas!

I liked the idea of the Social Bookmarking tool, Delicious.
However, the random selection they presented me with initially was odd.  I need to figure how to add my own favorite websites to share!

I am currently a Resource ELAR teacher in the AISD district.  I teach 7th grade reading and writing.  The challenge in lesson planning for this class is reinforcing/reteaching prerequisite ELAR skills in a creative and memorable way that supports student progress.  I have found picture books to be especially straight forward and useful for introducing many 7th grade concepts but in a simplified way resource students remember.
