Instagram Linky Party

The holidays felt like a whirlwind this year with getting out of school so close to Christmas. I'm pretty excited to have two more weeks to rest and relax and do the things I love to do though.

Speaking of things I love...I joined Instagram over the summer and started following some fellow teachers. I quickly realized there was an amazing group of people on there willing to share their ideas and I have been hooked ever since. It's been a great resource to find inspiration for the classroom and a place to get quick feedback on a question.

When I saw that Kickin' it in Kindergarten was hosting a Teachers of Instagram Linky Party I knew I had to be a part of it.

The idea is to share your three favorite Instagram posts from 2013, so here we go!

1. Something Cute

My pup- Dakota

 2. Something Fun

Our classroom elf- Bacon

 3. Something that Caught My Eye

The sunset from my driveway one evening

Head over to Kickin it in Kindergarten's blog to be a part of this linky or to check out other teachers who are as Instagram obsessed as I am!

Did you see it? The Instagram update from today? Instagram now includes video! What?! 

My favorite app just got better. I'm imagining how this will help the teaching blog world, which has taken over Instagram recently, become even better! 

I'm picturing quick 15 second teacher videos-tours of the classroom, short tutorials on brilliant ideas, and more! 

I'm off to go play on Instagram. Click here to follow me!

It's hard to believe the weekend is almost over! Yesterday was my birthday and I had a great day with family and friends. I feel rejuvenated and ready for the week ahead (state testing, weeeeeeee! Ready for it to be here already so we can get it done with and move on to some fun units). 

There's been about eleven million posts in the blog world about the Instagram linky being hosted on Tuesday by What the Teacher Wants and Apples and ABC's. It's called, "Teacher Talk Tuesday" and everyone is Instagramming (yeah, not sure that's a word) a picture of something from their school day and using the hashtag #teachertalktuesday.

I can't wait to see all the fun school-related pictures being posted on Instagram this week!
