Here is a page of all Kinect Applications compiled by UK Kinect Guru Ray Chambers. Here are the lesson plans, links, and downloads for all that he's doing. If you want to use Kinect in the classroom. Take a look at him. (Shout out to the TES resource sharing site for helping me find his content.)

Although President's day is past, this Pinterest Inspired President's and DIY Lesson pLan book is a very cool idea. I love post it notes and would suggest that you use super sticky post it tabs. I really like this idea because you can move the lessons around as needed. In fact, I'm considering moving to this approach. I really like it. If you make your own lesson plan books, this is worth reviewing.

It is a great tie in with Valentine's day to share about heart disease and heart health. Here is a poster you can use in the classroom to talk about diet and coronary heart disease.
