Five for Friday on a Sunday??

Ummm.......not even sure if this is okay but I'm doing it anyway.  :)  It's just so much easier to revisit the past week on Sunday {Fun day} rather than Friday {Fried day}.  So I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching.......
...plus 2 days. :)
1. 
 It's that time of year when everyone gets a little crazy..........including teachers and the things we do to keep the kiddos excited, focused, and motivated.  Would you do the Harlem Shake????  Well, we would and did!!  Check us out.
 {this is a video we made for our principal.......we were hoping to give her a better idea of our faculty meetings when she is away}
This makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it and although we originally started off making one for the kids......I think it was more therapeutic for us.  We relaxed and belly laughed!!  We will show the kids the video we made for them during our ROCK THE STAAR assembly on Monday.
2.
In honor of Earth Day, my sweet family planted a vegetable garden on Saturday.  Isn't it beautiful.
Yes, it looks a lot like a vegetable prison but we have a puppy the size of a horse that is still chewing on things.  So this is to keep him out.
3.
On Sunday it was obvious our puppy is a vegetarian and nothing will stop him from getting what he wants. {sigh........}
 {see the evidence hanging from his mouth}    
                                                                          
4.
Little Sass is soooo ready to swim that she thought she would give a try.  The temp is sitting at 68 degrees.....obviously still a little too cold.  She couldn't get out fast enough.
5.
Little Sass finished her 3rd grade market product.  She will be selling these to her classmates on Friday.  The past month she has been earning money in her classes to pay for her sale booth and to buy products that her classmates will have at their booths.

Have a Super Sweet Sunday!

    The Harlem Shake video is awesome! I would love to get faculty to do something like that. I, too, think Sunday is a better focused day for my blogging!

    Check out my blog over at ifyougiveateacheratreat.blogspot.com. I spent today making my theme for next year, Under the Sea! I have a little give away on my first post from today so don't miss out!

LOTS of {FREEBIES} on this FRIDAY

Hi Sweet Friends!  My big baby is turning 16 this weekend, so I'm here to give little gifts to celebrate.  Yay!!  You know that I'm going to share a few pics of him before you get your {freebies}. Okay, it's time for {freebies} or I'm going to cry.   { Freebie #1 } This is a center activity that integrates reading and math.  I've included 60 of the first sight words that are introduced in Texas Journey's basal.  The students will be reading these words and writing addition sentences to match.  They are also on the lookout for DOUBLES, because in this game DOUBLES are worth more.  You can pick this up at my TPT store. { FREEBIE #2 ) This is a math center activity to help the kids recognize the addend to create the double addition sentence.  They must be the first to fill their backpack with each school supply (addend). I've also included blank game boards and supply cards.  This gives the kids the oppo...

Getting Things Ready for the BTS

I'm sure you can picture my cabinets at the house and I'm positive that I would drive some of you crazy but my sweet family has learned to LOVE it....I think.  Josh doesn't even ask me anymore if I want him to save....this or that, he just washes the container and puts it away for me.  He's pretty great.  If you read my last post then you know that I bought WHITE enamel paint on accident. Well, I decided to use it on some of my jars in the cabinet. I needed another (yes another) place to keep writing utensils.  I'm a teacher....we love all the writing things. ;-) This paint was perfect for the jars.  I love how the color turned out.  I cut up some old fabric for the ribbon around the top. A circular sponge made the just right polka dots and I taped off one of the jars and used chalkboard spray paint to cover the bottom. Yes, that's glitter on my workbench.  Every girl needs glitter all over her workbench, right?! The writing is v...

Financial Literacy in the Classroom

There never seems to be enough time to teach coins and financial literacy in the classroom.  I'm not sure about your kids but my kids seem to struggle with actually adding the coins.  They just needed some motivation......and a job.  We started this fun lesson with a job fair.   I introduced the jobs that they could apply for and then allowed them time to walk around discuss what they were interested in.   Once they decided on jobs that they wanted they filled out an application. Then it was my turn to go through the applications and decide on who to hire for the job.   I LOVED going through these and reading why I should hire them for the job. They were so motivated and excited to start working and earning their money. I created a pay schedule for the week and it made my teacher heart happy when they showed up more excited each day saying "it's nickel day" or "I'm so excited that it's dime day". Oh an...
