5 for Friday!

WHOO! My first 5 for Friday! Next week I know to take more pictures so I can actually show what I am talking about! Check out Doodle Bugs Teaching to link up =)

One:
This week I took a major step in packing! I always feel really good getting things started even though the move is still 2 months away. We just found out we won't be in GA long before we have to now head to KY/TN (the base is right on the border). We will only be in GA for 7 months. This means a few things for me...I guess I will not be getting a full time teaching job for the next school year because we are not there long enough. So.. hopefully I will tutor some. I am however excited to be a stay at home mommy for 7 months and work on lots of creating!! I will keep yall updated but that is the current plan for now. (it will probably change haha)


Two:
Measurement is done! We finished up our measurement unit today! I was very pleased on how everyone did on their test =)! This was one of my favorite things we did this week! They loved using the egg ruler since we just had Easter. 
 

Three:
Loving Blogging =) I am still just so excited I finally started! 

Four:
Text Talk-I love using Text Talk (Isabel Beck). My favorite part is when the kiddos start using the words in their everyday talk. Yesterday I read Tough Boris by Mem Fox! It has awesome vocabulary and amazing illustrations. Of course the boys LOVED the pirate theme. I did Text Talk with the words Fearless, Greedy, and Massive.

Five:
Excited to start my Earth Day activities next week! You can check it out here if you are interested in seeing what I came up with =) 


Most excited to see how these 2 activities go:

The Craftivity-I think its going to be so cute!

And the scattergories game!

Happy Friday Yall!!

  2. I found your blog through Doodle Bugs linky. I'm a Marine wife, so I more than understand the moving and packing. Ughh. We just moved to Hawaii in December, and I had to start all over again. :( At least it's beautiful here!
