Five for Friday


I'm linking up with Kacey over at Doodle Bugs to share my Friday five!

{1}
I'm obsessed with this book right now! I mentioned in my last post that I was trying to teach math better after getting a new math series this year and this book has certainly inspired me! I'll share more about my math soon.

Since we're on the subject of math and Debbie Diller's amazing book, I've been busy creating some centers from her book. I can't wait to try these out next week!

Aren't these frog clips cute?? I found them at CVS of all places! They are perfect for number line counting.
I made my own,number lines but then I found this WONDERFUL pack from Lindsey (the teacher wife)

I just had to capture this sweet moment today during AR reading. I let the kids find a place in the room to read and this sweet girl decided to use our computer cubes! :)

{4} 
I managed to get all my word work centers created, laminated, and package BEFORE the weekend!! I'm so excited that I won't have to spend my Saturday doing this. 

{5}
Guess who made their first visit to our classroom this weekend?? Our leprechaun, Luke! He replaced our hand sanitizer with a good smelling green kind and remind everyone that he was on the lookout for good behavior! 

I wish I would have remembered to take a picture of the bottle at the end of the day. It was ALL gone. I bet we had the cleanest hands in the whole school :D :D
I'll leave you with our new door. Can you tell that we are a little excited for St. Patrick's day??

Happy Friday, y'all!! :)

  10. I bought that math book, but haven't been able to use it with our "great" math curriculum this year. Hopefully I can try to work a little of it in next year.

    1. I have had such a sour attitude about math this year, but I just made myself sit down with the series and study it. I've been pulling different resources here and there and that's helped!
