Five for Friday- Link up with Doodle Bugs!

I've missed the last few Five for Friday because life has been so stinkin' busy! But I finally have time to join back in the fun! Here's my Five for Friday:

{1}

It's spring break!! Or it was :( I can't complain though. It's been a WONDERFUL week and I've gotten caught up on so much! Still a ton left to do, but I'm further than I was, right? :)

While we're on the subject of Spring Break, my little Maltese Reese has been enjoying our little vacation more than me. She's been busy helping me create. :)

{3}

I took a small break from working on classroom things yesterday to do a little shopping. I ran across this Kate Spade bag at TJ Maxx and just about died! I've been stalking TJ Maxx stores for the longest time trying to find Kate Spade handbags. I am so excited that I finally found one. I ended up not purchasing it because I didn't like the fabric texture, but this is proof that Kate Spade handbags do exist at TJ Maxx!! :)

While shopping I ran into BBW to stock up on candles. I'm currently burning my favorite, Island Margarita. Love!!

My Tory Burch sunglasses came this week! I am in love!! :)

Common Core Spring Centers and a GIVEAWAY!

I have finally finished my 113 page Spring themed unit that is COMMON CORE aligned! This is my first common core unit, so I thought a giveaway would be a great way to celebrate! ;) I've teamed up with the fabulous graphics artist Mel of Graphics from the Pond. If you haven't checked out her TpT store, you need to. It is wonderful and has some fantastic clipart that I love to use. I used her spring products in this unit, along with the fabulous ABC super pack. The unit contains 6 common core literacy centers and 6 common core math centers.

Shake it up! Dollar Tree Style

If you haven't scoured the aisles of the Dollar Tree lately, you need to now! Easter is the best time to find things to create centers with and these little clear eggs are a GREAT find.

I put two dice in each one. My kids worked with partners to shake the egg, create an addition sentence using the two numbers they rolled and determine the sum. They LOVED this and begged me to keep playing. I finally had to tell them we would start doing the center everyday during math. You would be amazed how motivated they were and how much fun they had. Happy teacher right here! :D

Just a quick little post to share with y'all. I'm off to watch the spring finale of Pretty Little Liars!
