Hello all!!!
I am joining Doodle Bugs Five for Friday linky party. I have been wanting to do this one for a while but can never seem to get my act together!!! Well I'm joining, but my act still isn't together...lol.
Here are 5 random things from my week and I mean random:)
1. This is how my week started (Sunday counts, right?) We went to my daughter's college to meet the new boyfriend (love him!) and watch them play volleyball in a "Sweet Heart Beach Tourney". They got second:) It was awesome!
BUT, spent all day at Lacrosse (Saturday with my son) and all day Sunday at my daughter's college SO, I have been feeling like the mouse on the wheel......all week!
Always behind, never catching up!!!
2. These are a sneak preview of a post I'm going to do later. These are Social Studies journals that my kiddos made for an end of unit project. We have been studying explorers. They had to write a journal with at least 5 entries, as if they were one of the members of an expedition to Florida.
They really enjoyed this and I think they did a great job!
3. Valentine's day.....need I say more....lol!
If I eat all the chocolate I got I'll be 400 pounds!!!!
4. We are working on theme in my classroom right now. That's a hard one for my kiddos to get so I bought these great Theme Task Cards from Rachel Lynette. I can't wait to use them in my small groups next week:) My silly wireless printer refused to work for 2 days.....now it's working again so I finally printed these yesterday!
5. Totally random and not teacher related but my new fave drink! I have had several of these from Starbucks but about died when I saw you could buy a pack of 5 and make your own!!!!! Love, love!
My "TO DO" list is a mile long for this 3 day weekend!!
I hope you all have a refreshing weekend!!
Be blessed!
Hey Tara! I'm glad you had a nice time with your daughter! I know what you mean about the list...I have a lot planned for these three days :) :)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend dear Tara!!
I will have to try that starbucks VIA! I love those drinks at Starbucks too! Hope you can catch up a bit this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI always love your posts - I always find something I want to try! I used one of your ideas from January Made it Monday for Valentine's Day Math - thanks for sharing!

When I am gone all weekend.. I start my week frazzled and never feel like I can get caught up... I try really hard to keep sunday afternoons/nights free to get ready for the week!
ReplyDeleteI got tons of chocolate too. Then went to the grocery after school and bought stuff to make chocolate chip cookies.. what was I thinking????
Tara Your daughter and her bf are adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to your list to!
Now I have to add starbucks to mine!
I was spoiled by my kiddos for Valentine's Day too! I will be eating chocolate for the next three years! :)
ReplyDeleteYour explorers journals look great - I love having my kiddos write journal entries as famous historic people or book characters; I feel it really makes them think and step into the story or historic event.

That is wonderful that you were able to see your daughter and new boyfriend. I cannot even imagine watching beach volleyball right now! I love Rachel's task cards too and have more on my to-do list to get ready. A mouse on a wheel sounds about right!
