{Five for Friday!}

Whew! This week is over and I cannot wait to sleep in tomorrow.
We're watching Charlotte's Web after a very long Read Across America Day.
I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for my second Five for Friday!
Weee!


{One}

I'm proud of my Cat in the Hat Cat Hats that I made for my guys today to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday (it's tomorrow!)
The kids loved them, except for one who asked if he could have watermelon on his. LOL.

{Two}
Wondering how I got those AND twenty Kool-Aid Jammers to school?
That would be my amazing thermal that I received for hosting my first Thirty-One party.
This sucker is a hostess exclusive and you would not believe how many people have parties just to get this one item. It holds two large Pyrex dishes. Stop. I know.

{Three}
We enjoyed our snacks while reading some Dr. Seuss favorites and working on a reading passport. Today was super laid back and I wish that's how all of our Fridays were. My grading is all finished and now I just have to put those grades in PB and I'm all caught up!

{Four}
My hunny and I got to go to the movies together last weekend. We saw Snitch with The Rock. We love Dwayne Johnson and his movies so it was a must see. We were really impressed with the story and loved seeing him in a role where he wasn't whipping tail the whole time. His shirt stayed on, and that was the worst part. HA!

{Five}
Any Duck Dynasty fans out there?
If you don't like DD, just leave this blog now and we'll pretend like this never happened.
I love me some Uncle Si.
Hey! That's rule #1, if you wanna be my friend, you have to love Uncle Si.
My BFF Kristin gets it.

Hope you all have a great weekend. 
I'm headed to our school Fun Fest tomorrow and I am determined to come home with some great door prizes.

{Five for Friday... On Saturday}

I'm linking up over at Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!
It's my first time and I always LOVE reading everyone else's posts.

So.. this is what has been on the mind of a lot of the teachers in my school this week. We had our second training session for the new OTES. It seems really overwhelming and scary, but like many other things that come along, I'm sure everyone will learn how to play the game. At first I was really worried abut the Student Growth Measures, but I realize that I need to just get in there everyday, do my job like I already do, and it will all work out.
A friend and I keep joking that we'll be "developing" forever..

If you don't watch The Walking Dead, you are missing out.
I'm hoping there are some more cool teachers out there {like me} that are truly obsessed with this show and the insane story line. I have always been a lover of horror movies, but this show has turned into something I never imagined it to. You love the characters, you're rooting for them and you literally cannot wait until the next episode. Netflix has Season 1 and 2 on right now, I would highly recommend getting into it. The hype is real.
RICK GRIMES FOR LIFE.

Thirty-One madness...
I'm trying to figure out how to make some of the hanging organizers work in my classroom for next year. It would be a lot easier if I knew what grade I was teaching, but then again, some of the things I thought I'd use in third, I haven't and so on.. Working on this one!

I have been inspired by this picture. I don't know where I originally found it..
I want to make a larger board with chevron for our little office area upstairs and this is the picture that will keep me going until I get it done!

Third Grade Thoughts is probably my favorite blog. I find something useful and meaningful there ALL THE TIME.
Stephanie makes me feel like I don't have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to reading instruction. I am kind of obsessed with this teacher time bin and I'm working on making one that would be relevant to my classroom and what we're working on!

That's all folks. Don't forget about my weekend sale!
