One Week Down and Five for Friday!

What a week it was! This week was so busy it is almost a blur! I have some of the same students from last year and a few new students. It was nice to see all of my students on Monday, I truly did miss them over the summer! Monday and Tuesday the kids just worked on routines and some getting to know you activities in their homerooms. Wednesday is when the fun really started, so I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday. Also, make sure you read to number 5, so that you do not miss out on my special giveaway!

I basically bought a new wardrobe, so I had to show off some of my new outfits. Here is what I wore this week:

                      

For those of you don't already now, because I was slacking in the blog world. I am officially down 62 pounds! I got my next 5 pound sticker last Saturday!

And if you do not already know I am obsessed with Pure Barre! I took my 80th class today. Only 20 more to go until I am in the 100 tuck club! So excited!

My theme this year is polka dots and superhero students! It worked out really well, because I got a new student who is in love with superheroes. We talked about superhero student traits (from Katie King) and did a couple writing assignments/ activities this week. 

Finally,  it is Friday (woo hoo!) and I am giving away a 20 dollar Target Gift Card! Make sure you enter below! Also, I will be having many other giveaways throughout the year, so make sure you are following me!

Five for Friday Linky!

Made it to Friday, woo hoo! Lots and lots of fun this week. 100th Day of School and Valentine's Day Parties! Not to mention a four day week for students' because of professional development today. 

 The 100th Day of School was celebrated on Thursday! I planned lots of fun activities and my students' had a blast. See my last blog post or click the above picture for more details on the 100th Day!

                       

I got my 5% sticker this week at Weight Watchers. I still have a long while to go, but I was super excited about this small accomplish. 

On the above note, when I was coming out of the gym on Thursday, I slipped on ice and sprained my ankle. I have never had pain like this before and my foot is now extremely bruised. Luckily I did not break anything, but I did miss the 100th day and Valentine's Day parties. 

I got my students' goodies for Valentine's Day. I just love being able to give my students' something for their parties, even if it is just something little. 

Finally, I received awesome feedback on one of my grad papers. It really helps boost my confidence when I can see that I am doing well and doing what is required! 

Have a great weekend and have a great week next week. Until next Friday, take care!

Five for Friday Linky Party!

It is already February… I still can not believe this! Time just flies by and I have no idea what haas happened in the mean time, oy vey! 

I finally finished my Sight Word Cards! I am so excited to use these in my classroom and I just put them up on Teachers Pay Teachers. I really feel that these will be a great tool to help my students with sight word fluency, and in context! Click the picture above to get these now!

I started Grad School in January and I am going a little crazy with how busy I am. This has been my life every night lately. I feel like I can never get ahead, but it will be worth it in the end!

We have had 7 snow days, since the end of winter break. I am starting to go a little stir crazy and feeling a little stressed with how far behind I am in my classroom. However, one snow day I decided to make a chain showing the days left until the Color Run. 91 more days and I am super excited.  

We started really working on sounding out and blending CVC words in my Kindergarten group. They love the CVC practice cards from Cara Caroll's Filling in the Gaps packet. Everything is already cut out and ready to go, so very easy for me as well!

Finally, My 2nd graders have been working very hard with estimating and their overall number sense. They love to circle the numbers on their 120s chart to help them visualize what number to round to. This chart is from Anna Brantley's, Common Core: Numbers to 120. 

Thank you for checking in! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Hopefully I will see you next week as well!
