High Five for Friday

Really excited it's Friday.

I am that much closer to going home for Thanksgiving. 

I am ready for some fun!

Here are a few things that made my top 5 this week:

1. Made this pretty cool door decoration for my classroom.

We have been learning about verbs lately. 

With how the new Core is arranged, we basically spend a few weeks on each topic.

The kids get tired of some of the topics, so I needed to spice things up.

So, I give you Angry Verbs.

I had the kids color an Angry Bird and then write 8-10 verbs that the birds would do.

They loved it!

2. Hate to say it, but I am a Twilight fan.

Circa 2008.

I loved the books and find the movies quite entertaining.

Really excited to see the last movie this evening with some girlfriends.

Glad I found some other fans ;)

3. Totally got teary eyed in class today.

One of my little kids that has really struggled with reading has been making 

BIG strides lately. He came into 1st grade about 3 levels below grade level.

As of today... I almost have him on grade level.

We do little reading groups and I kept him back for a few minutes to try him

at a higher level today. He read it like a pro! 

I told him I would be moving him up to a new group. 

He got the biggest grin on his face!!

Those moments make all the crazy days worthwhile :)

4. Park City....this weekend :)

Here's to no icy roads and tolerable weather!!

5. Come next Wednesday, I will be hanging out in San Fran

with my parents and brother. REALLY excited.

I am excited to spend some time at home with family. 

Word on the street is mom is making some of my favorite potatoes.

Have the purse...so where can I find that sweater???

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Remember to find some time to relax and unwind :)
