5 for Friday: News!

Happy Five for Friday!

I'm linking up with Kacey to share about our exciting week!

It was a B-U-S-Y week! 

Really, it's the first full week we've had since...I can't remember! 

Here's a few random highlights:

We completed our end of unit (tape diagrams) assessment on Monday and Tuesday, then started Geometry on Wednesday. What a treat! Do you use geoboards? We use them for ONE day because history has taught us that one day is plenty :)  

This year, it went REALLY well!

I also had the privilege of reading my favorite book:

I seriously tear up every.single.time.

Here's our shared reading - so fun!

We had a close call over here this week:

I lost my shoe (and my stinky gym clothes bag)! I work out before school and I guess I dropped my belongings in the parking lot? How I didn't notice is really beyond me. It was a lot of fun claiming my ONE shoe and dirty laundry, but all is well now:

And here's my BIG news!

I'm now teaching Kindergarten! Well, sort of. Our dearest kindergarten special educator is on bed rest through the end of the year, so I get to work with her sweeties! It will be very busy around here, but they are dolls and seem really excited to be almost first graders :)

To incorporate their service hours, two students will be joining my Power Hour (Guided Reading), and I will be pulling two small groups (6 students) at two different times (one for math and another for reading). 

I snuck down to kindergarten for observations yesterday...

oh my, this is a wonderful group! I hope my own first graders 

are gentle with them!

If you teach kindergarten, I'm sure I'll be looking 

through all your posts and products this weekend! 

Thanks for reading & have a fabulous Friday!
