Five for Friday

Time for Five for Friday, hosted by Doodle Bugs Teaching!  Here are five random things that have been keeping me busy this week!

 

1. I love my new Rainbow Décor Bundle, I can't wait to decorate my room with these this year!  I like to keep thing simple in my Pre-K classroom, these posters are colorful, but won't be too distracting in my room.  Did I mention that having your own laminator at home is the most convenient thing EVER? Totally worth the cost, this laminator was under $20.00, and I order the laminating sheets from Amazon once in a while.

          

2. I made my Teacher Tool Kit two years ago and it still looks great!  I going to reevaluate when I get into my classroom, and maybe switch out some of the labels.

 

3. My boys had their last day of summer preschool today!  It was such a great program and they really enjoyed it, I had to whip up some easy gifts for their teachers. I save these pretty bottles from my husband's juice, and then whenever I need a gift I can just grab a flower arrangement and make a quick tag.  I made four gifts for $10.00 from this one bouquet!

 

4. Here's another one of my go-to gifts....a gift certificate to one our local ice cream shops and this cute printable.  I made this a couple of years ago and saved it to my computer, it's so simple to pull up and update with a personalized message.  Plus, who doesn't love an excuse to go get some ice cream? These are for my daughter's cheerleading coaches.

              

 

5. Thank you to A+ Images for my amazing blogger t-shirt!  I can't wait to wear this to my next TpT meet-up, or just around the house!  If you are a teacher blogger, check out their site and you may be able to order a FREE shirt.  I also love the other options...grade level, holiday, first day of school, class pictures...tons of fun shirts!

           

Thanks again to Doodle Bugs for hosting this weekly linky party! Enjoy your weekend!
 

Five for Friday and a Sale!

I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for a quick look at my week! 

1. We had fun with the Rainbow Reading Club!  I do this every year, I really look forward to it. My third grade teacher did this, and I've always remembered it.  The kids work on three book reports at home with their parents.  I encourage the kids to copy down the book title and author's name themselves, and then draw a picture or write a simple sentence about the book.  When everyone has handed in three book reports, we celebrate with a bowl of rainbow sherbet!

2. Art Show time at my school!  We made these silly cats during the first week of March!  I used the patterns from Deanna Jump's Silly Cat Glyph packet. They turned out so cute!

3.  We also painted rainbows for the Art Show.  We gave the kids six colors and posted a model, and then let them free paint a rainbow.  I love how they all turned out a little bit different!

4. I wish I had more time to read!  My ebooks keep getting returned back to the library before I have a chance to finish them! I have an actual book sitting next to my bed right now that I'm determined to finish before the due date!I thought this was so funny, I grabbed it from Erica Bohrer's FB page!

5.  I'm so happy, I reached 250 followers on my TpT shop!  Thanks to everyone who follows me! 

I'm participating in the Spring Cleaning Sale this weekend!  Check out my shop for 20% off everything. Thanks to Krista Wallden for this cute button!

Five for Friday

 

 I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs today for a quick

 look at my week!  

1. It's official...I made the cutest shamrock cookies ever! 

2. Spent some time at the library with this little guy.  He loves the legos and running up and down the aisles screaming.  I had to break out in a run a few times to catch him! 

3. I love these rainbows brightening up the back of my classroom!  Pick up this freebie on my TpT page!

4. Is it seriously March already? Catching up on some handwriting practice in the classroom.

5. Working on a blog post about my word wall.  I need to put up a sight word wall, too.  Right now our most frequently used sight words are posted on the Writing Center.  

Have a great weekend!

Thanks to Doodle Bugs Teaching for Linky Party!
