Primary Teaching Ideas, Resources and Strategies

5 for Friday!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week!  We went back to school on Monday so it has been a l-o-n-g, busy week.. a good week… but a very, very busy one!

Last weekend my parents had a huge family party at their house.  My sister and her family came into town, which is always fun!  They also had my aunts uncle, cousins and all of their kids over.  It was a really great “family fun” day.

The kids spend the entire day outside.
Most of the day was spent in the pool.  However, they also spent lots of time fishing and enjoyed a huge water balloon fight.
At the end of the day, someone got the idea to have the kids dive for pennies at the bottom of the pool.  Somehow, the “pennies” turned into a ton quarters, dimes and nickles.
As we started laughing about how expensive this game was getting, my cousin started throwing in dollar bills.  This was a huge hit with the big kids!
At one point he hurled a credit card into the pool too. It was so funny.  All around, a perfect day.

 

 
Monday was the first day back to school.  I have made lots of progress in my room… but you will have to trust me until next week since this is the only photo I took of my classroom all week.
 I saw this on Facebook last night and couldn’t stop laughing.  SO funny!
 (Thanks for the laugh Teaching in Progress!)
We have actually had more time in our classrooms this year than any other year.  It has been wonderful… but I think most teachers can relate to this feeling at one time or another ;).
 
Last night a huge group of teachers from school got together to go see the movie Bad Moms.
I think there were 23 teachers that went.  We figured out that we had teachers from every grade level and every team.  It was SO MUCH FUN.  The movie was hilarious.  There is some off color language but it is hilarious!  We have never had such a big group get together outside of school before and it was awesome!  We are hoping to make it a monthly thing this year.

If I wasn’t tired enough this week, after I got home from school Monday I read about a grant opportunity through Target and Donors Choose. It sounded exciting and I was inspired. I tend to get things done quickly and do pretty good work… but I do it all at once… and it can be a little exhausting.  (Especially during the first week back to school!)

Anyway, I wound up writing two Donors Choose grants for my classroom!
Kindergarten Kids- Wiggling Our Way to Healthy Learning and
Tiny Teachers: Playing and Learning Our Way to Healthy Habits, which only needs $97 more to be fully funded!!

All donations made to my projects before August 9 will be matched by Donors Choose when the code LIFTOFF is used… in case you know anyone who might be interested in donating.  🙂

Finally, I am putting my #1 seller on sale this weekend!
It includes 40 different character traits!  So, you can focus on a different trait each week… or you can just pick and choose the traits that your school focuses on.
There are 2 different posters, a writing prompt, and “caught being good” slips included for each of the 40 character traits.
              
You can grab this on sale through Monday HERE.
Have a fabulous weekend!!

    First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!
