Can you believe May is already here? I'm in shock! We don't get out until mid-June, but May still symbolizes the end of the year because this is testing month. We actually only have one more full week of instruction before SOLs begin May 16. Once SOLs begin, I don't pull kids anymore. Craziness!
Anyway, with the beginning of the month comes Farley's Currently (which you know I have to join). Plus, it's Friday, so I'm going to do my Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs Teaching. Hey, I'm home for the day, so I've got time for this!
I'm pretty sure I can explain everything in my Five for Friday, so it will be mixed in there. I'm going to do this a little backwards this week.
3. I did some TPT work this week! First, I updated my Candy Awards and am so proud of the new look!
4. I participated in my first #teachertalktuesday linky on instagram this week! This is the main idea center from my Spring Literacy Centers. I always have four main ideas and three details to match. Students have to sort them. I did this with one of the third grade classes that I push into, and they loved it! We did the black and white version (I have a color option I laminate for centers), and the kids enjoyed coloring in the pictures after they glued.
5. Last weekend, we spent most of Saturday sorting tons of bags and things for our yard sale we're doing tomorrow. We head to Steven's parents for it because they live in a bigger neighborhood that does a community yard sale in the spring and fall. We'll be pricing and all that fun stuff tonight. If you live in the Richmond area, come out to Summer Walk Parkway in Mechanicsville and check out our stuff!
Now I'm going to attempt to get off the couch and do a little bit of cleaning. Our house desperately needs vacuuming, and laundry has piled up again. I feel like I just finished laundry...
Hi Melissa, Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friend! Let me echo everyone and say I hope you feel better! Also, YOU HAVE MY BUTTON ON YOUR BLOG! So exciting! Thanks for making it for me =)
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't envy you with no voice! Thoughts and prayers that you are better by Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you are all better and ready for tomorrow's singing. I hope all went well in your Yard Sale and you made some fun "summer" cash. And I know what you mean about laundry...it never stops...really can't wait for summer when maybe there are less clothes!?! Gonna check out your main idea and details pack. That always seems to be one skill that they get confused on. Thanks!
