Plans for the Week of May 11th

We are still finishing up plants this week.  Our sunflower sprouts are looking pretty floppy.  I hope they make it to Spring Exhibit!  I am bringing in some yarn and larger plastic cups.  I am hoping I can tie them to the popsicle sticks in their pods and that will give them a bit more time inside.

 I just closed on my new house last week.  If you would like to follow my house journey, I set up a separate Instagram account called Every_Day_Erica.  My goal is to eventually start another blog, but I cannot keep up with this one!  So maybe in the summer.

Here are my plans for the week!  Click to download:
Here are the packets I am using this week:

I am linking up with my pal Deedee again!

    Wow! I am impressed with your visual plans! Do your kids not get any recess at all? I thought my lunch (12:50pm) was late but 1:20? Everyone must be starving. And you are so lucky all your specials are at the same time. Mine are a mess. 9:!5, 9:50 (?!), 9:30, and 1:35. Wack! Thanks for sharing your talent! Your organization and artistic flair are inspirational!

Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok. Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok.” to an apology but it is never ok to hurt a fellow student’s feelings, body, or to make them uncomfortable. 

“I accept your apology.” Is a good way for students to move past it if they are willing to do so. 

What do you have your students say?
