I am linking up with Kacey again for Five for Friday! Here are five random things about my week:
1. I feel like crud! I have a terrible cold. Last night, I stuck tissues up my nose just so I could go to sleep without nose-leakage! Gross
2. We are having some contraction fun this week with Cara Carroll’s Crazy for Contraction Unit. I made her “Contraction Crocodile” into an art center. The kids loved it!
3. My students need to move. I have been creating more centers that allow them to walk around the room with clip boards. I am even starting to make math centers that way. The kids love them and I feel the movement helps them stay focused.
The above center is only $1 on TpT!
This center is not available yet. I am going to include it in an upcoming place value packet.
4. Do you remember that episode of Modern Family where Claire and her brother recreate a childhood photo for their dad’s birthday or maybe it was Father’s Day? Well, I thought that would be a cool thing to do for my mother’s birthday! I found the same vintage birthday hats on Etsy. So, 29 years later…
5. I did my first video tutorial yesterday! If you want to hear my New York accent, go check it out 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Erica, I am cracking up because I put a picture of a tissue box as my first pic on my 5 for Friday-back to work and get a cold-YUCK! I hope you feel better. I LOVE your family pic. I can't believe you found the exact same hats online. It was meant to be! Have a great weekend!

I am DYING over that picture of you and your brothers – that's awesome and I'm sure she loved it! As for staying healthy, you MUST buy Wellness Formula from Amazon. You take one everyday, but if you start to feel gross, you can take a ton more to fight off the bad stuff. A-MA-ZING! Feel better soon!

Lucky to Be in First!
P.S. Loving my new printer, by the way!

Oh no, I hope your cold goes away soon. Runny noses are so horrible! It's so hard to teach when you need to grab a tissue every few seconds. On another note, I am SO excited for your place value unit!!!
