I’m linking up with Doodle Bug’s Five for Friday linky party to give you a quick peak of my week.
Have a look at my very own five random things from this week and head over to Doodle Bugs if you’d like to check out other bloggers five random pics.
You know you’re nearing the end of the school year when your pencils start getting a little ratty, tooth bitten and dinged up. I think it’s time to hit the local golf course up for a donation.
We love studying dinosaurs. A pteranodon had a wing span as wide as 33 feet or 8 kinders long. (You never know what my class might be doing when you walk down our hall.)
Over half the class has passed ball words (that 220 sight words) and we don’t want to loose that fluency so it’s on to Speed Racers. A favorite coordinating activity…Speed Bump!
My wish for next year . . . more and more and more leveled readers please! Even though my baskets are 3/4 of the way full, you can really never have too many. Can you?
Can’t quite imagine anything more random than my family’s successful attempt 3 generations of spoon balancing on Mother’s Day.
And just because my kinders having being going crazy over telling time, I had to zip up something for them to use during these dinosaur days we’re having. I know it’s not common core for kinder, but they love it and it does rationalize why we need to count by 5s. Besides, who doesn’t love a write the room.
Hope you had a great week. I have a little secret . . . you’re not gonna want to miss my post tomorrow. It’s fun and it’s something you could win! Shhhh. You’ll just have to wait to check it out.
Until then, don’t forget to check out all the other fun blogs linking up this week for Five for Friday.
Funny about the pencils…we were up at McGuires this winter!
No Way! That’s a hoot.

I know Cindy. I want to shout it from the roof tops!!!! I will gladly make a home for any and all abandoned level readers . . . Please let me adopt them for my own library.

I LOVE the idea of using old cd cases for your spinners!! The you can change the inside to whatever you need. One question though, how do you attach the spinner to the outside of the cd case?
A little tape and you’re good to go.

Haha! I just love the littlest guy with his spoon hanging on his nose, like it’s just the easiest thing in the world. I showed by family that picture and we all tried it but the spoons fell every time. They think you must’ve glue those spoons on! So what’s your secret? 🙂

The pencils made me laugh! Love the post! How do you level your readers? I was trying to figure it out.
I always love when you share whats going on in your room! Always gives me a new idea. 🙂

Wow! The telling time activity looks like a lot of fun! Can I ask what computer program you use to make your activities?
