Five for Friday- Jan 15

Happy Friday! I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for some Five for Friday fun!!


 We started the Table Olympics this week!!!! WOOOOO!!!  What are the Table Olympics you ask?? Well, just an awesome way to learn about the Olympics, how to handle not always winning, and have some fun beating the cold cold weather while inside! BOOM! We started on Wednesday and had 3 total competitions this week: stacking 12 cubes into a tower, linking 20 links, unlinking 20 links.







 On Tuesday and Thursday we did a little differentiated math work at the end of the day.  The kids had a GREAT time walking around "adding the room."  I promised them a super special snowman sticker if they got everything correct- it worked!!! Handed out a sticker to most students today!







Today we took a little time to slow down and relax and just do something fun.  My group this year really loves to do art, so I taught them how to cut out snowflakes.  We went through so much paper!  They loved it and now the room will look awesome (once we hang them up that is...)



 
Today was also the Winter Talent Show!! We have some super talented kids at our school.  From dancing, to singing, to drumming- they can do it all!  Here is our principal doing the Whip and Nae Nae on stage with some students. 





Did you see the video of Ron Clark dancing with his students?? Who didn't, right? He's amazing.  Well, I MIGHT have posted that, which ended up with my principal being roped into it BUT he was more than willing! (I might have been on stage too...)
Lastly, here's a little non school love for my dog Allie who ran like crazy with her sheep dog friend Frances at the dog park on Monday! They are so cute!  And some other shots of her.  Enjoy!





Happy 3 day weekend!!

  1. I love your Table Olympics idea! How fun! Your room will look magical once you get all the snowflakes hung. If it were me, I'd get around to it around the time spring is warming up. I'm TERRIBLE and that sort of thing. I always have good intentions, though...
