Five For Friday!

It has been too long, so I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Five for Friday!!

I started teaching summer school on Monday.  It was hard getting right back into teaching, but the kiddos that are there need my support!  Push on!!  (next week is only 3 days, phew!!)

Summerfest is upon us that live here in Wisconsin... I love music!! Can't wait to catch a few bands like Empire of the Sun, and MGMT next week!  Wahoo!!

I spent 4 days in Nashville for a wedding.  We had such a great time being tourist.  I would highly recommend a visit there!

My end of the year gifts turned out fab!  I was thinking of just doing the crazy cup/straw with kool-aid and a note....

but then I went for a slideshow too! The kiddos and parents absolutely loved it.  I would do this every year now.  It brings tears to my eyes!

Lastly - please follow me using bloglovin!  It's the newest fad!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

iPad App Visual!

Just wanted to stop by and give you a quick tip on iPad app management.    I always had the problem of find all of these great apps, and then having to add them to the home screen or a folder, so then kids knew what to use, but still at the mercy of them opening, closing, opening, closing...repeat...repeat.... so enter iiiinnnnn..... iPad choice board!

It's amazing!  I just print a screen shot of the app, add it to the right section (we do Word Work, Read to Self and Math)  Velcro and then waalaaahh!  or wuhlah?  hmm.  either way, it works pretty smoothly even for Kindergarten!  :)

Maniac Monday!

Hello?  Anyone there?  Yes I am!  This month has been crazy busy.  From testing PALS, MAPS, & Running Records, and now onto report cards I am so ready to check out - and I am sure my kiddos are too!  They are doing a great job!

We also had our end of the year kindergarten program, and my Mom's surprise 60th which all went great!!

So I have my reasons right?!!

Here is a new way to show off your cool QR codes:  so neat!

How funky is that?

There are so many apps out there, but what does what?  Here is a nice flow chart to break it down.... Even I found this super useful!!

That's it for now - off to make dinner!  Tonight it is Beef and Snow Peas:  here is the recipe!  Have a great Monday folks!

Five For Friday!

Oh boy what a week!  If you saw my previous post I slammed my fingers in my car door so I am dealing with some pain and it doesn't make it easy!  But in the scheme of things I will survive!!!  (I feel like breaking out in song...haha)

My Five For Friday!

1.  We have started our count down of the ABC's and the kids are LOVING it!  Today we had Q and U together to celebrate their wedding!  Yeah!!!

When they came in....

Welcome All!!!  (I played Cannon in D while they walked in...) :)

------

Their wedding cake!

Dance time!  Let's learn the square dance (qu word!)

2.  My fingers, they hurt.  I waited and waited to go to urgent care.... I am very anxious about doctors!  But I went and it's still in pain...  No major surgery needed, hehe.

3.  18 days left of school!  18!!!

4.  I finished PALS and MAP testing.  WAHOOO!!  I am so proud of my Kinders!!  One more round of running records to go, well, and then report cards.... Anyone else in the same testing boat?

5.  TGIF.  I am happy the weekend is here and I can regroup myself with my hubby and my puppy.  I am thankful for my little family....

5.5  Here is a freebie for you!!

Insured list!

Put me on the teams injured list....  I have one hurt hand!  On Sunday as I was putting away groceries my car door got abruptly shut right onto my hand.  OUCH!  That's right.  It hurt like heck!   I have two black and blue fingers, and the paint hasn't stopped.....Therefore typing has not been the easiest at all or teaching K for that matter! ,hang in there though, tomorrow is q and u's wedding!


P.s.  notice the odd typing?  Yep that courtesy of the left hand having to take over....it's having a hard time....  Haha

My Week and a Mother's Day Freebie!

Today is Sunday which means scheduling Sunday.....  I love Dee Dee Wills Peek at her week, so I have been trying my best to keep that rolling.  This week I have PALS testing for Kindergarteners, a half day, and MAP testing!  OH BOY!

This week we are learning about Plants, and Worms!  We currently use Foss Science in our school district, and worms is a requirement... it will be interesting as this is my first Worm unit!  But I sure love Plants!!

See all that testing?  Ughh... my poor Kinders!!!

Here is the Mother's Day Writing Pack we are working on, and it's totally Free!  I made one for Mom and one for Grandma.   Staple together to form a book, and then this
