Five for Friday...on a Saturday

I do realize it is Saturday but Blogger would not save, let alone, publish my post for anything yesterday. And I still had trouble with it this morning! ugh!So here it is, my Five For Friday post.... on a Saturday!

I am linking up with none other than Doodle Bugs Teaching for another Five For Friday post!

I finished a new product yesterday and blogged about it. It's how I assess sight words in my Kinder class. You can check out the assessment here and check out the blog post here.

I have been working really hard at growing my TPT business. It's hard work! But I enjoy it! It feels like a hobby.

 Disneyland! Our last trip for the summer. We have annual passes but we blocked out most of the summer. We decided to go for night time trip (we usually go in the morning and leave after lunch time)so we could see the 60th anniversary fireworks. It turned out to be the best thing because it was so hot that day. We missed most of the days heat and had a fun night without the yucky heat.

Have y'all tried this stuff?! It says it will last 14 days but, of course, it didn't. But it did last 10 days before chipping and that is pretty amaze-balls in my eyes. It might have lasted the full 10 days if I hadn't been at the beach and swimming in a chlorinated pool for several of those days.  I was pretty impressed.

What I am reading now. It's very good, I haven't been able to put it down. If you are able to, pick this one up soon! I never have time to read in the school year, I usually listen to my books on an audible account during the school year, so be able to sit down and read is sooooo nice!

 Are you going to Vegas for the teaching conference? I am! I am so so excited I can barely contain myself. Sadly I can't go the blogger meet up because it is during our flight home, but I am excited to meet my most favorite teacher bloggers like Cara Carroll and DeeDee Wills. Who are you excited to meet?

Five For Friday

Wait... what day is it? When I am on summer vacation, I don't even know! It is an amazing perk to get summers off and boy do I live it up!I try my best to spend as much time as possible doing things with my kids as well as things I've been wanting to do or putting off. Like starting this blog back up! Or opening a TPT store! Or writing my very first Five For Friday post after reading everyone else's for years! I am hooking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for this one :) Here we go!




1. Lego Land San Diego

We had never been before but we got the opportunity to go almost free! It was something my son had been dreaming of for a while. We had a good time! The weather was cloudy and on the cool side (the norm for San Diego year round). It doesn't compare in the slightest to Disneyland, which we go to all the time, but once we got over that, we ended up having a blast. I liked that there were no crowds best.





2. LAST day of school was last Thursday!!!! I LIVE for this day! Once May comes and our schedule gets all crazy with special events and rehearsals, all bets are off. I just want the year to end. I am ready for all the crazy to stop being crazy. The bitter sweet part is missing my class and the wonderful ladies I worked with the year. Both my student teacher and my teachers aide are graduating and I am losing them BOTH! Isn't that sad for me?? But definitely good for them. they will go far in life because seriously, they were amazing. I just can't say enough about them except I don't remember what it is like to teach without them. Sad face :( :( :(

3.  Last Tee Ball game. I was talking with one of them omm's on the team and she brought up how tonight was not only the last tee ball game of the season but EVER! Our boys are moving on to Farm in the Fall Ball season. This is a season of lasts, isn't it? I love watching my boy play ball and I am thankful he found something he really loves and is actually quite good at!

4. Chicken coop! In April I *attempted* to hatch chicken eggs with my class. 21 eggs were donated, 11 fit in the inucbator and only ONE hatched! Well, my kids and I fell in love with that one little chick. It it is now 6 weeks old, it's name is Miss Watermelon Heaven (That's blog post for another day, but we call it Melon for short )and here to stay forever. It has been living in a box in my kitchen all this time waiting for summer to begin so my handy hubby could build me this chicken coop. I am so excited! We should be getting eggs by summer's end!

 



5.  Blogilates.
Have you heard of it? I don't even know how I came across it but I am hooked on her exercise routines she posts on youtube. Now that I have time to exercise that is. I am determined to keep up with her monthly exercise plan. I don't know about you but I get super bored with sticking with the same routine. I plan to really mix it up and her routines do that. Plus, I am training the *dog* (yup, mmmm, hmmm) to run a 5k. It seems the *dog* has never run more than a mile straight through sincs high school. So, yeah, that's where we are at with that... ;)

Before I go, I wanted to announce that I have finally started my own TPT store. After being a loyal customer to many of you for years, I thought I'd share what I do in my classroom. It isn't much yet but there will be more coming soon so keep checking back! Here are some fonts I just created! I hope you like them!
