Monday Made-It...Tuesday Post-It

Happy Summer y'all!

I hope you are enjoying your summer and for those of you not quite out yet, I'm soooo sorry!  It's coming soon though from what I hear!  While looking at Instagram, I see many of you still in school!  I can't even imagine!!!

We've been busy around here doing ab-so-lute-ly nothing!!  And...it feels good to do nothing!  I can't say I've been a total couch potato because I have been working on a writing unit and dabbling in some QR math centers.

For Monday Made-It with 4th Grade Frolics, I made something I saw on Pinterest {of course!}! It's not a Made-It for the classroom though, but I love it!  During summer, we get to do so many things on our to-do list!  I'm not really sure what to call it so I'll just show this pic!

Nice, huh?!  I really love it!  I put it on the front entryway table.  And, do you see that monarch butterfly right in front?  My step-father hand-carved it and painted it!  It's Wood!!!  It's really hard  to believe because it is SO detailed!

Head over and link up with Tara for. . .

Mother's Day, LGA Linky, and...A WINNER!

      Happy Mother's Day, y'all!  I hope you have had a great day of spoiling and pampering!

      I'm linking up this beautiful Mother's Day with Lotoya at Flying Into First quickly and then heading out to a nice dinner with the fam!

                                      

      Her questions this week are:

1.  What made you decide to become a teacher?

2. What has been your most rewarding experience as a teacher?

3. If you were not a teacher, what would you be?

1.  I originally wanted to be a speech-language pathologist, but one day, I just decided that I wanted to be a teacher!  It was just sort of like, "Yes, that's what I want to be!"

2.  I love when those students who have struggled finally get it!  That little light bulb moment is priceless!  I love being able to share the joy of just being a kid!

3.  If I was not a teacher, I would love to be a photographer!  I love taking pictures!  Follow me on instagram:

Five for Friday...Flashback {May 10 edition}

Tweet

      Happy Friday y'all!   This has been a really long week.  It was just Tuesday and felt like it should be Friday already!  We have sooo much end of the year stuff going on that I just feel exhausted thinking about it.  And, I don't think next week will be any better!  I will have no - none - zilch - absolutely no planning at all next week.  Ugh!  I'm sooo not looking forward to that!  But, on the brighter side, we only have ten days of school left!!  Yipee!!

      Friday also means linking up with Amanda at Teaching Maddeness and Doodle Bugs Teaching.  I just love these two linkys!!

                                      

      We are anxiously waiting for our caterpillars to turn into butterflies.  They should be in the pupa stage when we return on Monday.  I sure hope we don't miss them hatching since we only have ten days of school left!  I can't complain though!  They were a gift from a sweet mom/teacher who sent them down as a surprise when we returned from our butterfly center field trip last week.  The caterpillars are really getting big and were starting to make their way to the top of the container today!  So exciting!!

      Were you spoiled for Teacher's Appreciation this week?  I hope so!  Our school, PTO, Partners in Education, and parents really spoiled all of us!  I wish I had gotten some pics, but I wasn't thinking apparently!  So, I give you this:

      My son rescued a cute kitty this past week!  We fell in love!  Well, almost all of us!  My sweet hubby would say, "Who is you little friend We?"  He did not fall in love!  We kept it overnight, but that was it.  The mister found a forever home very quickly!  A man, from his work, and his wife fell in love with the pics because it reminded them of a kitty they had many years ago.  They decided to name it - Mira, but pronounced more like Mirror because she was a mirror image of their former kitty!  Sweet!

      We also this week got to try out Adventure to Fitness!  It was soooooo much fun!!!  I blogged about it HERE!  If you haven't tried it with your kids, you must try it!  The kids love it!  

                                       

      And, for Mother's Day, we made ceramic tiles with their handprints.  They turned out so cute!  

      All I did was use 6x6 ceramic tiles, acrylic craft paint, a Sharpie, and clear spray enamel.  Easy peasy!  And mom's everywhere like to be reminded of how sweet their little one's hands are!   They can hang them up, use as a coaster, or trivet, or anything they'd like!

I hope your week was great!  Can't wait to read about it!!

Oh, and there's one more day to enter my giveaway!  Enter before it's too late!!!!

Instagram Fun

      So...it was back to the real world after my wonderful, awesome, not-long-enough spring break!  Now, we only have 19 more days of school!  Whoop-whoop!  I really am going to be sad to see this sweet bunch of kiddos go!  But, so excited for summer!  This will be the first summer in a couple of years that I have not had to work on grad school classes!

      On another note...do you instagram?  I so, so love this app!  Now, I have The Bomb-Diggity Classroom on instagram!  Come follow me and join in the fun!

      I am so excited to link up with What the Teacher Wants and Apples and ABC's for their #teachertalktuesday.  The idea is to post a pic that you want to share every Tuesday with the hashtag #teachertalktuesday so that we all can connect with teachers around the world to see what they are up to.  

Sound fun, right?

      Here are a few of my favorite pics:

Flowers from my sweet hubby!

You might as well... :)

My little math team!  So smart!!

            Now, head over and join the party!  It's going to be so fun to see #teachertalktuesday in action!  See you tomorrow!  :)

Till next time...
