Five for Friday!

Five for Friday! Wahoo! 

Not just 5 pictures this week, but ... 5 pounds after all the yummy stuff from students!

We have had fun reading a variety of fairy tales. Students completed a characteristics of fairy tales chart and then selected two projects from Differentiated Tales Choice Board from 

Teaching with a Mountain View. 

For RTI, we divide our students into small group intervention and large group enrichment. This time I had a large group. We continued with adaptations, plant adaptations, specifically...Carnivorous Plants!

We watched a Discovery Education video. Then, students completed the super cute creativity from Teach n' Texas! Students were botanists that discovered a new carnivorous plant...and 

designed a seed packet!

They loved this!

Target Dollar Section!!!!! Love it! I found these coupon holders. They are perfect for my task cards!

Also saw them at Walmart, but not these cute colors.

Having tons of fun with order of operations! My students are really catching on. I'm impressed that they are actually writing down every step. Usually, it's painful trying to get them to write down the steps. I used the Dad's Worksheets to get my problems. Then, it was bowling time. I put students into groups and they had to work the problem. If their team got the problem right, they sent a representative up to bowl! The number of pins knocked down = the number of points.

My fun goodies for the week!

(Ummm, yes, that is a chocolate dipped Twinkie!)

For teacher appreciation week, my daughter and I made wreaths for her teachers. This was my first attempt at the mesh wreaths. Pretty fun and easy. My daughter and I watched a You Tube video on how to create the wreath. We were cracking up! The lady told us to "floof it" and "don't be gentle, you tell it where you want it to go."

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all!
