Five for Friday~See How I Wasted My Spring Break :)
Yeah, you read that right. Wasted.
Like…poof, it’s gone 🙁
I had such grandiose ideas about how I would get so many things accomplished. Welp, nadda. nothing. zilch. was marked off of that ever-growing “To Do” list.
So, what did I do?
I spent half of my time sick in the bed. You don’t need a picture of that…
Instead, for Doodle Bugs’ Five for Friday, I will show you what my family did.
We have a little golf tournament in the neighboring town. You might have heard of it. It might just be on your TV right now. Or not.
My husband, his parents, and my daughter went on Monday to the practice rounds.
Later this week, when we were hanging out outside, my son decided to show us just how much of a monkey he truly can be. He decided to hang out in the beautiful Dogwood tree between my house and the neighbor’s house.
See, he truly is a monkey:
That little monkey is now sick on the sofa 🙁 Poor baby.
Now that I’m feeling a little better, I’m scrambling to get things ready for next week. I am expecting four different observations. One of those is from our local business partners and they will be video taping me. Yikes!
So, I’ve been working on plans, laminating, cutting out and putting together Ashleigh’s new Earth Day Math Centers.
And, I found the cutest little video that will explain the difference between mass and weight a whole lot easier than I can. Don’t you just love You Tube? Someone else can sing for my kiddos, and I can just lip-sync. Score!
My to-do list is still sitting in my school bag, untouched…I think I've got the Sunday night blues, on a Friday. Just down to a regular old weekend now!NatalieTeachery Tidbits
Four observations in one week – that is crazy! I hope you got to go shopping for a new outfit at least if you are going to be videotaped!Looking From Third to Fourth
I know…it's so sad 🙁
Yeah, I'm in the running for Teacher of the Year for my district. So the panel of judges have to come through and observe me. So, new outfits seemed appropriate….at least that's what I told my husband 😉
I think youtube is the best thing that ever happened to teaching! Okay, so one of them, LOL! :)So sorry to hear that you wasted your break sick. Yuck! Good luck with the observations! ErinI'm Lovin Lit

Hey You,Thanks for stopping by my blog…glad you give you a giggle. I don't teach the metric system to my little firsties, but I do show video/songs to my kiddos for lots of different concepts. It's so powerful and it seems to stick more than anything else I do…Happy weekend!HollyCrisscross Applesauce in First Grade

I was sick on my spring break too! :C Maybe that happens because it's the only time our bodies get to slow down and relax. I definitely think new outfits are appropriate for your observations. Best of luck to you! (Even though I've been reading your blog for awhile, I am your newest follower! :)JenniferMrs. Laffin's Laughings
That is great that you are running for Teacher of the Year – I have my fingers crossed for you. I don't have a cool youtube video for you but I was looking up some books and found that Brian Cleary has activities for his books and there is a cute little quiz for metric and customary measurements – it might be to simple for your class but just thought you might like it.http://www.brianpcleary.com/math/index.html(sorry for starting a new comment – couldn't reply to my old one)Looking From Third to Fourth
Thanks for the well wishes and good vibes all of you are sending my way this week! I truly appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers:)
