Five for Fri/Saturday :)

I'm linking up (even though it's a day late) with Doodle Bugs Teaching for

I can't believe the week that a lot of us in the south have had!  We were out for three days in a row for the Ice-pocalypse...otherwise known as PAX that swept through our little town.  We even made national news for the destruction that took place.  I'm sitting here on the sofa and for the third day in a row, I can hear chainsaws in the background.  Luckily for me, we have had power for all except one day. Many of my friends still are without power.

This is a before and after picture of the most famous road in my city:

I just drove down there a few hours ago and things are beginning to look a little better.

Then....to top things off....last night we had an EARTHQUAKE!  What?

I'm ready for things to return to "normal" soon.

During some of this extra time off, I've picked up the book Word Nerds by Brenda Overturf, Leslie Montgomery and Margot Smith.

I first heard about this book from my friend, Tara from 4th Grade Frolics.  Check out her post {here} to read all about it.

How can this work for me when I teach math?  It's perfect!  There are so many activities that can be applied to learning content-rich vocabulary.

Don't worry...I've also spent some time watching plenty of movies during these "snow days".

I watched The Butler three times!  It's THAT good.

Finally, I had a chance to finish my next Math Menu: Measurement file!

My students started this menu last week and should finish next week...but it looks like I will have to extend it for a bit due to our three days off last week.

My students have been completing their math menus during their "Math Facts" rotation during Math Workshop.  They also work on these activities when they are finished with tests and need something to do while others are still working.

And, just as I have done in the past, I'm giving you a chance to Pin It to Win It :)
