Happy Friday.. it was a 4 day week that seemed to last forever! Boy, it was a long week. Let the weekend begin!
1.We had a great Easter- and I enjoyed some down time with family. I am even blessed that the Easter Bunny still comes to fill my basket.
2. It was so nice to have Monday off and enjoy a day of catching up on chores. I spent an hour or so at school Monday morning {in the quietness of my classroom} getting my lesson plans written and getting everything organized.
3. We spent some time doing some true/false activities using math facts this week.
The cut & paste sheet above is in my last set of math review sheets.
4. On Thursday, we got to go watch a local production of the Wizard of Oz and the kids loved it. Every year the local Garden Club puts on a children’s play and they do a fabulous job. We really enjoyed it.
5. We made some little frogs today for our hall board. Before I gave the directions on putting them “together” this is how I found two students had arranged their pieces. Really?? A day in first grade never surprises me! HA!
Here are the finished frogs- looking much better!
Enjoy your weekend! Post your “Five for Friday” and link up below!
Oh goodness! I love your frogs - super cute. :) We are working on true/false in math, too! So fun that the Easter bunny still visits you. :)

Those frogs are hilarious! I have a few kids who would do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the Easter Bunny just great?
ReplyDeleteLove the little frogs! They are adorable! Googly eyes are the best!

Those frogs are ADORABLE!! The first ones cracked me up!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a super long 4 day week. I like your true/false math activity.
ReplyDeleteThose frogs are super cute! You know there are always going to be one or two "unique" creations...LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am a little bit jealous that you still get an Easter basket. My four year old asked why she, her sister, and her daddy get baskets but not Mommy. Daddy's basket quickly became Mommy and Daddy's basket!
Have a great weekend!

The frogs are so fun even the "special" ones! Looks like you got a lot done! Good for you! I always feel behind. I have report cards looming right now. Can't seem to get going on those! LOL!

Love the funky frogs! (Cannot even imagine what my second graders would come up with before directions...ours would probably look like the two even AFTER directions!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I like your true/false sort. My third graders need to do the same thing but with more difficult equations. Thanks for the idea!

Love those frogs. I really like the artistic interpretation of those two frogs without directions. :) I had a few kiddos who love to jump to it and have their own ideas about how something should be put together. It 's always so cute to see. Usually they think it looks just right. That's one of the many reasons why first grade is so fun! I just linked up with you!

I have one more question i am new to blogging but you are helping me lots. How do you get the post to do words then pic then words then pic etc. mine puts all pics together and i can't figure out how to put them by the text they should be by?
ReplyDeleteThe frogs are super cute! I also had Monday off. It was SO nice. However, it didn't seem to make the week feel any shorter than usual. But we made it through! :)

I finally got motivated to join your awesome linky party. I took a ton of pictures this week of work my class was doing, and even though I am feeling under the weather, I wanted to share them. The Five for Friday is the perfect place to do so! Hope you have a great Saturday and Sunday:)
