I skipped out on posting my Five for Friday last week because I was busy with our school's annual auction. This is our school's largest fundraiser and it was another success!  We have a huge selection of items that people donate and we have class projects that are always a big hit. Each year I paint a cross with my first graders. This was our finished project. It raised $136 this year. Each child picked a color and painted with "their color" then it had a fingerprint sheet that listed each child's name and color. 

Here is a look at part of the silent auction room. The live auction is held in a different part of the building. 

I also donated two groups of notecards and a  gift certificate to Doodle Bugs Paper.

One of the first units I teach at the beginning of school is Dogs. But, I also always read Go Dog Go in February. So, we did a few dog activities last week. 

I have decided this bulletin board is crooked! I really tried to get a straight picture but it is impossible. 
We made these precious dogs for our hall bulletin board. I have made these a few times over the years. This is an old art project {now renamed as craftivity} that my mom has had for years that she passed down to me. I just love them! 

We had a little fun with this cool dude this week...

Bad News.. my beloved laptop bit the dust this week. I was hoping it was having a bad day.. nope.. It's gone. 

The good news it was Ebates pay time.. and this will pay a big chunk of a new laptop. Yippie! I share every four months when I get my "Big Fat Check" that you are CRAZY if you shop online and don't use Ebates.

Just in case you missed hearing.. Teachers Pay Teachers is having a HUGE sale! Everything in my store is on sale! Enter code TPT3 during checkout for every more savings!
