This week Lil Man had a ballet intensive for an hour each day. He really enjoyed it!
We're excited because we finally got all of our pictures hung up in our new apartment.

Differentiation Station has come back to share another freebie with us this week and is sharing our last freebie for the week!

This fun game has students matching numbers up to 10. And as you can guess by the store name...differentiation is built right in!

There's also an extension activity!

Fun & Free Friday (Late Sunday Edition)

So sorry that our Friday post is just now being posted on Sunday! We had a crazy busy Friday and then our internet kept going in and out Friday night and Saturday. No fear though, it is here! Hope you enjoy it even if it is 2 days late! 

Fun
This week was busy but still lots of fun! We spent some family time playing video games! (Yes we are video game junkies!)

Lil Man had the most fun this week! He had dance camp for most of the day Tues-Fri. Each day had a dress up theme too!

Friday evening I had to drag Lil Man to a meeting with me for my "other job." At the end of the meeting, I got a new wallet that I'm in love with!

And now onto everyone's favorite part of our Friday post...

Jessica Osborne shared this great freebie with us!

This great freebie will help you get the ball rolling on your back to school plans! These surveys help you get to know your students at the beginning of the year. And then at the middle and end of the year, it gives your students a chance to reflect on how the class is going, what they like/don't like, and what they want to happen.

Aspire to Inspire brought us this next freebie!

Have you ever play Scattergories? We love that game! This game is similar in design. Players are asked to think of a word for different parts of speech that starts with the chosen letter. Can't wait to use this game!

Erin Palleschi shared our next freebie this week!

This fun themed freebie has students collecting data using tally marks and creating a bar graph! So cute! Think we should have Lil Man do this on our next movie night before we can watch the movie!

Diving into Learning shared our last freebie for the week!

This fun game has students determining whether addition facts up to 5 and up to 10 are true or false in order to be the first to the finish line. What a great way to practice addition fact fluency!

Tuesday...already? Almost Wednesday here...

Due to some technical complications and lots of craziness we were not able to launch our summer line up yesterday. We have decided that we are going to announce the weekly line up today and hopefully a few interactive posts this week. We want to hear from you! Some of it will simply be questions that we are asking and want your opinion on!

Now let's discuss what to look forward to for the Summer line up...
Being home with Lil Man this summer, we're going to try to focus a great deal on fun and educational activities with him. The majority of our posts this summer will be about things we do with him throughout the summer. We're hoping this will be a great resource for parents, babysitters, camp counselors, etc as well as still great stuff for teachers :)

Make It Monday--We will discuss anything that can be made. We will highlight some of our projects over the summer. Each week you may see foods, arts, crafts, etc. Lil Man is excited to debut next week with our first edition of Make It Monday with his small, quick Tank craft!

 

Teacher Feature Tuesday--Each Tuesday (June-July) we will feature a new teacher (TpT teacher-author and blogger {blog is not required}). We're hoping to continue this weekly feature after July, depending on how many responses we get so keep them coming! (So far it's looking pretty good!) If you would like to be one of our featured teachers, please complete the form! This will be a fun way to get to know other TpT teacher-authors and bloggers in the cyber world!

Wired Wednesday--We are going to be working on researching various technology (devices, programs, apps, etc) to share with you. We will be doing reviews and/or tutorials for different technology. We will be adding polls to ask for input on what you'd like to see next!

Thoughtful Thursday--Each Thursday we will discuss things that will get the kiddos thinking! Most of the time this weekly post will have a subject (reading, language arts, math, science, social studies) theme.

Fun & Free Friday--We will share something fun we have done with Lil Man. This may include things such as a game, nature walk, or going to the zoo. We will also be sharing some TpT freebies each week! If you would like your freebie to be featured, please fill out the form.

Weekend Wrap-Up--For our weekend posts we will share things that we did throughout the week that didn't make it onto a different themed day, but that we really want to share. We will also review snippets of our weekly posts and look forward on what's to come!


We are so excited about this new schedule!! Are you ready??
