Hey, bloggy buddies! Mandi here linking up with Kacey over at Doodle Bugs for her FIVE FOR FRIDAY! I just love this linky because it’s just a quick snapshot of my week!
So here we go!
MY WHITE BOARD TABLE!!
Over Spring Break we got one table in each class in our school painted with this white board paint and it is AWESOME! The kids love it, it so easy to use and it’s cute!
I can’t wait to post about how I use it in my small groups, one-on-one and tutor time!
Stay posted!
Math tubs!
So Katie over at Queen of the First Grade Jungle got me all hyped up about math stations! Now, don’t get me wrong I have been very dedicated to math stations this year. I love seeing how my students really understand numbers by playing games and not even realizing they are learning! But she posted about why it was so important and it inspired me even more to be more proactive with them and utilize them even better! Come back next week with an overview on how I use my math stations!
In the meantime, check out my little shop for a good deal! I’m throwing a sale now until Sunday on everything in the store! (3/21-3/23)
Check out this big bundle! It’s a monster-themed work station that you can use year-round and it’s on SALE!
Or get prepared for EASTER time with this cute (common core aligned) Easter Excitement bundle!
Making spelling fun!
So this year (being in second grade) has been a big jump from Kindergarten. So I have been scowering Pinterest and the blogging world for some ideas on how to make spelling tests more fun! So before taking our spelling test, my students get to quiz a friend! It is so easy, no prep and they LOVE IT!! One student reads off the word and the student behind them gets to draw it on their back. Win-win! You should try it, your kiddos will thank you!
Holy cuteness!
So my kiddos did a “Movie-themed” program at our school last month and I finally brought Maddox up to see them! My students absolutely LOVED meeting him finally. I thought Maddox would be a little overwhelmed by all the little faces staring at him, but he was the complete opposite. He was such a little ham. He loved the attention from them and just melted as they loved on him and talked to him. It was such a special moment for me to see my two loves come together!
If you follow me on Instagram, you might’ve seen this photo. I found out a DEAR friend of mine and fellow teacher was diagnosed with breast cancer this week and it just breaks my heart. I wanted to show my support by wearing pink (and of course prayer). Sending all my love to you dear friend!
Hope you guys link up!
See ya’ll next week!
Mandi,
So sorry to hear about your friend. I wish her all the best on her journey. Your sweet boy looks adorable and I love what you said about your 2 loves coming together. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your week!
Happy Teaching,
Cassie
