Five for Friday

I am linking up with Doodle Bug Rocks for Five for Friday!
This is where I am headed today.  My flight leaves at 11:00.  I am super excited because it is the first time I have ever been to Las Vegas and it is the first time I have ever been on a all girl trip.  So pumped!!!!  Don’t get me wrong, I travel here and there, but it is always with my family.  So it is a big deal to me to take my first ever girl trip at 36 years old.  A little secret:  I think the hubs is stressing a little about having to take care of the girls all by himself, but he will never admit it {ha}!!!!
Next up, I am really excited about this blogger exchange that is going on at A Teaspoon of Teaching.  There is still time for you to join in on the fun!!!  She is partnering up bloggers to exchange a Halloween treat with one another.  I can’t wait to see what goodies I get!!!!  Be sure to join in I think it is going to be spooktacular!!!
My third thing is we had our Fall Carnival at school last night.   It was fun, but I am glad it is over.   It takes a lot of work to get all the games and stuff together.  I think the kids had a blast.  More pictures to come later, so be sure to check back.

Rainbow Loom!!  No need to say more.  I have heard about the rainbow loom from all of my students.  They have rubberband bracelets, necklaces, rings, shoestring.  Have the kids at your school been talking about the Rainbow Loom???  Well my own two kids go to another school and it is all the craze there too. So I finally bought the girls one, and we spent a good part of our Saturday night making rubberband bracelets.  They had to give me a lesson on how to do it, because being old and all I couldn’t figure it out {ha}!  I must confess, I think I am a pretty good loomer!!!
This past weekend my oldest had a dance performance at a local festival called the Revel.  It was a lot of fun.  After her performace, we walked around and looked at all the locals arts and crafts.  They even have a huge section for kids to make crafts and play games.  It was a lot of fun!
As always thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.  I can’t wait to read your Five for Friday.  I {heart} followers and comments!!!

This is how many students act in 2026. Teachers will identify with every single one of the students I portray here. Funny teacher video.

So what is this you might ask? It is my last minute version of a craft for Ground Hogโ€™s Day. I canโ€™t be the only one who decides the day of to do a craft and wing it, right? It looks more like a bear๐Ÿคฃbut it was suppose to be a groundhog with facts about Ground Hogโ€™s Day. No directions required just pull construction paper and glue. Youโ€™re welcome!๐Ÿ˜‰ ...

One of my most favorite boards in my classroom is this ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป bulletin board right here! This is how it looks at the beginning of each year. As the year progresses I hang student art work and writings up. At the end of the year I take the work off and it is in order, neat and tidy, and students now have a portfolio of their best 2nd grade work. The bright folders I use to match my classroom theme are cut in half and the sign is just typed up in PowerPoint.

Here is a link to the bright file folders I used on this board (I use the extra folders to keep stuff stored in my filing cabinet): amzn.to/4mS2GhY
