Five For Friday -- August 30


The first week of school is over and I made it!  The kids were wonderful; Mother Nature on the other hand was cruel.  After one of the coolest summers in years, the first week back and it is 90+ degrees.  The kids were just melting. 

So that brings me to my Top Five Things for the first week Back To School….


1.       Thank you to the wonderful parent who took pity on us and donated a brand new air conditioner.  Thank you to our new principal for allowing the new air conditioner because our ceiling fans were not doing the job.  My heart truly goes out to the other teachers in the building, I felt so guilty walking by them.  They were dripping in sweat.  My kids were able to focus and learn some things.  All classrooms should have air conditioners.


2.     This was our art project for the week.  We read, Chrysanthemum, and made our rainbow names.  

Then later in the day, we read, What I Like About Me, and drew our self-portraits.  I put these up in the back of the room under my words, First Grade is Fabulous.  All the pictures look super cute.


3.     I just LOVE this red bench I found at Target.  I can easily move it around the room to sit on.  It is perfect.  The kids like to sit on it too.


4.     I found this free idea on Pinterest and it is a lot of fun.  The children are having a great time sharing fun facts about themselves.  Great Introduction Idea!
Thank Goodness for Starbucks......I think I lived on Iced Passion Lemonade Teas for the past two months.  The Bigger the Better!  They taste so good on a hot day!
