Five for Friday: Is it over yet?

This week will certainly be an unforgettable. Lots happened... that I will never forget.

But, thank goodness that Friday comes at the end of every week!

Here is what we have been up too this week!

one:

Happy 100th day of school! We celebrated on Monday. 

My favorite part is always counting out our snack! I love how organized some kids are in making their 5 groups... and others just don't care. ;)

two:

This weekend I worked on a new station for word study. We have only covered the Long A and E vowel teams, but I went ahead and made cards for every vowel team we will be covering! 

My kids have enjoyed using the Long A and E cards!

three:

After a very interesting beginning of the week, my kids had an amazing Thursday!

We celebrate with our first "recess reward" an incentive time I pull out later in the year when things start to get a little crazy. Instead of waiting til Friday, I had to take advantage of the positives.

So I got some big pieces of paper and the kids had fun with chalk! 

four:

When I conference with my kids I want to leave them with something to remind them of what we chatted about... So I made these reading comprehension bookmarks!

And they are FREE!!

You can read more about them here

or click on the picture to download them!

five:

I don't often make it through a whole book with both of them on my lap, but I am glad that these two are around to keep me company! ;) Alex likes to read 4-5 books before bed (mostly to prolong bedtime!) but Liam still climbs up and down at least 5 million times throughout one book! He does love to come bring books to wherever I am sitting, but we normally only make it through a couple of pages before he loses interest. That is how Alex used to be, so I know it's only a matter of time before I get to have both of them on my lap for a whole book! :)

Happy Friday!
