We love Five for Friday and we're finally linking up again after...Forever! Our annual first grade "Wonderful Weather" show was a hit! It's the perfect culmination to all of our weather learning! These productions always take some time to pull together, but the kids do such a great job! Unfortunately, their teachers didn't do as great of a job hanging onto the show banner last year. We'd had it for many years and we have a feeling we tossed it before school started thinking we'd just make a ... VIEW POST

Five for Friday…What a Week!
Today seems like a great day to join... Plus, our brains can handle a list of 1 to 5 right about now... NOPE...Not for us...Not even close! We ran in our annual Jogathon this week! This is by far our most favorite school event and the easiest school fundraiser we know! Make a track, build some hype, and let them run for fun... and mon-ey. If we raise our needed funds, the kids have voted to Slime the Principal! Our community helpers show up to cheer our first graders on too. Plus, they ... VIEW POST
5 for Friday ~ Polar Vortex Style
We are linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching again for Five for Friday. It was back to the daily grind for these two girls this week. All week. 5 full days.

Auditory Activities for Little ... VIEW POST

5 for Friday Whirlwind
Fridays just keep coming and we just keep opening the door. Come right in Friday... Our welcome mat is dusted and our arms are open wide. We're linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for 5 fabulously random pieces from our whirlwind of a week. Picture Day! That exclamation mark was for effect. We aren't really that excited. We spend the week leading up reading some of our favorite stories about taking school pictures. This year, they adored Mrs. Toggle's Class Picture Day the best. It's about ... VIEW POST
5 for Friday!!
We feared this Friday would never come. This was our first full week of school. We made it. Phewf! We're excited to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching to share some of this past week's first grade fun! We've had an awesomely, exhausting week... How about you? We always begin the school year with the good old How Full is Your Bucket? book. You can check it out {here}. We wanted to take it a step further this year, and have learned when you find something great on TpT do NOT reinvent the ... VIEW POST
