First, I want to let everyone in Oklahoma know how much they are prayed for and thought of by me and many others! I can't even imagine the devestation and heartbreak they are going through!

I've been a little absent from this blog lately thanks to this sweet baby cutting her first tooth...
Poor thing has been miserable and pretty much the only relief she got this weekend was being outside with a frozen washcloth in her mouth!
It's been crazy with all things end of the year {field trips, cumulative records, testing, field days, you know what I'm talking about!}, but I have managed to snap some pics for Instagram here and there to document what we've been doing. If you're not on Instagram yet, go get an account...best thing ever!

My kids love playing our Teamin' Up game to practice fluency. It's a super easy and super quick way to work on fluency. Give a few kids the big answer cards and everyone else an equation and they 'team' up according to their answer. This is in my Fun with Fluency pack that I updated this weekend. If you already have it, make sure to go download to get your new activities!

  Speaking of fluency, my kids are loving these quick review pages I've been using as morning work. They love being detectives and are so happy when they find all the equations!
Yesterday, we planted our grass heads and it was scorching outside {I'm pretty sure they had fun although they look a little miserable!}. I hope we get to see our grass before the end of the year!
 We've also been working on our memory books. In the chaos of the end of the year, I love seeing the kids work on these and reflect on the year. Makes me happy/proud/sad all at the same time. These are in my Looking Back pack that I also updated, so be sure to get the new version if you already purchased :).
Last, I posted this poem last year that I will give to my kids at our awards day again this year. It's one my first grade teacher gave me and I still have my ditto copy from way back when! Click the picture below if you'd like to use it for your kiddos.

I'm pretty sure the rest of our week is going to be crazy since our school has field days for the next 3 days!! I'll be cramming in some FAIR testing and assessments in between and hopefully finishing our memory books.
Make sure to check out #teachertalktuesday on Instagram and go check out Michelle's tutorial this week over at Apples and ABCs. Also, a little shout out to my friend Tessa for getting me a Pin it button on all my pics {I'm super technologically challenged!}. If you're on the look for a blog design, be sure to check her out!!




Hallelujah!! It's Friday! I think this might have been one of the longest weeks of the school year!!
I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday again this week...


We went on one of our favorite field trips this week...the play at our local junior college. We got to see Alice in Wonderland and it was sooo good! We walk on this trip and on the way back, the local pediatrician passed out lemonade to all our kids...such a nice treat!
Today we read Mister Seahorse and then made this cute project my friend Deeanna created to go with it. We talked about where each daddy fish kept the eggs, then used lentils as our eggs to display and sequence the story.

We've been working hard all week on our addition and subtraction fluency to 5 and we're getting much better. Today, we played a partner game with our flashcards to help us practice even more. I love the look on my little sweetie's face in the second picture!! These are part of my new fluency pack.
I am ashamed to show this picture!! Is anyone else feeling the end of the year chaos? I had about 5 different things going on today and my little side table is evidence!! I'm afraid it will only get worse before the end of the year!
Last, I want to wish all of you a very Happy Mother's Day!! Whether you have children of your own or not, you are all mothers in some capacity as we have these sweeties almost as much as their moms. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Now, head over to Doodle Bugs to see everyone else's Five for Friday!
