Five for Friday {April 19, 2013}

Happy Weekend to you all! :) So glad that it's FRIDAY! :)  I am linking up with Doodle Bugs teaching for another fun Five for Friday post! :)  So, five random things...

1.) This week, we started working on my new complex text read aloud plans for How People Learned to Fly.  I paired that with the matter and movement chapter from our science basal.  The kids really liked what I'd put together for the first several days! :0)  It's always nice to see them get excited about what I make! :)

2.) This was my story on Tuesday...

So not cool! :(  Had a fever when I came home from work on Monday, so, I just called it a wrap and wrote up sub plans. 

3. On Wednesday, I got a chance to train other K and 1 teachers on what a reading block looks like for common core and what the reading block would look like.  We have a team of teachers at our school, one or two from each grade level that does research on common core and then train others.

So much fun! :)

4. Today was my formal observation...and it went really well! :)  This meme captures part of what happened today! :)

5.) Last week, Daina & I started teaching the kids a song we wrote to the tune of Gangnam Style.

The kids are absolutely obsessed with it! :)

 

Did I make this meme for me & my teaching bestie?  Oh yes, I did! :)

LOL! :)
