Five for Friday~ June 19, 2015

Hi y'all!

Hope you are enjoying June. It is hot here in Texas, but we're surviving. 

Today I'm linking up with Kacey from Doodle Bugs Teaching.

First week of Summer Break! Yay!

Took the kids to watch Jurassic World. My 25 year old daughter has loved dinosaurs since she was a baby. She gave this movie a 2 thumbs up! And I love me some Raptors and Chris Pratt!

Loving my new Jamicure! I am wearing Lace Noir (black) and Island Energy (pink)! I love Jamberry Nail Wraps so much, I decided to become a consultant!

The first of two new products!Tina and I love using Patricia Polacco books for Shared Reading ~ our third graders loved Thank You, Mr. Falker!

The second of our new products ~ The Three Little Javelinas, a twist on the three little pigs. We love to use this book to compare to the original story!


If you would like to win a copy of one of these units, just click on over to our Instagram! Tonight we will choose one winner for each product!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a happy Friday and weekend=)

Currently June

Happy June! 

I am linking up with Farley's linky party today, the first day of my summer vacation. If you're still in school, good luck and best wishes!

If you have the time, you should check out this month's link ups!

Five for Frunday~ Wax Museum and Art Show

Hi y'all! It has been ages since we have chatted. Here's what we have been up to!



Our GT/Art night was this past week, and it was wonderful. Our Living Wax Museum had 32 presenters~19 third graders presented and 13 second graders! Incredible!

Most students began researching back in January, although some students began as late as April. They read biographies about a person of interest. They wrote a research paper. They made a timeline. They wrote their speech. And they practiced.

I blogged about this amazing project here and here.



 Here are lots pics of their night.

Michael Jackson

Queen Elizabeth

Walt Disney

Barnum Bones (Dinosaur Hunter)

Amelia Earhart

Susan B. Anthony

Rosa Parks

Marie Curie

Dr. Seuss

Annie Oakley

Franklin D. Roosevelt

George Washington

Thomas Edison

Stan Lee

Leonardo da Vinci

Elvis Presley

 

Albert Einstein

 
BTW~ We have the world's best art teacher ever! Here are some pics of the Art Show=)

I can never tell which grade level created the art in her classroom because she doesn't have them labeled. She truly brings out the best in students. We love her dearly!

Thanks for reading =0
 

Currently in April

Hi y'all!
Can you believe it's already April? I'm linking up with Farley for her super duper fun linky party~

Listening~ I actually get to listen and watch morning t.v. today!

Loving~ I have been running on fumes the last two weeks. This long weekend came just at the right time=)

Thinking~ The stress of testing is just too much for a lot of my thirdies. I'm so over it. Try as I may to inspire and calm, I'm ready for this to be done with.

Wanting~ I need a wife~ to clean, to cook, to make appointments, to shop for groceries, to take my car in for maintenance, to pay bills, etc...When I was a wife, my children were younger and I could do much of this list and work. Now, I'm old, single, and need help! I would ask for a personal assistant but you don't have to pay a wife! Ha!

Needing~ Coffee! 'Nuff said!

Third Grade Is Fun {TGIF} is our blog name. Tina and I truly believe that teaching can be fun and effective at the same time!

Hop on over and visit Farley for her Currently linky!
