Five For Friday

What a great week it has been here in Charleston, 70 degrees and higher.  Every day has been pure sunshine and warm weather.  We are def. trying to get some sun at recess time.  Those pasty white legs are starting to get some color!!!  Unfortunately, our weather took a turn for the worse on Thursday evening with storms and lots of rain, causing our school to cancel field day....BIG BUMMER!  Our field day ends up being off campus, because we are located in downtown Charleston, and it is only a half day... hence the BIG BUMMER.  What was looking like an early start to a fun weekend, turned into a full day of school...BOO HOO!  Well at least we will have a half day Monday!  Now on to the point of this post....

Here a five things that made us SMILE for the week!!!

1.  We started our new Guided Reading novels this week...Super excited about this book rotation.  These are some of our favorites.

2.  We played with bubble gum and M&M cookies this week as we talked about finding part of a set with fractions...(didn't play with real bubble gum or cookies, but we imagined).  We also played a cool Mixed Number train game. 

3.  We finally got around to doing some more investigating into this Blog world and made some new friends.  It is amazing how 5 new followers will make you feel!

4.  Poetry month has been in full effect here at The Third and Goal.  We used this cute Poetry packet from Miss Decarbo's poetry unit.  Check her out www.secondgradesugarandspice.com. She is super cute and has such great ideas!!!  They have had a blast writing cute poems...and I have too. 

5. Kerry and her boyfriend adopted a new puppy.  His name is Johnny Cash Wall, but he's Cash to his friends :)  He's all kinds of sweet!  Just one big slobbery furball.  Kerry is getting a small taste of what Emily goes through each morning trying to get herself and the kids out the door.  As she says, she is a hot mess and has been late each day this week!  But nonetheless, here is the little guy.  Pretty cute!



 Happy Friday to you all.  Weather man says the weekend should have highs of 70's and lots of sun.  Enjoy!!!

    Our kids are reading CW, so far they're really liking it. I've got another pair reading the old classic How to Eat Fried Worms, a personal favorite of mine.

  3. So sorry to hear about your field day! We had a day of really bad weather in Houston Thursday. It went from 80 to 40 overnight and our swimming lessons were cancelled. Thankfully, the warm weather is back. Enjoy your day Monday!

    P.S.
    I had to laugh at Kerry getting a "small" taste of what Emily goes through each morning getting out the door! My husband leaves the house by 6:20 three days a week, so I have two kids to get to two different drop offs by myself. With the winter weather that we get here, I feel really accomplished each morning when I walk in my classroom everyday at 7:40 as the kids are rolling in!!!
