Finally linking up
with Doodlebug this month for Five for Friday! It's been a good while since
I've been blogging. Between coordinating the yearbook and the Mother's Day tea
party. Not to mention chicks hatching and going to Vegas, I can safely say I've
been a very busy teacher! Now time for some Five for Fridayness!
One
First up, our Mother’s Day Tea
party. It was a complete success and I’ve gotten rave reviews from the moms and
special guests. Thanks to Firstie Kidoodles, Michelle Oakes, Cara Carroll and
Maria Manore for amazing printable packets for our tea party! I used a little
from each one for mommy gifts and decorations. The one I felt was most useful
was the Tea Time {A Mother’s Day Tea Program} by Firstie Kidoodles. She lays
out everything that she does for her Mother’s Day tea program, it made it very
easy to follow. We made hats for our moms, gave them a tissue paper flowers,
gave them a coupon book a paper purse all about them according to their child,
and a two cute pictures of them in their mom’s tea hat. I couldn’t help but
spoil our moms because I kept finding fun gifts to give them. Then last minute
I decided that we would sing two songs for our moms by Firstie Kidoodles. It
all turned out fantastic! Best part was the raffle giveaway. We had three
donations made by companies here in my little town. We were able to give away 2
strawberry rhubarb pies, a gift certificate to a local grocery store and I
picked up some dollar stuff at the Dollar Tree. This was the first time I’ve
taken on some leadership at my school for
a special event and it was awesome! Can’t wait for next year!

| Flower Day |
Two
Last week was Teacher
Appreciation Week and man was I spoiled. We had flower day, teacher portrait
day, child note to teacher day, treat day, and parent note day. Of course I
loved flower day because all the kids really tried and brought in some
beautiful flowers. I also loved their notes to me, it made my heart melt. My
absolute favorite was the parent note. I know they appreciate the work I’ve
done with their child but it was nice to hear from them how much I’ve impacted
their child’s life.

Two weekends ago I was soaking up the sun in Las Vegas! My college
roomies/besties and I went on a mini vacay to see Britney Spears in Vegas. It was just
what I needed to get me through the long month that is May. My friend and I
dressed up as a Britney from one of her videos (mine is Womanizer) while the others just looked gorgeous! I love my friends and we had such a fun time in Vegas!

Why couldn’t the chicken find
her eggs? Because she mislaid them. Chicks, chicks, chicks. The kids are as squirrely
as can be right now and with the chicks here it’s hard to get any work done. We
incubated 42 eggs and we hatched 33! I teach in a rural area so a lot of the
chicks are going home with the families at my school. They’ve even started
naming and picking out their chick. Some names are Shelly, Miracle, Moonlight,
Dottie, Muffball, Brownie and my favorite Ester. We keep these cuties for 2 weeks and then
their going HOME!

This has been a hectic week
with the chicks breaking out of their eggs and the end of school around the
corner, I managed to take home my first graders water bottle. I didn’t even
notice until I started to drink and felt the bite marks around the top. As I
slowly pulled it from my lips and saw the name of my firstie peach I suddenly
screamed in my car “OMG” Perfect end to my week, keeping my fingers crossed that
he wasn’t sick!
