Five For Fraturday

I finally made it to this party. 

It seems like one extremely crazy week, but I have 5 things that stick out.

It was our 50th day of school on Wednesday. We looked at the toys and clothes from back then. We used lincoln logs and legos for math that day. We learned the hand jive. We tried root beer floats. I was amazed how many of them have never had tried root beer before. My favorite of the day was having my students do this:

well, not sit and watch a movie, but the fact I introduced them to I Love Lucy and Harpo Marx. We talked about how TV shows are so much different today. 

Favorite quote was "Are we watching the one where Lucy thinks she is going to get murdered?" Ahh, a kid who knows what good TV is. 

Parent teacher conferences are over with great success! As much as I can dread them at times they are so helpful.

Since I had some long gaps between my conferences I had time to completely prep for the week. I got my new reader theater's all highlighted too.

These are from my latest packet. 

IT SNOWED!! More is coming. I love snow. It makes everything so pretty and makes it feel like the holidays. I am one Michigander that has no complaints about the snow, even in May it is an adventure.

View from my house. Sorry for the screen effect.

I know it is hunting season or at least rifle season here. It is a huge deal. This year was the first time I have ever gone out bow hunting. I loved it. Didn't manage to get anything yet. Here was the view last night from the blind. Can you tell it has a bit cold here?

Happy Weekend!
