A Getaway, Free Stuff, and a Fire

Last week was a whirlwind of excitement and again I am linking up with Doodlebug’s Teaching with my own “Five for Friday” recap.  On a Tuesday nonetheless.  It’s all good.  I like reflecting on the week, even if it is late.

Last Sunday I posted a how to for creating mini books with your students.

Second is an activity that was new to me – using magnifying glasses to light paper on fire!  I think it proved a memorable activity about the power of the sun.  A teammate shared this activity with me and I am glad she did!

Third is my favorite post from last week – a bunch (nine to be exact) of FREE thank you card designs!

Fourth up is my teacher feature from last week – Darren Fix of Science Fix.  (If you have a teacher you think I should feature, let me know.)  I love being inspired by other teachers!

Last is my reason for not posting as much the past few days – I was on a girl’s getaway in the mountains!  I went with my mom and possible sister-in-law to be.  This was my first all girl vacation and it was the BEST TIME!  We already have another girl’s getaway planned!

I only have one week left of school.  My students will be writing thank you cards and helping me clean/organize.  What are your end of the year plans?
