We finished up our Dr. Seuss unit this week. My kiddos were LOVING all the Seuss books we read.
I brought out all the "fun" stuff for Friday. Here is a peek at what a couple things we did on Friday. We made Dr. Seuss hats and bow ties. We got these patterns from my good bloggy friend Elizabeth. Click {here} if you are interested. {Sorry for the goofy picture. This is from in the staff bathroom at my school. Not ideal picture taking situation!}
We made green "eggs" which was really just green pudding and a vanilla wafer. The students loved this! :) I loved it because it was super easy to make. It didn't take much prep at all!
Here are a couple of sweeties enjoying the green eggs and ham! :)
Listening: I am listening to my Maroon 5 pandora station. Last night, they came to town and I went to the concert. Owl City, Neon Trees, and Maroon 5.......we had a blast! I went with my sister-in-law and two of my nieces. Only got a pic with one of them though.
{My sweet niece Alyssa and a view of Adam Levine from the big screen at the concert.}
Loving: Mixing up my wardrobe.....for the first time ever I wore a belt over my shirt. My hubby thinks it looks stupid to wear a belt over a shirt, but my co-workers gave me compliments. I thought I looked o.k.
Thinking: I am still in my pajamas {don't judge :)} and I don't want to get out of them. Since we aren't going anywhere today, I think I shall stay in them all day long! Everybody needs a pajama day every once in awhile.
Wanting: I will be gone two days this week to go to the IL Kindergarten conference. I am super excited about it. But this also means two days worth of sub plans. I keep putting it off. I am totally revamping my sub binder and I think I might add it to TpT {not sure if it is something anyone would want}. Anyways, with revamping that and writing sub plans I just have a lot to do. Actually that was the whole reason I got on the computer today, but I haven't even opened my sub binder file yet :)
Needing: I have a few TpT creations in the works and I haven't finished any of them yet. I was hoping to get one or two of them posted before I leave for this conference. Once again, this was part of the reason I got on the computer today, but I am having way too much fun reading blogs and commenting that I haven't started on that yet either. Focus Amanda!
Like: Apples......I can eat an apple a day every day. It's a great healthy snack! :)
Love: I may be cheating a bit by saying "A Good Book" but I am having a hard time focusing....see "needing". I love to read a good book. I need to find some new books to start on. Anyone have any recommendations? I would love to hear them.
Hate: People who are always late. I hate it when someone says they will be at your house at 1:00 and then they don't arrive until 1:15 or 1:30. Now granted, I know that sometimes things happen out of our control, but I generally am an early person because I don't want to be late myself. I also hate tardiness at school. I have some students who are tardy on a regular basis and it just throws their entire morning off.
Well I think I have procrastinated enough for today......on to get some things done for the week. Be looking out for some new TpT products from me :) One will be some new dinosaur themed math centers. Anyone feel like they have something they want me to include in the math centers......please email me or comment below! I also have a couple emergent reader books I will adding soon.
Have a great rest of your weekend everyone!
I love the Dr. Seuss activities! I will definitely have to make myself a note of them for next time I do a Dr. Seuss theme!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the "late" issue! I am not so much the early person, but I do like to be on time. Nothing bugs me more than going to a conference or inservice and seeing teachers walk in 30 minutes after it has started...
Love your Seuss outfit and tell your hubby that a belt over the shirt is super chic. And I'm having a pj day as well :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday sweet friend!
Elizabeth
Thanks girl! What does know about women's fashion....right?? :)
DeleteYour outfit LOOKS GREAT!!!! Belts change outfits! I share my outfits from the week on my blog... because I'm a fashion nerd. So get it girl!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I highly recommend Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It's THE best book I've read in a while it is riveting, funny and unexpected. Nothing happens the way you think it will and I could not put it down!
Have a great rest of your PJ Day! (That's what I'm doing too :))

Thanks Brittany! I am loving your blog. Thanks for the book recommendation.....I can't wait to check it out!
DeleteI'm an apple lover, too. :) Good luck with sub plans and I hope you LOVE your conference! The belt is definitely a good thing.

Thanks!
DeletePj's all day on the weekend. Amen. love it.
ReplyDeleteI think the "Green Eggs and Ham" look great. It seems so much easier than cooking eggs with green dye! Plus, I'm sure the kiddos like it MUCH better. :) I will have to remember this idea for next year.

Live, Laugh, I love Kindergarten
I wish I could pack all of you wonderful bloggy friends in my suitcase so you could all come with me! :)
DeleteI'm glad you found my blog! The green eggs and ham is a great idea! Whenever my boyfriend says he doesn't like my outfit, I get the most compliments at school!!
ReplyDeleteHa! I think the same usually happens when my hubby doesn't like my outfit either! Men....can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! :)
DeleteFirst of all - YOU LOOK ADORABLE! In both outfits, I might add! Love the Dr. Seuss hat and bow. I'm super excited about the conference, and I cannot wait to hear all the deets! It is Thursday and Friday right?
ReplyDeleteI really like the green eggs and ham idea. Super easy and yummy! I will be saving that for next year for sure :)
Ok, now don't hate me, but: I am a total "late" repeated offender! EEEK! I know, I know, I'm sorry! Don't throw things at me :) I don't know what the heck my problem is, but I cannot seem to make it anywhere on time! Yikes.
Hope you are having an amazing week so far, at least Monday is over!
Hugs and love,
