Five for Friday Linky Party

This is my second week with Five for Friday by Kacey!!

Since it is my Spring Break, I don't have any in-the-classroom updates, but I have done PLENTY for my classroom this week!!
1.

I went to a wedding reception for a very cool couple this Saturday. The bride and groom are both SO much fun, and hosted a great party. They had already gotten married in February in the trees in Big Sur, so they just wanted to celebrate with us. It was a ton of fun catching up with friends and celebrating two great people.

I got a chance to see my boys play on Tuesday! YAY for baseball! Even though the A's lost, I spent great time with the high school kids from the youth group, and my "little" cousin even went!

Gotta love the Dollar Tree!!

 This TV was picked up within an hour of putting it out! Thank God!!

Ahhhhhh, the time to actually ORGANIZE and clean!!! I am heading out to work tomorrow (technically today) to unload a TRUNK full of stuff. I love when other teachers are willing to share. One of my good friends' mom is a former kindergarten teacher, and asked if I wanted anything. Um, YES, PLEASE!!! I scored some great stuff!! I also met a nice woman at my last Dream Dinners session who used to teach kindergarten and is now a stay-at-home-mom, and she offered me a bunch of stuff! I am sooooo fortunate to have met the people I have. I also finally sorted my extra crayons by color into containers, something I have wanted to do for over 2 years. I know it seems a little cray-cray, but I already feel better looking at them. I made the labels really quickly, and I am really glad I did. I am taking them out with the rest of the load tomorrow! Since I have been cleaning out my stuff, I wanted to allow my TPT followers to clean out their wish lists in my store. I am hosting a sale of 15% off everything through Friday.

This girl right here was SOOOOO productive today!! I got rid of that darn TV that has been sitting in my garage for a year, dropped off used ink cartridges at the e-cycling location, listed some DVD's on ebay, sent a package, and this was ALL before noon! In the afternoon, I headed to Ikea in Sacramento (about 1.5 hours away) to return a bookshelf that I had bought that had a broken piece. It was SO easy to do the return. I then picked a NEW shelf and loaded it into my Ford Fusion for the drive home. Tonight, I put it together. Now, the whole purpose of the shelf is to store my DVDs, but I would like to eventually have some parisian accents here and there to spice it up from being "only functional."

I am participating for the first time in an Instagram loop!! If you follow my instaGram, @veryperryclassroom, you will see how to participate to win $150 to Target. Who wouldn't want an extra $150 to Target?! I know I am wishing I could win or participate, but you should totally enter!

Ok, that is my five!! Next week should be a little more "classroom-oriented," since I will be back in my portable palace! ;) Stay tuned later this weekend for a post on how I send reminders home in my classroom!
