Five for Friday: October 23

Hello, friends! I am once again teaming up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!
Learning about pumpkins is so much fun this time of year! To read more about some of my favorite books. please feel free to visit my post on our collaborative blog, The Primary Punchbowl. I was excited to share for the first time, and have had fun reading the other posts since our launch last week!!

I had a nice, relaxing night in on Wednesday. Just what I needed! Any of you needing a bit of rest during this crazy, no-break, month?
.
When this email came in on Wednesday afternoon, I just about screamed. Yes, I KNOW it is going to be expensive to fly from California, but I NEED to go to TPT Orlando 2016. It might just be fate, since I have been planning to go to Orlando in the next two years anyway!!  Hope to see you all there!


Some of my favorite lessons in math involve shapes! We have started our flat shape unit, and the kids are explaining their reasoning like ROCK STARS! We explored rectangles today, and triangles yesterday. I like teaching about shapes around Halloween, because there are so many activities to integrate into my lessons!

We are completing so many fun activities this month, and this one is almost done! The bottom of the left side will say "G is for ghost." and the ghost will have details added. We are having a lot of fun making scary things into silly things, so students are feeling very confident these days! Just wait 'till you see what we do for Halloween next week. I can't wait to show you!

How about you? What have you been up to this week??
