Five for Friday + Currently Combo + Sale!

Since this week flew by and I didn't get to brag tell you about the fun we've been having in my kinder class, I figured I'd link up with some of my favorites and give it to ya all at once! ;)

1. Our 100th day of school was this past Wednesday.  We had a blast!  As you can see most of us dressed up.  Some of us dressed up like we were "rock star 100-year-olds."  



These two beauties changed their names for the day.  Betty and Madeah.  **LOVE**


2.  We also made these adorable 100-year-old portraits!  They turned out super cute.  As you will be able to see...I love projects that require the kiddos to tear paper.  They always turn out adorable!


3.  We made these adorable snowman as a reader's response to Snowmen at Night.  I {{love}} this series.  So do the kids.


4.  We had a Code Red Drill.  I did not like this.  Two of my hyper-sensitive babies had a melt down.  My sweet boy with Aspergers was completely thrown off and upset.  Apparently this is now going to be a "regular" drill at my school. I understand that we as teachers need to be prepared for such traumatic experiences, however, a code red drill?  NO.  ABSOLUTELY NOT.  
Code yellow drill...sure, that makes sense.  Red?  NO!
Anyone else have to practice these now?  What are your thoughts?  Am I being unreasonable for thiinking that this is the most ridiculous thing to put these sweet innocent babies through?  Should they really be introduced to such scary situations when there ARE NO situations happening?  P.S. My kiddos do not know about Sandy Hook. 
Off my soapbox now.

5.  Currently:

6.  I'm having a sale this Sunday!  Click on the button below to head to my store!  Thanks to the amazing Ashley Hughes for the button! :)


Happy Saturday everyone!

Gus Groundhog

Wednesday was an extremely busy day for my class.  We were celebrating Groundhog's Day, the 100th day of school, and a classmates birthday all wrapped up in one day! Needless to say, we survived....or I survived!  

This year I totally got into Groundhog's Day!  It is so much fun!  I never really went into depth on groundhog's with my kinders but this year I purchased Cara Carroll's Groundhog Unit and MAN did I go to town!  There are so many cute ideas out there!  

This is Gus, our class groundhog.  I don't really consider myself crafty or artsy but I think I did a pretty dang good job of making my groundhog!!! :)
 I L-O-V-E this groundhog six week project!!!!!  This is so great and an awesome addition to our Calendar Math Books!  I downloaded Cara's template {no sense in reinventing it, PLUS is absolutely ADORABLE} and made it into a book!  I laminated the front and back covers and printed their names on labels (this was not intentional...I accidently laminated the book before writing their name, but they still are cute).  My kids are loving keeping track of the weather and really 'investigating' information about the groundhog's track record!
 We did some cute activities for the 100th day of school, but I have to be honest, I spent more time celebrating Groundhog's Day.  One of the activities we did I took from Deanna Jump!  How cute are these portraits?!  The kids loved making themselves 100 years old!
(sorry the picture quality is not so great on these pictures)
I'm so happy our busy week is over.  Onto Valentine's Day activities and Presidents!
