Five for Friday

It's my favorite time of the week...time to link up for Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs!

This week we wrapped up our regions and rivers of Georgia unit with this fun edible map activity...

I had my kids use the candy and graham crackers to show the different regions of Georgia and blue gel icing to show where our rivers are. Learning is so much more fun with food don't cha think?!

 We also continued to work on the different ways to show a number. My kiddos completed this little craftivity to show their understanding of this concept...

This was my example. Theirs were on larger pieces of construction paper, so the scoops actually stacked on top of one another. I left today without snapping a picture of a student's work. Dangit! If you would like a copy of this to do with your class, you can find that here.

This week we got a class pet.

Meet our Beta named Bubbles. He is hiding in the top left corner. Can you spot him? That's where he's been hangin' lately. Ha!

I'm putting my little shop on sale over the Labor Day weekend! You can visit my shop here for 20% off all weekend!

I just uploaded this seed ideas mini unit that I've been working on with my students the past couple of weeks. If you'd like a closer look, I did a blog post on it last night. You can find this mini unit in my shop and on sale!!

This weekend I'll be spending time with my sweet family. We'll be celebrating two family birthdays, so I picked up cupcakes from my favorite bakery today to bring to the party!

How good do those look?!

Have a great long weekend! Enjoy! You deserve it!
