Happy Saturday!
This week was all about sequencing and we used Vickie Plant’s Thanksgiving pack. My kids LOVED sequencing all the stories and putting them back together.
Between the four of us on my team, we had all the books and we were able to do one sequencing activity each day.
ONE EACH DAY.
As in FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE DAY SCHOOL WEEK.
And amongst all of those days, I didn’t take one picture.
Not one.
I looked at my phone and I only had screenshots of things I loved on Instagram which are coming up later.
So . . . I went to Vickie’s Facebook page and found this adorable image and I’m linking back to her because it’s hers. And that’s fair.
Vickie’s Facebook page can be found {HERE}.
Her store can be found {HERE}.
I have to say that I have never been a fan of the old lady who swallowed a this or that because it’s just dumb, if you ask me, and the old lady should probably be in an assisted living community, at the very least, if not an actual institution of some sort, but this particular book made my kids crack up and chant with me on every single page perhaps she’ll die.
That’s right, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.
Follow Corinna’s (Surfing Through Second) Instagram {HERE}.
I mean, HAVE YOU EVER?!
You would think this image is from a magazine or a catalog, right? But nope. It’s not. It’s from Corinna’s own desk. In her own classroom.
She drew it.
Not only that, she has a desk that is CHALKBOARD. Whether she painted it herself or it came that way, I don’t know, but that’s neither here nor there, because she drew it herself.
I commented on her post that I would DIE (perhaps she’ll die) if one of my kids took one of their little fingers and did a little swipe.
Swipe. Erase. Just a little bit. Someone dared them, don’t you know. It’s so irresistible, don’t ya know.
I mean, this happens more than I’d like to admit just on my regular whiteboard because, when we line up, one of my lines has to line up right against our whiteboard, and all down the length of the whiteboard because there are too many of us, and so when there’s a swipe directly down the middle of a letter or someone’s name or a spelling word or a math equation, it’s always an accident and/or we don’t know what happened, Mrs. Oldham, it wasn’t me.
Corinna told me that she used chalkboard MARKERS which need water in order to be erased WHICH IS THE MOST BRILLIANT THING EVER AND I DIDN’T KNOW THEY EVEN EXISTED.
Now I need a chalkboard desk and Corinna to come change the designs monthly for me.
Earlier this week, I blogged about what happens When Someone Walks Into Your Classroom. I love the response I got.
Number One: I am not alone.
Number Two: I don’t have it nearly as bad as some of you poor people who can have up to six adults in the room. I mean.
Perhaps she’ll die.
Anyways, because I blogged about being caught whilst Whipping the Nae Nae, Aris of Sailing into Second (also Aris of my Friend In Real Life) sent this picture to me.
I need this shirt.
Because I do enjoy a nice Chardonnay.
And I can sip it like nobody’s business.
And after having someone in the room watching me all day or someone new coming in and watching me Whip the Nae Nae (am I even saying this correctly?), I need a glass of Chardon . . .
Nay
Nay.
Steve and I saw it yesterday.
It was good.
It wasn’t my favorite. But it was my least favorite book, too, so maybe that’s why.
But I made a commitment. I mean, once you’ve seen the other three, you have to see it through to the end.
I mean, you have to.
So I did. With some junior mints. Because they are half the fat of regular candy. Or half the fat of a York Peppermint Patty which is way bigger.
I don’t have a picture for this last one, but you can picture it in your mind.
I am officially on Thanksgiving break.
I am so excited for an entire week off to rest and sleep and watch TV and read and eat and go to the bathroom whenever I want and wear pjs and not put on makeup. Last year, we went to the Dominican Republic which was amazing, but I have to say I am looking forward to having Thanksgiving with both of our families this year.
But that’s not until Thursday.
Which gives me five days to do . . . well . . . absolutely nothing.
🙂
I just want to say how much I appreciate you! I always enjoy reading your blog, often being able to relate, and share a giggle or two. Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy your nothingness! Lots of sipping for you! <3
As I read the part about the little fingers on the whiteboard I had flashbacks of my whiteboard on Friday, with all the little swipes through my letters. Happy Thanksgiving!
I really wish they didn't split Mockingjay into two movies. I thought part two was really long and boring… And I loved the books. Oh well, like you said, I was committed. Hope you enjoy your break and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! The first snow of the year has covered my lawn, think I might pull out my Christmas decorations!
