Five for Friday!

Hello sweet friends! I can't help but feel the Spring Break itch already...maybe it's cause I'm sitting here in my pj's drinking my warm coffee and watching daytime television all from my couch. Sigh...I'm looking forward to having more days like this during Spring Break! Today our elementary schools have a Trimester Break, so we get Friday off! Woo-hoo! It isn't Spring Break, but I WILL TAKE IT! :)

This morning I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs to share my Five for Friday!

 This week we've been moving and scooting to get the wiggles out! Anybody with me on the whole Spring Break itch?? My kids have been a little restless these past few days and maybe it's that whole time change. So scoots have been a blessing for my kids! Don't forget to check out my new Multiplication Scoot HERE at mt TpT shop!

We've been working on area and perimeter in math this month so I thought a fun activity to wrap up our week of learning could be this Cheez-It activity I saw on Pinterest. I modified it a tiny bit for my kids but they definitely enjoyed it nonetheless. I mean, workbook activity vs. Cheez-Its?! My activity was the winner!

 Yep. I did it. Caved. You're looking at Melonheadz addict #221. Why does she make her clip art so darn cute?! I can't wait to her her speak at the TpT Conference this July! Anyone else going? I'd love to meet up! :)

Card making has been a new hobby of mine and I can't get enough crafting done during the week. I can't wait till school's out this summer so I can really get back into crafting! If you're local (SoCal) maybe I'll even look into hosting a card making class. That includes you, Miss Kindergarten!! :)

 I've been working on this new Earth Day Unit! It's still in the works, so I'll keep you posted when it's done! Here's a little sneak peek!

  1. I'm not going to be at the TPT conference, but I will be in Vegas that week for a different conference!! I would love to hear Nicki speak too!! That TPT conference is going to be AMAZING!! Wish I wasn't already going to the one I am! Let me know what your think about the Melonheadz club too. I thought about joining, but $50 is a lot of money to invest!!

  3. Yay! I am so glad you joined the Addicts club! Welcome to the group! Jealous about your day off today! Hope you enjoyed it! Spring break can't come soon enough. It is still weeks away for me....

  4. I may have to become a Melonheadz addict too! Um, trimester break? We don't have anything like that. I have half days all next week for conferences, but it ends up being a really long week. Have a good weekend!!

  5. I would LOVE a trimester break (trimester just ended last week) especially since my Spring Break isn't until mid-April. We have Cesar Chavez Day off but that isn't until the last day of March....
