This week flew by!  Monday was a snow day, yesterday was our Valentine's Shenanigans, and today is a teacher work day.  So how bout a 5 for Friday Review?

1-Heart Art
Sharpie, Markers, and a Rule.  Two colors for the heart and two different colors for background.  Color checkerboard style.
2-Valentine Party Shirley Temple Floats
Easy Peasy:  Cherry 7Up, Ice Cream, Cherries, and Whip Cream
3-Fraction BINGO Valentine Book Swap
Instead of exchanging cards, students wrapped up a book and we played BINGO for books!  About half the class still did bring and exchange cards:-)
4-M & M Sorting
We began fractions...hoping candy tricks students into believing they are fun!
New Read Aloud
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane....best.book.ever!  I did not get to read this last year, because I looped with half the class.  So happy to be sharing it with a new group of Chickadees!

How was your week?  Have you survived the Snowpocalpyse....Full Moon/Valentine Combo???
And just a reminder...you have 11 more days to enter a custom made canvas giveaway.  Can I enter my own giveaway???

  2. Love the book swap idea! Did each student bring in their own book from home?

  3. I heard about your snow day. My cousins recently moved to the Portland area and shared pictures on Facebook of all their snow. If only I could have gotten some. :(

  4. We must have had the same cold weather system. We didn't get much snow in Victoria though. Just a very light sprinkle.
    Your kids are going to love Edward. Mine did:)
