Five for ValenFriday

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???

Happy Friday,

It's Wednesday....How Bout a Giveaway!

It snowed here...finally!  We ended up with a four day weekend because of the weather.  I watched all of Downton Abby season 4, some Friday Night Lights, and got a small stack of books read.
My puppy loved it too--

Anyway to celebrate the snow and share some Valentine's love, I have a giveaway!  A very talented friend of mine makes words into really cool canvas art.
