fiveforfriday

Hello all!! Well I am FINALLY back to blogging. I have not forgotten! I have just been SO busy. (I know..I know...It is no excuse) On to Five for Friday:


1. I am on Spring Break this week and OMG it has FLOWN by. I took the kids with friends to the Old Spaghetti Factory where we were able to eat in the trolley car. They had SO much fun doing this. Then, we went to the Adventure Science Museum.

2. I FINALLY purchased and received my favorite new eyeshadow. I LOVE Too Faced shadow!


Naked Eye Shadow Collection
3. I spent my entire Spring Break cleaning, laminating and cutting laminate. Boring! Lol! I am FINALLY done with cutting laminate.

4. I am looking for interesting reading and math focus walls. I hope to get this changed soon in my classroom.

5. I am FINALLY ready to have my hundred follower giveaway. If you would like to contribute something please email me at kimberlycollatos@comcast.net. THANKS!!

Winner!! Weekly review

Hey guys! I am excited to say that Rachel M won the giveaway of the Fox and Kit packet. I hope that everyone is enjoying these. I know that my students love them and love the familiarity of the packets. 


I wanted to put together a 100 follower giveaway. I am very close. If you would be interested in giving away a packet, please contact me at kimberlycollatos@comcast.net.

Okay...so I am getting caught up so the blog will be getting the long needed attention!!


I'm going to add a few pictures to show a few things that we have been working on. 


1. We are working on building our stamina with Read to Self. 


2. We are working on shaving cream spelling. I went over this again and again with my students about the correct way to use it. STILL...I had a student come up to me with an icky face because he thought it was whipped cream lol...NOOOO :)






3.  We have been working on sentence order. Students were responsible for taking a sentence and writing it correctly before cutting it and putting it in a bag. They had to use correct capitalization and punctuation. Then, they traded with the other teams to see which team would correctly put together sentences in the correct order. They had a BLAST!




4. We had a bunny come visit to discuss fiction and non-fiction passages. THEY LOVED THIS!!!
