Holy moly! I am whipped. Today was field day and it was the first real HOT day in Dallas. Hot and MUGGY. Terrible! So as I'm writing this Five for Friday I have an ice cold strawberry margarita next to me. On to Five for Friday!
#1 First off, here's a picture of the kiddos at Field Day. They had so much fun!
#2 And not to brag, but we are the tug-o-war champions for Field Day 2013. The kids are on cloud nine.
#3 Next up, for the last 3 weeks of school my students are working on their "All About Me" books. They are loving it! I wish I had made this at the beginning of the year so that they could compare their beginning of the year book and their end of the year book. Check it out in my
TpT store.
#4 We have been studying fractions in math and the kids absolutely loved it! Here are some activities we did this week.
#5 I saved the best for last! Because I have such amazing followers I am throwing a giveaway with Lindsay Griffith from
"For the Love of First Grade". We have become quick bloggy friends and she and I have been growing at about the same rate so I thought, why not?! Let's have a giveaway! Take a look at who is involved and a couple more will be added before the giveaway starts! Make sure you follow these lovely ladies blogs, facebook, TpT store. Links will be included when the giveaway starts.
Have a great weekend!
I love the gumball activity that you did with your class this week! I will have to keep that one in mind for my kiddos next year! Congrats on your giveaway! I am about to hop over!!

I don't know what's worse for field day...rainy weather like we had or hot, humid Texas weather!? It was SO hazy today. Bet the kiddos still had a blast though! So excited for our giveaway!

For the Love of First Grade
I've done field day with both. Hot and humid was WORSE! Playing in the rain is FUN! Dying of heat stroke? Not so much. :)
DeleteBummer about the hot weather! We were suppose to have field day too....but it got cancelled because of rain. I would hate for it to be that hot. We have a tug-o-war contest at the end of our field day too. I've been giving them strategies on how to win all week! We want the trophy.

Well the funny thing is, my class is NOT the most athletic by any means. My class was blessed with brains this year instead. Every year is different. So I was SHOCKED! They were so proud though and that's all that matters!
DeleteIt's pretty much always hot and humid where I live - every field trip I've ever taken my kids on has been a scorcher!! :)
ReplyDeleteI popped over from the Five for Friday linky.
