5 for Friday March 21 - Vote to Win a Freebie of Your Choice!

  Time to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five For Friday for a look back at our week.

This week we had parent teacher conferences.  I had mentioned in an earlier post about how I have my students lead the conferences and evaluate themselves.


They often write funny things on their papers, but this one really cracked me up!  I might have to buy him a tub of sour cream one day!




We also presented our animal reports this week.  They really did a great job!


This little one was even dressed to match her project -love the tights!




We played a game with the counselor this week using special balls that the students passed to each other and then answered the questions under their thumbs.  I have seen this idea before for math facts or comprehension questions - it was a good reminder for me.  I think I will be incorporating this activity into our test prep coming up the next two weeks.



I just absolutely LOVE this picture!  They were having so much fun!

Spring craziness and parent conferences always makes for a rough week - so we decided to indulge in a healthy snack during Daily 5 with a fruit tray.  The students loved it since they don't normally get to eat in class!





Last, but not least- our school is in the running for $10,000 to improve our playground which is in dire need of repairs.  Please take a moment to vote to help us win!  You can vote even if you aren't local, and you can vote once every 24 hours.  Voting ends Sunday!  It is really neck and neck and we would love your help and support!

As an extra incentive, I will give everyone who votes (and leaves a comment below) any item of your choice from my 


 Vote here!  Our school is Fernley Elementary :)


Enjoy your weekend!

    1. Forgot my product choice....I'm interested in Kicking It Math - Subtraction Facts Fluency Program. If, however, you needed a cap on how much the freebie could be, I'm also interested in the Grammar Go Fish :)

  3. Hello. I voted, but I'm feeling very inept. I couldn't link up through your blog after many tries so I googled how to vote. I had to like Dolan Automotive (?) on Facebook, and then I could vote. Any way, I voted, and I'll try again tomorrow, too.
