    It’s been a while since I’ve shared my week, so here I am! :o)

    Fingers and Toes Day was today!! For those of you that have no clue what that means, we can officially count down to the last day of school on our fingers and toes! :o)

    We are in full swing of our ABC Countdown to the end of the year, too!

    If you want an editable version, check out my blog post from 2013!

    Wednesday was Earth Day, and my kids had a BLAST creating a new invention to help the Earth thanks to Matt at Digital Divide and Conquer’s awesome PBL Activity!!

    First, my student teacher worked with them to brainstorm areas of need…

    Then they got busy! What I love most about these types of activities is that my usual “top scholars” or “high flyers” aren’t always the ones who come up with the most creative ideas… as you’ll see below. Excuse the spelling but check out their awesome inventions!!!

    Oh and did I mention… we are also in the middle of state testing right now???

    With Ideas by Jivey

    We’ve been enjoying GoNoodle in between all the test review and actual testing!

    If you haven’t been taking Brain Breaks this year, it’s not too late to start!! Sign up- it’s free! The kids love it, and it’s pretty amusing for the teacher, too. 😛

    Last… I have some exciting news- you must come back Sunday to see what it’s all about!! But here’s a little hint. :o)

    I hope your week was awesome! See you soon!
