Silent Speedball and more!

Linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching!

 1. Native Americans- Didn't have time to cover near Thanksgiving but loving it right now. They loved making wampum necklaces, navajo pouches, and symbol writings.

2. We completed some activities from The Teacher Wife's Action Verbs packet. They also just love this song.

 

3. Silent Speedball- This game is an awesome brain break. The students LOVE it. The way we play is use a soft foam/sponge ball. The object of the game is to throw the ball to one another in no particular pattern. Last one standing wins! When you say go, players begin to toss the ball around the room. They should make eye-contact with the person they intend to throw the ball to. Also, everyone should have a chance to have the ball. 

If you talk, you're out!

If you make an uncatchable throw, you're out!

If you don't catch a good throw, you're out!

If you complain in any way, you're out!

Stay by your chair and speed is a factor!

4.  Spent some quiet time Friday afternoon at our local State Park. It's simply beautiful. 

5. I'm OVER lice. Too many of our 2nd graders are going home with lice. Do you have a nit free policy? Any tips! 

Off to check out other weekly highlights

Five for Friday

 I’m linking up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday even though it's Sunday. I have been trying to limit my computer time. :)

1. Social Studies- American History and American Biographies. The 2nd grade performed for their parents. They did a wonderful job.

2. Science- We've been extra busy studying the phases of matter! They've had a BLAST. 

3. Fancy Nancy Parade- Our 4th graders paraded around the gym with awesome vocabulary words. We are loving the thesaurus right now. 

4. All of my extra time has been spent with my nieces and nephew!

5. Have you seen TOUCH?

It's my new favorite show. I watch it every Friday night. 

Currently

Wow! March is here. I'm linking up with Farley for her famous currently linky. The month of February flew by. I am currently trying to figure out how to use my new computers. I made the switch to MACs but have not had the chance to sit down and figure out all of the neat features. I haven't been able to create freebies and items because I need to find all of my files. I miss my DELL only because I was comfortable with the operating system and locating all of my files. Now my files, fonts, pictures, etc are not at my fingertips. I guess I have a major job this summer. 

I can't wait til Spring Break and April because the whole family is going to Disney World. My two sisters and parents will be renting a villa on Disney property. I can't wait to see how excited my niece and nephew are at Magic Kingdom. I went in February and got a great 4 day hopper pass for under $125. It pays to live in Florida. 

Like- Mexican Food- Margaritas and Queso YUM!

Love- Massages especially facials

Hate- misfeeds in the printer and copy machine 

Is it just me or does your school copier get paper jams?

Have a wonderful week! I've missed everyone! I'll be back later to share 5 random pictures.
