Five for Friday

One week down and two to go. I hardly count the week before break as an actual week because we are all scraping the kids off the ceiling, so I’m just going to think of it as one week left. That sounds much better 🙂

1. My number one of all time is going to the GoNoodle holiday party this week and getting to meet Neil and Brian from Koo Koo Kangaroo. Rock star status in the eyes of a Kindergarten teacher…can I get an amen? I know they  have saved your indoor recess lives more than once. The guy in the middle is my husband. I really think he could be recruited as the third member?

It really was a lot of fun and I’m so thankful for GoNoodle and their charge to get kids up and moving!

We got a little rowdy in the photo booth…

2. Now I feel like I can’t go on with the rest of the post because nothing is as fun as #1! I should have saved that one for last. Christmas is fun.

This is our tree that took ALL day to decorate. Those little gold sticks are going to be providing the glitter touch that our living room was missing for seasons to come.

It was like the worst kind of fairy dust imaginable when I opened up the package. But, once you have committed…you just have to go with it.

3. It has been non-stop Gingerbread this week . We have read pretty much every version imaginable. They compared characters, re-told different versions, compared settings, made gingerbread glyphs, ate gingerbread cookies, graphed, and wrote (a lot).

Can you find the funny in this one!? (hint: check #1…it’s supposed to say “First, I would do a booby trap”).

4. We started the Kindness Elves this week. I am SUCH a fan of this idea. I got the idea from Erica Bohrer and it has been so meaningful for my kids. If you click on the picture or the link, it will take you to her blog where you can down-load the kindness cards and find the link for these elves that I got. They are just so cute and happy (and less creepy).

5. I hope you had a great week!
