FIVE for FRIDAY!

Oh boy oh boy! I can't believe I've neglected this poor little blog of mine these past few weeks, but this time of the year always creeps up and smacks me right in the face little nobody's business. 

I'll be back this weekend with some school stuff. Here's a little look at my week: 

I started off the week with this horoscope:


(Love the wish upon a star part!!! So I did!) ;-)

and these new shoes: 


We are in full TEST PREP PULLING TEETH mode. Lisa over at Growing Firsties created an AMAZING unit to help with this! It's called "Finding Proof" and it's filled with PERFECT passages for my struggling students with comprehension questions that make the kids FIND PROOF for their answers! Can you say Common Core!?!?! This unit is seriously perfect for my struggling 2nd graders and we've been using it all week!!! Thank you Lisa!!!


Our school is also in full swing PLC mode! Are you a PLC school? Lot's of data and figuring out essential standards and deciding what to do for the kids who got it, and what to do for the kids who didn't. I'd love to hear about your experiences with PLCs! 

(I used a Google Form to have the kids take a fractions test...This meant instant data for me!!! = One happy teacher!) 


We started multiplication this week. With arrays. This made me want to pull my hair out....


We're still trekin' along with our forces & motion science and writing unit. And we finally launched our bottle rockets! They actually launched!!!!!


We blogged about bullying. I was so proud...


I think that was more than five, but I'll still link up with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday. :)

Happy weekend! Have a great one!!!

  5. Hi my friend,
    Your shoes are too cute! Lisa's unit looks awesome! I'm trying ( really hard ) to get back up to 2nd grade next year...fingers crossed! Say a prayer for me. We are a very small school so it's hard to make a move but there may be this little window of opportunity for me. I will keep you posted and then we can be 2nd grade besties. LOL :o)

  7. I just found your blog through the linky. I love finding fellow 2nd grade bloggers. I have had some bullying issues in my class too. It always makes me sad when kids do stuff like that.

  8. Have you ever tried Socrative for the iPads? It's another easy (and free) way to asses and you get instant results, too. :)
