Five For Friday.....Spring Break

Spring Break, Easter, Parent/Teacher conferences have all come and gone.  Time to take a deep breath and look back at what I have been up to.

Linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching is a great way to do that.  Thank you Kacey for giving me the chance to share.

First up is Spring Break.  I had a wonderful time visiting with six of my grandkids and learning how to make these sugar eggs.  I wrote about my first attempt here, and we had so much fun I did it again with another set of grandkids.

Easter was a quiet day.  I am LDS, so I spent much of the weekend enjoying conference.

The rest of the weekend was dying eggs, having fun listening to the grandkids tell me about the Easter Bunny, and having a wonderful meal my son cooked for us (didn't get any good pictures of the smoked ham...but it was yummy).

Then spring Break was over too soon and it was back to school.  Parent Teacher conferences were this week.  They always make me nervous.  I like to have my students show off some of what they have been doing, so I created this self-reflection page last fall and I gave it to them this week.  I really want to get them thinking about their learning.

You can grab this from my facebook fan freebie section here.

Finally, as I was working on lesson plans this week, I realized that all week long we have palindromes.  Yes our digital dates all week are the same forwards and backwards.

Have a GREAT week!!

HUGE edit alert!  Next week doesn't work....because it is no longer 2014.  How did I not figure that out sooner.  Next Month...MAY is the fun one!   Here is the revised picture.  Have you ever had one of those days???
