It’s a GOOD Friday!

April 3, 2015 By Rachel

Happy Easter Weekend Friends!
Next to Christmas, this is my favorite time of the year!
I’m actually starting to think I might like it a little more!
Shh….don’t tell Santa!
I’m actually eating jelly beans as I type this!
Shh…don’t tell my hips!
I thought I’d bring you a little Five for Friday and April Currently all rolled into one blog post with a pretty bow on top!
Listening:  My windows are open and I’m enjoying the sounds of Spring!
Loving:  There is just something about the warmer weather, rebirth of nature, and the hope of Christ that I just love about this time of the year!
Thinking: My sister-in-love and nephews arrived yesterday and my brother comes tomorrow!
Wanting: Can I just get one more week of Spring Break!  I have loved every minute of this week!
Needing: Self Explanatory….must wash clothes so I don’t have to go around nekkid!
Eggs-plain your name: Here’s the definition from Urban Dictionary
Tall Drink of Water
n. 1. A man or woman that is tall, gorgeous, and super delicious. Like on a hot day, a tall drink of water is absolutely appealing. 
2. Old slang for a visually appealing man or woman.
Would you look at hunky man? He is one tall drink of water. I could drink that RIGHT up.
Thanks Mom!
Did I tell you that these two cutie patooties are in town?!
Snuggles and Dinosaurs are in my future!
One of my best friends got married last Saturday!
 It was a gorgeous wedding and she was a stunning bride!
  I’ve been pretty productive this week!
I created two products that have been on my to-do list forever!
I’m having a little giveaway to win my Multiplication version and any other product of your choice.  It ends Friday night, so hurry up and get over there!
Last, but certainly not least….
It’s Good Friday, but Sunday is Coming!
Have a fabulous weekend!

I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
