Tried it Tuesday and TPT Teacher Appreciation Sale

Don't forget about the Teacher Appreciation Sale at TPT!

Everything in my store is on sale all week

with an extra 10% off from TPT today and tomorrow!

I filled my cart today and spent WAY more than I should have!

Next, I am linking up with Holly from Fourth Grade Flipper for

I got this idea from Gina over at Beach, Sand, and Lesson Plans.

Here was her version...

So, we tried it too.

We started out brainstorming what we would have to do to be a dog.

Then we wrote a poem similar to Gina's.

I was planning on the Mother's Day version, 

but then I got the idea to have them write to the incoming fourth graders,

How to Be a Fourth Grader...

Here's What they came up with...

I think they came out great!

I am going to have them on display for our Showcase Night next week.

Now we are working on the Mother's Day ones.

Thanks Gina for the great idea!

I was going to link up with Teacher Talk Tuesday, but I left my Ipad at work.

I will have to post tomorrow.

I did some serious damage at the TPT sale today!

And there's still another day! 

 What other goodies will I find?

Please share if you know of something I can't live without...

Here's what my cart looked like today!

Yowza!

But I really NEEDED all of that stuff!

Right?

So, what did you buy today?

Organization, Extreme Sports, and a Mother's Day Freebie

OK, so I mentioned that I got a new mounted projector

and that I had to rearrange my classroom 

(3 weeks before the end of school.)

I went in to school today to work on putting my room back together.

I still have a LOT more to do, 

but I did accomplish quite a bit today.

What do you get for the man who has everything

(because he buys it for himself?)

I have a terrible time picking out gifts for my hubby!

He's had skydiving on his bucket list,

so for Christmas last year I got him a tandem jump 

and this indoor skydiving experience for the family.

Well, yesterday we headed out to have a go at it.

Here's what the place looks like...

It's a giant wind tunnel.

This is what it looks like inside.

Here we are after our experience...

Unfortunately all four of us were inside the air chamber, 

so there wasn't anyone to take our picture while we were "in flight."

We did get a video though that shows us all in action.

It was a lot of fun, but it is harder than it looks!

I also got the hubs and my son a Rusty Wallace Racing Experience out at P.I.R.

They went a few weeks ago and got to drive (Ben) and ride along (Scott)

in a race car.

And finally,

here are a couple of Mother's Day freebies for you.

Just click on the images to download a copy.

I am also linking up with Kacey over at 

for 

It's been a BUSY week!

(And we had Monday off!)

I joined the Instagram bandwagon and linked up with

You can find me on Instagram here.

Last week we had an Arbor Day celebration with the City of Glendale and the kids shared their Arbor Day Posters and got to help plant trees in the park next to our school.

Wednesday we had a field trip

The kids watching for our school and their pictures on the jumbo tron.

Thursday was Field Day!

and finally...

The good news is our district has installed ceiling mounted projectors in all of the classrooms.

The bad news is that I have to rearrange my desk and computer area to accommodate the changes -

Three weeks before the end of school!

Here's what my desk area looked like at the beginning of the year...

Here's what it looks like today...

This is a lot of stuff to reorganize on top of everything else I have to do in the next couple of weeks.

Going in tomorrow to work on it before the kids come back on Monday.

Here is my new work station area,

on the other side of the room.

Busy, busy, busy I tell ya.

What are you up to?
