Summer suddenly arrives ~ Five For Friday!

Yesterday (Thursday, May 18th) was the hottest day in Boston since 1936!  It reached well into the 90's, and we were extremely lucky at my school that the air-conditioning came on!  Of course, there's plenty more news to report today for the link-up with Doodle Bugs:!

Last week we wrote opinion pieces on why our Moms are the best:

Learning About Amazing Animals

This week we began learning about animals, and it was the perfect time.  Now that the weather has gotten so hot, the insects came out in full force a recess last Tuesday!  The kids love learning all about different animals, and I love incorporating animals into our Morning Messages, too!

Updating Product Covers on Canva!

I've been looking at my product offerings on Teachers Pay Teachers and deciding how to make my products look more colorful and attractive.  I decided to update my free "Give Me Five Adjective" writing because it would make a perfect end of the year activity ~ Click here to check it out!

Also I made an instruction sheet for our new centers on Canva.
