Five For Friday-March 25th

I am excited to be linking up this week with Doodle Bugs Teaching for a five for Friday post. This week has been a pretty slow week for me since it's spring break at my school, but I'll post what I've been up to at home the last couple days. 

The first thing I did this week was create an official banner for myself that I am using on my Facebook and Twitter pages. I am working on officially kicking off my social media presence to represent my store and thought making a few things like banners was needed to help with that! I am very happy with how it turned out and I think it showcases me pretty well. 

I had a couple hours of free time yesterday so I decided to update my terms of use page to make it look more professional and fit my personality better. I am in love with the end result and just like to sit here and look at it now. 

On Tuesday I spent my evening working on my entry for the Creative Clips coloring contest to celebrate having 50,000 followers on their TPT store. If you haven't entered already, I highly suggest entering. It is so much fun. You can find the information for this contest here. 

I don't have a picture to use for number 4 because it is my new blog layout! This week I took my time off to go out on the web and find a layout I like for a price I could afford and I am very happy with the results that I have found. My classroom theme is Owls and I absolutely adore them and am very excited that I found a layout that fitted what I was looking for. 

Number 5 is showing what I have been up to this week. I have been trying to enjoy my time off by relaxing but still getting some work in at the same time. I have gotten through about half of Nicholas Sparks newest book See Me already and I am absolutely in love with it. I feel like this book is one of his best yet and may beat out my current favorite The Lucky One. I have also started to really go through the Guided Math in Action book and am planning on doing a book study this summer on the blog with it. I am also hoping to do a book study on The Next Steps in Guided Reading, which is used by every teacher at my school, but I may wait till fall to start that study or very late summer at the earliest.

New Product and New Updates!

First off, I am so sorry for not keeping up with my blog the last two months! Starting in my first classroom has been a huge undertaking, but now I am finally feeling pretty settled and ready to return to my blogging and Teachers Pay Teachers Store.

I am loving my new job. My 3rd Graders are amazing and I love getting to know them more everyday. They are making great progress academically and I love seeing the little achievements in the classroom everyday. We are less then two months away from our SOL testing and there is still lots of work to do, but hopefully we can continue to make all the learning and reviewing fun, so they don't get frustrated or stressed about test prep.

I've also updated the blog's look! I went out and purchased a new template to give my blog a more "me" look. My theme in my classroom is owls and I just adore them in general, so hopefully you all like the theme that I chose! I have done this as part of my taking a step in the right direction for my online teacher business with my teachers pay teachers store as I start to bring my focus back to it with new products and ideas!

Finally, I have a new product for you all right now. My students just recently finished up a unit where we studied Data and Probability. As a fun test review, I created a scoot reviewing the skills and concepts that were included in our unit. This scoot is a mix of of creating graphs, reading graphs and determining probability based on information given. This was a big hit in my classroom and was extremely useful in determining if my students were truly prepared to take their unit test.

This product can be found in my store here. It is normally $5.00, but for the first 48 hours it will be $2.50, which is a great deal at 50% off. 

I am continuing to work on some new products and resources for my store, so stay tuned. I am also starting to plan a few book studies for later this spring or early this summer. I am really excited about the books I am choosing for professional development reading this summer and I hope you will read and study along with me!

Make sure to follow me on instagram, twitter and Facebook to keep up with the going on's in my classroom and store.
