It is time for Five for Friday! This Five for Friday is EXTRA special! You might ask why and I will tell you! Today is a training day and next week is spring break! No, I am not heading on a fancy vacation, but I am heading to Ohio to visit family and friends!
Monday is Opening Day for the Cincinnati Reds! Unfortunately, the game is sold out and I didn't realize I would be home until it was too late to get tickets! I am, however, having a SALE at my TpT site on Monday in honor of Opening Day! Make sure to check it out!
My kiddos this year are huge sports fans and they share a love of Amelia Bedelia, so I was inspired to get a set of activities ready for the book Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia. I am planning on using this with them after spring break. This packet includes five literacy response activities in color and black and white. They ask the students to analyze the characters and their traits and understand and explain idioms. If you love Amelia Bedelia, you will love this story and these activities!
3. So today's training was on standards
based report cards. Our county attempted to move toward a standards based two
years ago without a lot of planning or piloting it to see how parents would
perceive it. They looked back and realized they made some mistakes. One, in
particular. was that every CCSS for math in 1st grade is listed! The math
report card alone is two pages! This year they took the time to create, tweak,
and pilot a new one. Today we learned about that new report card. It looks MUCH
better! What are your thoughts on standards based report cards? Do you have any
suggestions?
4. This week I spent my last few dollars that the school gives us
to spend on my classroom! Check out the goodies I bought! Aren't they cute?
5. This last one is for my southern friends! As I
type, we are driving up to Ohio for spring break!

For those on spring break this coming
week, enjoy the week! I know I will!
