7 days left...

Where did this school year go? It's been a crazy one for the sisters and I. But we wouldn't have wanted it any other way... a baby and an upcoming wedding! Two of the best blessings on earth.

My class loves seeing pictures of my little sweetie pie. Since my mom watches her during the day she tries to come up with "fun" photos to send to the kids. This is the latest...

... yes ... that's my 2 month old with a sucker! Don't worry, grandma took it away BUT not until after she let her take one lick.

tooooo sour for a little baby girl, lol

I don't know about you but our kiddies are tested out. These poor kids have reading, writing, and math assessments that sometimes seem like they are never ending. We've really gotten our money's worth from these bad boys. 

When I started grading the math assessments I found quite a few kids who decided to write in their own answers. Seriously?????

We've been trying to squeeze in the last unit of social studies in between the end of the year assessments and festivities. Today we whipped up this little three branches of government "tree" map. 

We also watched a few short YouTube clips. Here's our favorite! 

We are doing our best to fit in some activities from our Groovy Government unit... we need to remember to start this unit earlier next year so we can take full advantage of this pack! 

We hope you are enjoying your last few days of this school year!

A Busy Weekend

Do you ever feel like you need a weekend after your weekend? The last two days have been a whirlwind!

Last summer my boyfriend bought a house! Being the amazing girlfriend that I am [ ;) ] I spend a lot of time helping him paint, fix things, build furniture and lately cleaning up the landscaping.  The yard was totally neglected for the last 5-8 years so we have some MAJOR work to do.  It's taken us 3 weekends so far and we finally have the front yard under control!  Now on to the back... where the majority of the work is.

We went to the Tim McGraw concert and scored these free t-shirts!  Any country fans out there?

I've also been "training" for my 5K. Thank you for all your support! I'm at a walk-run right now... I'll get there eventually.

This morning at school we started working on local government.  We made these cute craftivities.

Tomorrow we're going to start a definitions flap book!  

We also began our graphing unit, nothing like squeezing it all in!  Today we talked about bar graphs and made a classroom birthday graph.  We have a bunch of cute activities lined up, stay tuned.
