Five for Friday...November 6, 2015

I'm not back to work yet, but I can probably pull 5 things out of my hat! My focus is on health at the moment instead of lesson plans! Lesson plans are easier I think.

 
Let's link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching and share your week.

 
This isn't exactly healthy, but it is pretty good and HALF of it IS healthy!
 

 
Pumpkin Spice Almonds and candy corn is delicious mixed together!
 
 
 
 
Taking my blood pressure 4 times a day (when I remember). The smallest thing can make it go up. My life is pretty calm at home...no big decisions are required at the moment...
I am concerned what it will do when I return to work.
and yes....I'm on medicine to help keep it down.
 
 
Two MRI appointments this week!
The second one was using contrast...I really hate needles and my veins are very uncooperative.
It only took two sticks to get the contrast in, add to that I was laying down with a plastic bird cage looking mask over my face while it was happening.
I am proud of me for not freaking out.
 
 
 
 
I found this cartoon on Google, it cracks me up because that is how it sounds! I had on headphones with music, but sadly couldn't hear the music when the machine was at  loudest which was most of the time. More MRI humor at
 
 
Here's a picture from Alter Everything blog of the face mask.

She talks about pretending she is on a beach, I did something similar...I was sitting by a lake drinking coffee.
 
I am really hoping my brain has healed...but not sure I'm ready to handle the stress of my job.  : (
But ...you know...gotta work..
 
 
Speaking of handling stress....I am reading a book that may help
 
 
 I am only in the first chapter. So far, there is a lot of talk about being positive about yourself, seeing the good in YOU, one of the questions: List positive things about yourself...I couldn't think of anything...I would think of something and then disagree with myself! So I have a ways to go.
 
 
 
 
We've gotten some snow and are expecting more this weekend!
I am taking a walk every day and attempting to get back in working shape--ha!
 
Take care and talk to you next week,
 
Paula

Five for Friday......November 1, 2013

Thank goodness it's Friday! It has been a very loooooonnng week! I am happy to be linking up with Doodle Bugs this week. 

1.
Halloween is my favorite holiday, it is always fun to wear a costume and give away candy, but when it falls on a school night.....yuck! We did do some fun activities while practicing skills.
Graphing activity....
with candy corn and pumpkin candy.

2.

counting by 5's and 10's using cards from.......Doodle Bugs of course! The Bats are in her "Happy Halloween" packet and the pumpkins are from her "Fall Math Centers". We made the other activities into folder tasks, I forgot to take pictures, but the kids love them!


3.


Patterns using pictures from Writing with Symbols 2000....


4.

Pete the Cat in the listening center, found some great activities 
on the website makinglearningfun.com.
Pete the Cat and his New White Shoes is also on youtube! Very cool on the Promethean board.

5.
This week was also Red Ribbon week and I personally feel there is a conspiracy to try to keep us Halloween fans from wearing our holiday apparel! So here are some of my highlights of the week....
Crazy Sock day

Crazy hair day ( my hair was purple and this shirt went great with it!)

Sports team day...so I wore my awesome ORANGE Thunder shirt complete with pumpkin pin, earrings and socks.

Have an  AMAZING weekend!
