Five for Friday....May 16, 2014

It is already Friday again! Time to join Doodle Bugs for her awesome linking party!


We are starting to take the room apart and pack for summer school. Only two more days of school and we are finished. Lots and lots and lots to do before I get checked out. I received an upsetting notice today regarding some of my special ed. paperwork. It looks like there is more to do that I didn't even anticipate. ugggg! 


ONE



The Librarian put this fun and cute bulletin board up, I know it was fun for the kids to do and fun for the rest of the school to walk by and look at all the unique minions.
TWO



The butterflies are out! My co-worker and friend (who is retiring - ahhh!) is helping me keep them alive, I call her Dr. Butterfly. I think we will release them Monday.


THREE


The kinder teacher on the other side of me has all kinds of art projects going on, they also had butterflies. Here are a couple of their works. The egg is a bead, the caterpillar are cottonballs, the cocoon is a piece of an egg carton and a coffee filter makes up the butterfly. Pretty clever!

FOUR
We treated ourselves to a meal out of the house at the Roadside Inn. I love the murals in the restaurant.

FIVE



We are house hunting! It is scary and exciting all at the same time.  Just something not too big and not too small, maybe on a lake but the taxes are higher and of course, economical to keep warm! It is fun following the GPS to a variety of homes, and if no one lives there...peeking in the windows!

I think we are off to a boat show!

Later,

Caterpillars growing.....books.....art!

Our classroom has been revived by caterpillars!



We have 5 fast growing caterpillars and everyone goes straight to them when they walk into the room. They are enjoying the process.


I haven't personally had the opportunity to go through the caterpillar/butterfly process. I took the advice of a wise kindergarten teacher: "Tape the cup to the counter." Excellent advice!

I also was given this cool packet.....



They needed something to attach to.......


Now all we need to do is wait....and read some good books

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

Ten Little Caterpillars by Bill Martin Jr.
illustrated by Lois Ehlert (love her pictures!)

and do some cool art projects......

egg carton, paint, wiggly eyes and pipe cleaner!

We have more to share! 
Later,
Paula
