Five for Friday

It's SATURDAY...so time for Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs Teaching.

We had our first snow day of the year and a couple of delays this week! 

It's a shock to actually be keeping up with our planning calendar...a big positive for a mild winter.

Friday was a reminder that keeping it simple still works to create some fun. The class walked in to find a Rolo (gold nugget) on their desks with a St. Patrick's Day themed fraction packet. 

The review activities brought out some good discussions about comparing, ordering, and equivalent fractions. Coloring was involved and that always brings a magical calm to the room.
We also did a scoot activity to practice balancing equations...another review! Then it was off to specials.

When the class returned they found another gold nugget on their desks along with a copy of this free writing activity from the Teacher Wife. We reviewed writing a good paragraph with three details, and the responses to Who is worth more to you than gold...were absolutely precious. 

After lunch...you guessed it (and so did they) there was another gold nugget on each desk!
