Wisdom for Wednesday-Hold On

Welcome to this week's:

You know those times, when you just don't understand what is going on in your life?  I believe this quote says it all.  When you are asking yourself why or what is going on?-this is all you need to remember.  God has it and knows what he is doing and will work it out for the best!

Enjoy your day!

Math Groups Help??

I have done the Daily 5 in reading for a few years now and love it.  I am very comfortable with it.  I have always wanted to do math groups as well.  I have tried starting them several times but haven't felt successful with them.  I often feel like I don't have enough time.  So, I was wanting to hear from everyone that does math groups.  How do you do it?  How much time is each group?  Do you see each group every day?  What do the other kids work on while you are working with a group?  I really want to try and implement the math group rotations this coming year and would love to hear how you do yours.  I look forward to hearing about your math groups!

Have a great day!

Five for Friday - ON FRIDAY!

Wow! 

This has to be some kind of record. 

Me posting my Five for Friday (thanks Doodlebugs!) post ON Friday. ;-)

This just happened. YIKES! 

If you've followed our blog long enough, you know that I wrote a Bible study and have been seeking publication. This last school year, I came very close...asked to make revisions and resubmit, etc. It is always a long process. In the end, they had just put a contract on something similar and had to pass on mine. Anyway, I had been dragging my feet to submit to publishers again. But I did. And now we wait--and pray!

I have discovered hashtag shopping on TPT. 

This could be dangerous! Ha! 

I picked up five fantastic resources this week for $1 each. 

Yep! 

That is right! 

$1 each!

Here's what you do: 

Go to TPT and type the specified hashtag (today it is #freshsqueezedfriday) in the search box and watch the $1 items appear.  

The Primary Punchbowl invites others to join in their sale, so I marked down Connect Four Short Vowels Mega Pack to $1. ONE DOLLAR!

 

Now if you don't follow me on Instagram, you should because that is where I would have given you the heads up on Tuesday! The Big Heartland Bloggers have teamed up and on Tuesday we offered $1 deals with the hashtag: #bhbdollardeals. Kristi and I had one of our new Wonders packs marked down to $1! We're planning to do it every Tuesday (at least for now).

Call me a dork if you want, but here I am with my arm in the air! Whoop! Whoop!

Therapy has been a killer, but I have made AMAZING progress in just four days since being allowed to actively use my shoulder.
 

I'm even capable of doing a weird, little, side pony-tail unassisted! LOL!

What do you do when you go to the school--which contains the town's tornado shelter--after the sirens go off? 

Work, of course.

These are some of the new books for our library. I helped unpack while we waited until it was safe to go home. No tornado touched down here, but other towns were hit. :(

Pre-tornado siren, I was feeling very motivated to pull a late night diving into my Wonders curriculum. The new colored gel pens and sticky notes helped. Ha!

Post-tornado siren, I came home and went to bed!

That's five! 

Hope you have a great weekend!
