Five For Friday

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for the Five For Friday link party!


I dropped these puppies off at my local teacher supply store to be laminated.  I so can't wait to get them back and hung up!

I have started diving into Mindset, and I'm loving it.  There's a Project Zero workshop fairly close by in October, so I thought I'd read the Visible Thinking one in advance of it.  Too many books . . . not enough time!

One of my very favorite pastimes is messing with my kids.  It's so rewarding.  We were sitting in the orthodontist's office a couple of weeks ago, and I randomly texted this to my sixteen-year-old who was sitting right across from me.  Minimal response.

This is what I found when I opened my classroom door a couple of weeks ago.  I'm proud to say that progress has been made!  Check back for a classroom reveal soon.

It's Dollar Tree time.  I blogged about these yesterday.

On another - somewhat unrelated - note, taking pictures on my phone and then importing them on my Mac drives me nuts.  WHERE do they GO?  I might see them in iPhoto, but when I go to upload them into my blog post - they are nowhere to be found.  I think I need a class.  Or an intervention.

Or maybe a little of both.

      Thanks, Kristen! Our floors got waxed SUPER early this year, so I've been working a little here and there. Last year they were so late getting them done I was having to crawl in my classroom window to get things done. Not fun. Enjoy the rest of your summer!!

    The mindsets book is a great one! I'm planning on discussing mindsets with my students next year. I upload the majority of my photos for blog posts right off my phone (I have the free blogger app). I got through photos and favorite the ones I want to use in my blog posts. Then I upload them on the app (I can easily find the ones I want because they're in my favorites). I leave the post in draft form and then add text when I'm on my computer. I used to email each photo to myself and that was cray! Try out the blogger app,
