Fill in the Blank Friday

Emily, at Playground Duty, posted a little "fill in the blanks" game.  
I thought I'd join in the fun. :)


1.   My most favorite "little thing" is  my new Peppermint & Vanilla hand soap and hand lotion from Avon!  I've never been a fan of lotion, but I absolutely love this scent.

2.   I'd give anything to get rid of this headache.  Ugh.  It's been a looong week.

3.  I can't believe  my Christmas break hasn't started.  For the first time, we have to go to school next Monday and Tuesday.  Bummer!  But this makes up for it:  We don't come back to school until January 9!

4. The one thing I'd like to achieve today is  ..... Well, the day is pretty much over.  Not much else on the agenda besides SLEEP!

5.  The last thing I want to do today is  go to sleep! :) {Did I mention I need some sleep?}

6.  If I were writing my own blank today, it would say: "The craziest thing that happened at school today...

7.  My favorite candle scent is  sugar cookie or baked apple pie.

Happy Weekend! :)

Winter Adjectives FREEBIE!

I can't believe it is already December!

I enjoyed a loooong Thanksgiving vacation.  A whole week!

And if that wasn't wonderful enough....we get two and half weeks at Christmas!

{Don't hate.}

Anyway...
Our technology teacher asked that each student bring 10 words that describe winter to class next week.  So.....

We'll have an impromptu lesson tomorrow on adjectives. :)

I found this activity on the SMART Exchange website (for Smartboard users!) that well do first. 


Then we'll just brainstorm more words to add to a chart.  Then the kiddos will pick the 10 words they like best.

I created this little recording sheet for them to list their words to take to the lab.



Hope you can use it!  Click HERE for the recording sheet!

Happy Friday! :)
