Five for Friday!

I'm linking up with Doodlebugs for FFF.

 My nephew just finished basic training for the Air Force. I wish I could be with him and his family during this proud moment. My students wrote him a bunch of letters recently and can't wait to get his responses to their silly questions: Do you have to parachute out of a plane? Do you get to launch missiles? What are you going to be for Halloween?

 We were off school on Tuesday and I had planned to get tons done but ended up going to Target and treating myself to lunch instead. I think I deserved it.

 This week we're learning subtraction strategies and I've been using the Subtraction Interactive Notebook from Angie at Lucky Little Learners. My kids love making these aspects of their interactive notebooks. It also gives them a chance to work on some of their fine motor skills.

sorry it's sideways...too tired to care.

 We're also continuing to practice other skills such as telling time, skip counting and working with three digit numbers. We've been using my Skip Counting Stars activity pack for math stations. The task cards with QR codes have skip counting by 2's, 5's, 10's and 100's. The kids love scanning the QR codes to check their answers.

High school soccer wrapped up this past weekend, with my oldest daughter's team taking 2nd in state! I'm just such a proud mama and can't wait to see my girls honored at the banquet tonight. I know it will be emotional because my oldest is a senior and will be going off to college before I know it.
