Not only does that mean a little break, it also means time for Doodle Bugs Teaching's Five for Friday!
I'll start the count with some class goings on.
Number 1 is Earth Day. On Monday we did a little Earth Day writing craftivity. We started by brainstorming a list of ways to help the Earth. My sweeties came up with some fabulous ideas. Then they completed the project. They turned out really cute. If you would like a free copy of this activity, you can click on the picture.
Number 2 is field trip fun. We went on our last field trip of the year to a local animal park. The kids had a wonderful time. Since it is spring there were lots of adorable babies. I really had to stop myself from putting this little baby pig in my jacket pocket. It was born only hours before we arrived. So cute!
Number 3 puts a large lump in my throat, count down to kindergarten. I can not believe the time is almost here. A is ready but I am not. In my mind she is still a little baby. Time marchs on and I better get in step.
Number 4 is new sandals. My friend had a pair of Sseko sandals on the other day. Of course a discussion ensued. They are sandals that have interchangable ribbons that you can tie in all different configurations. Cool right? Even better the company that makes them is a fair trade organization based in Uganda and commited to helping the women of that country. After checking them out for myself, I had to order a pair. You can take a look by clicking on the picture below.
Number 5 is my favorite dress of the season. J. Crew's factory site has this sweet little dress in solid colors and in this polka dot print. I think it is simple enough to live on for many springs to come. It is one of those styles I will want in every color.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
Those shoes are not just cute, they're for such a great cause! Thanks for the tip! LOVE the J.Crew dress - perfect for the summer!

ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what thinking about Kindergarten Registration is doing to you. My daughter will start Kindergarten in 2014 and tears pour down my face just thinking about it. UGH! Why do they have to grow up so fast??? I feel for you, I really do! :)
