Five for Friday!!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for Five for Friday and I'm actually posting it ON Friday!  I think that's a first!

Here's five random moments from my week . . .
 

Nothing gets kindergarteners wound up like a toad!  One of my kiddos showed up one morning this week with this guy that he'd found in his garage!  The kids went wild!  The little sweetie that brought in this toad just happens to be the son of one of the other kindergarten teachers in our building and I wouldn't have wanted HER kiddos to miss out on all the excitement so I suggested that HER class babysit our toad while OUR class was at art--paybacks, hee hee . . . .
 


It's spring!  We have daffodils!  The sweetest thing about these daffodils is that I accumulated them throughout the week.  On Monday, one of my kiddos brought me a flower.  By the end of the week, I had three--each from a different kiddo.  So sweet!
 


RAIN--that's been the name of the game around here this week.  This is my own personal kiddo playing in our impromptu swimming pool in our front yard.  This was at the beginning of the rain.  Shortly after this, we had about 4 inches of rain in 3 hours!  Yikes!  (I must admit, I was secretly hoping for a "flood day" since we didn't use all 5 of our snow days this year!)
 

This week we had our annual art show.  There are just two school districts  in our county so once a year, they combine for a Celebration of the Arts. There is a TON of art on disply and then the two high school bands and choirs combine for a concert.  It's a really great display.  This year, my son Ethan (the one playing in the puddle!) had his unicorn selected for display!  You should have seen us--parents, sister, and both sets of grandparents--oohing and aaahhhing over this little creature!  I think it will be in The Louvre some day, don't you??
 


Yes, this is a screen shot of MY FIRST SALE on Teachers Pay Teachers!  I made my first sale this week!  I know I only made $1.50, but I am still just so amazed that someone out there wanted to buy MY product and use it in their classroom!  Hopefully, it's the first of many more!  I've benefited so much from TpT.  I can only hope that my products will help someone out as much as my purchases have helped me in my classroom!
 
Well, that's my Five for Friday!  Go link up  HERE

  1. I love that TpT app! :) Each cha-ching counts! :)

    I don't know what I would do if one of my kiddos brought in a toad. Probably run to the Science Lab and yell for help! :) You were smart to, um, "let" his mother's class babysit it for awhile! Ha!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    1. I told her I was drawing the line with the toad. Snakes are NOT welcome!

    1. Thank you! Us moms of Ethans need to stick together. Especially if your Ethan has nearly as much energy and ideas as my Ethan does!

    1. Thank you! It was very exciting! I'm glad I was at home or the people around me would have been looking at me funny when I started doing a happy dance!
