5 for Friday...



I am joining the masses who participate in  Doodle Bugs Teaching Five for Friday's linky party!

Here are 5 random things from my past week:

It is now testing season here in San Antonio which means I stress out for my little froggies.  They are so young to be tested so rigorously!!!!  Anywho, here is one way I deal with the stress......... a 5 lb bag of  Haribo Gummi bears!
 

This is my team (minus our team leader).  We are dressed in our camo during our annual week long   "Camp Write Along"!  The kids love it and so do we!  (I'm the one in the middle holding the sign)

This is Ainsley and Cadence.  Aren't they ADORABLE!  They are the daughters of my favorite Thirty -One Gifts consultant and one of my dear friends, Blair.  I went to see Cadence play in softball this week.  Ainsley was there to watch too.  Love these girls! (Blair is to the  left of me in the picture above).

The fourth grade team won a grant to plant a garden!  I will blog about this soon but the kids are           loving having their very own garden.  Here is one one our strawberry plants that produced a baby        strawberry!

This last picture is of  my little froggies telling ghost stories around the "camp fire".  I used real logs,           tissue paper, and a lantern to create our fire.  We all loved how it glowed when he shut off the lights.

That wraps up my week!  Have a wonderful weekend friends!

  1. I love the camo idea, you guys look great! The garden must be awesome. My friend and I have always wanted to do this but never had a chance to get the grant going. I can't wait to read about your garden!

  6. Where did you find the Camp Write Along idea? I love it! I started a student garden at my school three summers ago. Such a great experience for the kids. Kudos to you!
