Where the Wild Things Learn

Oh Friday, how nice of you to finally make an appearance!!
I am ECSTATIC that we are DONE with testing.
Like I can’t hide my excitement.
In fact…
You might find me skipping down the hall today (I learned from the best 3rd grade teacher across the hall!)
In fact, I think I’ll skip the rest of the day in joy πŸ™‚

So, because of testing our week wasn’t THAT exciting. But we did our best to make it good! Here is a recap of what we did!

We started the week with a “Celebration OAA Kick off!”

 And had a “training day” where kiddos had to answer OAA Math and Language Arts questions to get back in for dodgeball, or to make a run or shot count in kickball or basketball. The kiddos LOVED it! Interactive learning at its’ finest πŸ™‚

We squeezed in some poetry for the last week of April. We used the Poetry Palace TPT product and they loved it! My favorite (and their favorite) were the shape poems! They made such wonderful ones in their Poetry Notebooks!

 
We started working on our Mother’s Day craftivity!! We made these cute little cupcakes and wrote about all of the reasons are moms are “The SWEETEST with a cherry on top!” They have just done their rough drafts so far, and will write their final copies on their craft next week! This is a product in my TPT store and PERFECT for our little learners to make for their sweet mom’s. You can pick it up by clicking here.ο»Ώ
 
We celebrated the END of testing week with a little “relaxation and a movie” party. We made the VIP passes from the amazing “We Rocked the Test” freebie, and kiddos used those to get into our VIP only party! We had punch, popcorn, and chips, and watched Where the Red Fern Grows because we just finished the book (which I bawled even though I’ve red it 10 times, and all my kiddos cried too!) It is such a classic!

 
My volleyball girls always know how to put a smile on my face.. and after a ROUGH week to say the least, (kidney infection topping it all off) I walk into practice to see them setting the net up like this… They are just TOO cute, right?! So OF COURSE I had to take them to get icecream the last half hour of practice:)

(How cute and hilarious is my team! Of course I jumped in for the photo shoot, too!)
 
I also want to share  FREEBIE with ya’ll!! One of the biggest things we struggled with for test prep was using context clues. So I found this great book and my library! It is PERFECT for using context clues.
 
The whole book has words written in different languages, I listed these words on a worksheet, and as I read students had to use context clues to figure out the real meaning. They were laughing and loving it! And then they started calling their pencils “zimulus” and their desks “deski’s”. You can click here to download the freebie!
