I will blog tons more next week about the adventures in room 14!! We will be up to our elbows in science experiments and nature walks and all the other fun stuff we haven't gotten to do because of that STUPID test!! So.....stay tuned!
For now, here are 5 random things from my week:
1. This week was the season finale of Duck Dynasty. I must say.......I secretly judged my husband when he began watching this show. I would sit back and think, "My Lord.....who wants to watch these idiot rednecks?!?!" Now I know......I DO!!!! I {heart} this show so much!!!! I love that it's kid friendly and we can all watch it together. I love that they pray at the end of every show. And.....I love Jase <3
2. You know that finance class that I've been griping about for....oh, I don't know......FOREVER?!?! Well, I finally got to take the final exam and the class is now OVER!!!
3. I noticed this week that Third Grade & Lovin' It's Instagram page has 103 followers! That just blows me away! I love Instagram, especially for following teachers. It gives me a glimpse into their classrooms and since I'm such a visual person, it really blows my mind how creative so many teachers are! I'm extremely grateful that 103 other people wanna take a look into my classroom. It's an honor :)
4. After 2 days of state testing, it was game day galore in room 14 (for 2 days......ssssshhhhhhh)
5. As a thank you for a hard week's work, our principal spent some extra mool-ah and paid a few spa ladies to come and pamper us during our planning periods!! Yayyyyy!! We got exfoliated, massaged, lotioned, sprayed.......the works! Luckily, my planning/conference time is at the end of the day, so I really let my hair down (literally.....there was a scalp massager tool that I almost took home. Oh.Mi.Word. It was heaven!)
So, there was a little tid-bit from my week. I'm hoping to rest up and catch up on some blog stalking this weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend.........smooches :)
Keep livin' the dream,
Oh my gosh what a nice principal!!! That's so awesome! And the kids must have loved games day after all that testing! I've just become your latest follower- I'll have to check you out on instagram too- I love instagram but didn't even think of using it for school stuff!

Thanks for following my blog, Serena! I love Instagram.....I highly suggest using it for your classroom pics that you wanna share, but don't necessarily need a full blog post for, ya know?
DeleteWow, I can't believe your principal did that - that is amazing. Congrats on finishing your class - you have a lot of reasons to celebrate this weekend.

ReplyDeleteThanks for following, Ashley!! I love my principal. She works hard and is demanding of her teachers.....but is always looking for ways to show her appreciation. You have a great weekend, too )
DeleteI don't do instagram (...yet). My principal had people come do chair massages for us as well. I know it is a luxury, but I don't like people touching me...so I didn't do it. Weird, I know.
ReplyDeleteAre you in TX too? I'm a 3rd Grade Reading Teacher in TX.

DeleteDo you have a female principal? I can't imagine our male principal setting something like that up - how fun for all of you!
ReplyDeleteYou have made me want to set up an Instagram account!
