Five for Friday and a Freebie!!

I'm linking up with Kacey at Doodle Bugs again for this week's Five for Friday.  Here we go...


1.  Rain, rain, go away!!  We've had so much rain.  This includes some pretty crazy storms.  This led to Flood Day 2...no school again today!  While it's nice to have a four day weekend to catch up on some things, it'll stink going back to school the week after Memorial Day.  Like I said yesterday, my school is right by a river and it's just a mess.  The river isn't even expected to crest until Sunday.  Hopefully we are done with rain for a while...
Shopping anyone?  This is the mall by my parents house...


2.  Our ABC countdown was suppose to start on Thursday.  Since we didn't have school yesterday or today, Monday will be the big day.  My kiddos are beyond EXCITED!!  Click here to see our version of the ABC end of the year countdown.


3.  I'm trying to go through my closet and purge clothes that I don't wear.  (See, trying to make the most of being stuck around the house!)  If I haven't worn it in a while- it's out!  I also really want to organize all my shirts by color...but I don't think I'm that motivated yet today!
This isn't my closet...but isn't it so so pretty?  I can dream... :)

4.  I'm going to start math stations/rotations on Monday!  I'm not sure what I want to call it yet :)  I blogged about it a few days ago.  I'm pretty stoked and ready to take the dive! :)  A huge thanks to Krystyn from Ms. Richard's Musings for being so willing to help me with my questions. My goal is to try and work out the kinks so that next year I feel ready to go right at the beginning of the year!  Are you going to look into starting math rotations?  Here are a few blogs that I found very helpful...

Telling Time Flash Freebie and Proofreaders Wanted!!!

Happy Sunday night, my friends!  Wow, is it just me or do weekends go by OH.SO.FAST!?!?

In math, we have been reviewing telling time.  Then, we have been extending our learning by going over other names for time (half past...quarter to...etc.) and some basic extended time.

Here is a little SCOOT game I created for elapsed time.  After we practiced and reviewed, this was a fun way to assess my students on their knowledge.  My kids just loved it!  It is very basic.  For example.  It shows a time.  Then it gives a little situation...We played Candyland for 30 minutes, now what time is it?

I am putting it in my TpT store for FREE until tomorrow night!  Don't delay and grab it today!! :-)  I just ask that you leave some feedback.  CLiCK HERE!!



Now...for a little help.  I am finishing up a huge game and activity time pack.  This pack focuses on telling time to the nearest 5 minutes.  It has a huge variety of games and activities as well as some practice/assessments sheets.  I'm almost done, and I'd love a few people to proof it for me.  Please leave your email below if you'd be interested!  Then, the updated unit will be yours for free!  THANK YOU!!!! :)
