Well it's not really Friday anymore...but this weekend is just  one long fall break to me!!

Let's get this party started!

I went to Seattle a few days ago and what do I  remember?? The coffee!!  Yes, the Seahawks, Space Needle, rain, all those things impressed me. But, this work of art was as delicious as it was pretty!  #coffeetalk

The Public Market.   Can you even believe that this bouquet was ten dollars!!!??? 

 Merry Christmas to me!! This picture doesn't even do these flowers justice.  It's worth the 5 hour airplane ride just to get these for $10.  

So, I got these cool lasery finger lights for my reading groups!  I will do ANYTHING to make them read!!  My students absolutely LOVED these!!  I bought them at World Market for around $5.  Last month, witch fingers, this month finger lights.   Next month, who knows?? Maybe reindeer paws.  hee hee... 

FEASTMODE!!!

 Every year I push all the tables together and gather my first grade family around for some of 

 Mrs. Harwell's home  school cooking!  I'm telling you, my kids have never looked so happy! 

 I overhear them say things like, 'this is the best day ever!', 'this is like a real family!' or 'this red stuff (cranberry) is disgusting!'   

FREEBIE!!

Last chance to use this Math Thanksgiving Freebie!  If you're lucky enough to be teaching on Monday,  (wink! wink!), or you just want to give your own kids something to do, 

here ya go!!

It's three different pages of addition, differentiated to meet the needs of all your first graders! 

I'm thankful for everyone that took the time to read my blog! Happy thanksgiving! 

Special thanks to Doodle Bugs Teaching for letting me link up with your awesome blog! 

I am a day late...sorry I just cannot!!! get a blog out on a Friday.  I don't know how you fellow bloggers do it.  Please message me your secret!  Either way, TFIS!

Here we go. (please forgive me!) 

Thanksgiving addition FREEBIE!  

I 'whipped' up this little resource for, well, whoever wants/needs it!  I am totally using this when I have a sub next week! lol. 

 I don't usually like for the sub to teach 'Investigations' so I leave practice pages.  The seasonal pages are fun and relevant.  

I differentiated these to suit the needs of my students!  Enjoy!

Science rocks.  The kids had a blast  practicing force and motion. Enough said. 

K.I.S.S.  Keep it simple...sweetie

I have to look back at my pictures on my phone to refresh my memory of the week!  Boy, am I getting old or are the weeks getting loooonnnggeeerr?  I  believe it's the latter.  (wink)  I don't have emojis on this keyboard, hence the wink.  

Jackpot!  Now I remember what I just did 2 days ago!  I attended an amazing Younglife banquet.  My oldest daughter attends YL and I just can't say enough about it.  In a nutshell, it's a 'come as you are, accepting, loving, faith based group'. It's nation wide, so check it out if you have teens or just want to volunteer!!  I promise you won't be disappointed! 

'Home grown' table was just gorgeous

Kate, Kristin and me!  (me on left!) 

I'm going to Seattle for the first time.  I hope I run into Meredith Grey or McSteamy.  Okay, I know he's gone, but maybe he is roaming the streets near my hotel.  fingers crossed!  GO HAWKS!

I'm super excited!  

And I will save the BEST for LAST.  TEACHERS.  Yes, I am also a teacher. But I have to give huge props to EACH AND EVERY TEACHER.  TRUE SUPERHEROES.  

  They truly love, inspire, educate, nurse, mentor and push our kids to do their personal best.  

PS.  This is only a few of us, but you ALL rock!   Angels, heroes, whatever you want to call them. Thank you God for our teachers.  

Enjoy this fall weekend friends.
