Five for Friday

Happy Friday Friends!!

I am linking up with Kacey over at Doodlebugs for

fiveforfriday

Here are my 5 random things…

1. SPRING IS HERE!!!

Actually with the temperatures the past three days being 71-91, it feels like we skipped spring.  But we have a cold front coming in, so soon enough spring weather.  I created a spring-themed newspaper for the kiddos to do.  Oh my word.. they LOVED this… (Look for a pack of these in the future!)

Here are some pictures:

Here is the springy bulletin board to display them!

Grab the newspaper for free here!

I printed this on regular computer paper and then copied the two pages on 11 by 17 paper.  If you don’t have 11 by 17 paper you could use staple the two pages together!

 

2. Free Photo Editing Program

For the kiddos’ faces on the flowers on the bulletin board display, I wanted to make them line art so they could color them.  While searching online to make them coloring images, I found an awesome editing program called Ipiccy. Using a regular photo I manipulated it to look like this:

We loved the way they looked black and white so we didn’t even have them color it.  But definitely check out this site.  You can do so much!

3. All Ready for Earth day

I finished my Earth Day pack and have everything ready to go!  If you want your whole Earth Day planned and you teach grades 2-5, make sure you check out this unit!  I printed, copied, cut, and assembled materials in about 1/2 hour.  I know my kiddos will love these activities! Check out my detailed blog post HERE!

What can I say?!  I am IN LOVE!

5. Jamaica

AMAZING vacation to say the least.  I want to go back again already!  If you ever get to go I stayed at the Grand Palladium and it was exceptional service, food, and views.  FABULOUS!
