Five for Friday with Doodle Bugs Teaching

My first linky. Yay! I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday.

1.) I absolutely love this shirt. The first time I saw it I had to contain my laughter in front of my littles. Maybe as a teacher I'm suppose to be offended, but I'm not because I can relate. I hated Math in school & oddly enough it's my favorite thing to teach my kids.
Excuse the cheese doodle dust all over my student's shirt, I took this right after he had eaten snack. 

2.) I received an e-mail from our Curriculum Supervisor who is also the Basic Skills supervisor, that at this point the district has not been notified as to how much NCLB funds we will receive next year, which jeopardizes my current part-time position. Even though I'm looking for a full-time position, it's still nice to know that I have this position to fall back on, maybe not now.

3.) My big boy got a really big boy haircut yesterday. I told the Mister to have them just buzz it off. Our little guy's hair was getting long & it seemed to be all different lengths. I thought maybe if we buzzed it off we would get rid of the baby hair. I don't know if that's what's going to happen, but I still like the haircut. It's perfect for the warmer months.
Poor guy looks so tired in this picture.

4.) Started DIBELS testing this week. It's the first time we are doing it, it's more of a practice run for us with full implementation next year. So far so good, but I'm not a big fan of the retell part of the oral reading. I feel like there has to be an easier way.

5.) 21 more days of school & 6 of those days are half days!!!

    1. Thanks so much Amy. I'm one of your newest followers. It's nice to have a friend that's new to the blogging world too. Could you actually tell me how to make my comment signature a link back to my blog, like yours? I use to know how to do but I can't remember now & it's making me so frustrated. Thanks.
