Five for Friday

I wish I was in Las Vegas this week for the SDE I Teach 2nd and the Teachers Pay Teachers Seller Conference, but we have some big costs coming up so it wasn't in the cards this year. Next year I WILL be there!

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for the Five for Friday Linky!  Here are five random things from my week!

I've become OBSESSED with Periscope this week!  It's an app where people will live stream what they are up to and you can follow along.  Angie from Lucky Little Learners and Ashley from Schroeder Shenanigans in 2nd started the trend for teachers.  They started live streaming from the TpT conference, and now several other conference attendees are doing it as well.  It's SO awesome for those of us who couldn't make it to Vegas to feel like we are part of the event!  You get an alert when someone you follow goes live and you can hop on and follow along with whatever they are doing.  You can tap the screen to give them hearts to show that you appreciate what they are doing.  I've done it so many times that I now see hearts even after I've logged off!

This week was Shark Week!  As a teacher I'm always looking for a reason to celebrate.  I made some "fin"tastic shark themed math centers that I added to my Teachers pay Teachers store.  This past year my students loved doing math centers.  Many of my centers are matching centers and after the students have made all of the matches they will have the answer to a joke.  It motivates students because they like jokes, but they also know right away if they got something incorrect because they joke answer won't make sense!

It's a little embarrassing, but we've lived in our house for 8 years now and have done NOTHING to it during that time.  We went to Home Depot to get some paint samples to repaint one of the bedrooms.  We started with 50 shades of gray (literally) and have finally narrowed it down to a few choices.

I got to see a former coworker for lunch yesterday and it was SO nice to catch up.  I love getting together with people I haven't seen in awhile!

I love summer break for so many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that I get to spend all day with my sweet little princess.  Just like all moms, I can't stop taking pictures of her.  I have hundreds of pictures on my phone of her.  I took this one this week and couldn't stop laughing, so I just had to share!  She's such a goofball!
