Five for Friday

It has been a rainy and cool spring break.  I spent the first part of the week in bed...sick.  I went to a clinic and tested negative for the flu.  Days later...still not 100% but all week I managed to work on some wedding stuff, some STAAR stuff, and managed to decorate for spring around the house.

I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching today to bring you Five for Friday.  I don't have five so it's four for Friday from me.  Hey, I'm fine with that.  That's how I roll.

 

ROCK THE STAAR Jeopardy

I finally updated my STAAR resources.  If you purchased the previous version,  just go and download the new one.  It has the NEW TEKS!  I think you will like the new one.  It has a section for data and charts as well as the new financial literacy TEKS.

 My daughter's wedding will be here before I know it.  I purchased a cool tool to help cut circles.  The wedding is Kate Spade theme...lots of gold and glitter.  At Hobby Lobby, I picked up scrapbook gold-glittery paper and cut them into circles.  No need to purchase a bag of them when I can do it myself for half the cost!

I can't wait for spring to arrive.  Since it is still dreary out, I lightened up the house with a few spring birds and a tulip table runner. 

 

This was an article in the paper this week.  I was informed just last week about it.  What a nice surprise.  Renaissance Learning provides tools to accelerate learning.  We use Renaissance Learning products on our campus and throughout the district.  You maybe familiar with Accelerated Reader, STAR Reading, STAR Math, etc...  If so, Renaissance Learning is the founder of these products.  The last paragraph of the article is my favorite.  "I am proud of my teacher's dedication to excellence and the gains they have made."  I'm so blessed to lead a school of wonderful teachers, students, and parents.
