Five for Friday

Linking up with Doodlebugs Teaching to share 5 things from my week.  You might have seen some of these over on Instagram.  :)

This past week I realized that my vacation is about halfway over and that I had yet to even start on my to do list...  that scared me!  So I got busy...

First up I made one of my first math units to tackle - after place value and rounding comes adding & subtracting multi-digit numbers.  My intermediate kids have to go up to 4 numbers with and without regrouping, and they usually need some practice.  Insert some cute apple task cards (since we will be doing this in September).    
Then I was busy with my boys in the kitchen.



Yep, yep - pancakes on a Thursday morning AND Trix Treats.  :) Yummy!

I also went shopping a bit... wanted to share what I picked up.  The online shopping bug has really kicked into high gear!

I bought the Amazon Dry Erase Deal

These babies were on sale from $21.99 to $6.99 a box!!!

I have to learn to say NO soon... of course next week or the next the sales will be in the stores and I do have to buy school supplies for these new kiddos...

I did play some games... 

We both didn't realize someone had already won...

... and last I started prepping stuff for next year.  This was a biggie that I've had FOREVER (I'm exaggerating) but needed to wait for time and patience and ink to print.  I still have to laminate it, but that's another day...

3 Linky Parties - Must Have, Ate It, Tried It, and BlogLovin' Blog Hop

Linking up with Sabra over at Teaching with a Touch of Twang to share something I must have.  Yes, a day late, but that's okay.  :)

Last year I made up a recipe binder.  It has come in so handy throughout this year.  I love that everything is nice and organized into a ton of categories.

 

The recipes that I use all the time (like my crockpot ones) I keep in sheet protectors in case spills happen.  

Of course talking about my recipes make sense to link up with Christy over at Teaching Tales Along the Yellow Brick Road to share my most favorite recipe at the moment.  It actually comes from The Six Sisters website.  I love everything they make over there - and since their pictures are so much better than mine, I figured I might as well share theirs.  

Yes, this stuff is addicting - like I could eat it all without help if I didn't want to try and fit into my school clothes ever again.  Here is their recipe.  Using Almond Bark works better, but I've also used White Chocolate chips when Almond Bark wasn't to be found.  Told you it was addicting.  

Linking up with Holly over at Tried it Tuesday since both the above are things I use/made and loved!

Tori over at Tori's Teacher Tips is having a Bloglovin' Blog Hop (Linky Party) to make it easy for readers to find new blogs.  Just click the image above to head to her blog to start the hop....

and since we're talking Bloglovin' (again) here is the link to make sure you will still be following along with me.


  

Have a great day!
