Thanksgiving Fun!

It’s been crazy this week!  I’ve been planning for my sub next week (explanation in a sec), trying to get assessments done, and battling a nasty cough!  And to top it all off, I thought I would pretend to be 19 again last night and go to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn.  Um. I’m not 19 anymore and I can’t stay up until 2:30 in the morning and then get up at 6 at teach 16 kids. But, on the positive side, I am hopping on a plane in the morning for a vacay in sunny Florida!  I am so excited, and I CAN.NOT.WAIT. to wake my girls up in the morning and tell them we are going.  Yep. I have been such a great secret keeper!  My hubby is off to pick them up now from my mom’s house – she watched them while we secretly packed.  Now, I have to look busy when they come home. *wink wink*

So here are a few shots of our literacy and math centers this past week:

I really hoped to have had my gingerbread unit done before we left, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to complete it.  I hope to get it done as soon as I get back.  I am NOT bringing any computers or school stuff with me on this vacation – it’s family time with Mickey Smile SO.EXCITED.

    Do you use those plastic tubs for the kids to roll their dice in? That is pure GENIUS! I was having trouble with my kids rolling their dice and them ending up on the floor and getting confused with other children's dice, etc!! I am so going to try that idea! Thanks!!
