What's Up for the Week...Checking the Schedule!

All aboard for another fabulous week in 4th grade!  Thought I'd take a minute and share what's on the schedule for us for this week.  In Social Studies we have been studying biomes, and in Science we are busy learning about barrier island ecosystems.  

This week we will study the marsh, the dunes, the beach, and the maritime forest.  We will also take a field trip to a GA barrier island to see these ecosystems for ourselves!  So excited!!!

My students will also turn in their homemade bird nest projects (can't wait to show you pictures)!

Lastly, we will round out the week with special Mother's Day crafts and activities.  Looking for some ideas?  Here are a few of my favs from Pinterest...

600 Follower Celebration SALE!

Hi!  Long time, no blog!  The last 5-6 weeks have definitely been some of the more challenging ones that I have had lately!  Unfortunately, I have been out of commission with a terrible case of SHINGLES!  Who knew?  I certainly didn't!  If you have ever had them before, you certainly have my sympathies!  

I feel so blessed to finally be on the mend!  The doctor said 3-5 weeks to heal, and he wasn't kidding.  My students, coworkers, and family have been so great to help and encourage me throughout this ordeal, and it spite of it all, we did have a great spring break and Easter!  For that, I am super-grateful!

I am just praying now for healing with minimal scarring, so I would certainly appreciate your prayers as well!

But on to more happy news...I have reached the 600 follower mark in my TPT store, and am so excited about throwing a sale in honor of so many new followers!!!  Visit my store to save throughout the weekend...20% off of everything!  Thanks so much for helping me reach this milestone!!!
