http://doodlebugsteaching.blogspot.com/2013/04/five-for-friday-linky-partyapril-19th.html



I love joining this party and I am pretty sure I say this every weekend :)

but I am going to say it again... 
I LOVE JOINING THIS LINKY!!! 

alrighty number one
got my new computer...
I decided on a MAC and I am so excited I did!!!
this is a pic of all the "geeks" getting my mac just the way I like it
they were super sweet and set it up 
just for me...
they bookmarked stuff and set up my numerous email accounts and all kinds of stuff...
great experience
how cute are they???



 ******************************
TWO

my mama and I LOVE going to auctions
and the big red barn auction in San Marcos, Texas is one of our FAVES
so we had a girls day

I wanted this big bad boy 
but I ended up at my top price and it still went for couple hundred above that
WHAAAAAA
still wish I would have gone for it
oh well 
guess I will have to go to another auction
another thing I spotted at the auction 
right from the beginning was this GIANT MOOSE
OH I wanted this moose so BAD
we waited and WAITED for the moose to come up...
and waited some more
the more I waited the more I thought of all the fun things I could do with this in my
CLASSROOM
yeppers in my CLASS
I had thoughts of bunny ears for Easter, a red nose and Santa hat for Christmas, giant sunglasses and a beach towel for summer vaycay, 
I mean these thoughts just kept popping up and every time I thought of a new costume I got more excited
I finally went up to one of the auction assistants and asked when he would be coming up
and 
with tears in my eyes I am going to tell you this....
he said it was already auctioned off a few weeks ago 
BUT the owner hasn't picked him up yet
WHAAAAA
the new owner obviously does NOT appreciate McConaughey the Moose the way I would
he would have a HAPPY 4ever home with me!!!
WHAAAAAAA
 so if you have a giant moose head you are looking to get rid of or know someone that does
and you want to help me in my moosey dreams
please let me know
needless to say my little fam is going to a market days tomorrow and first on my list is
GIANT MOOSE HEAD!!!

 and everything else I can
squeeze into their little 4th grade brains
to do a final last minute prep for
THE TEST

point of view soooooo
this anchor chart is my solution
and YES it has helped
and WHOOOO doesn't think it is cute

 *************
Drew collected caterpillars a few weeks ago on our walk 
and we had about 10 in a little critter cage
well
yesterday we had  butterflies
it was really fun to watch him let them go
we still have about 4 more that need to come out of their cocoons
so there you have it...

my FIVE

and I do have some news to tell you about...
I was going to be moving grade levels BUT I am not
I am staying in 4th
YAY me!!!
even though my room is the opossum graveyard 
I was getting a little sad with the thought of me leaving my room...
I love my room 
I have been in it for like 12 years...
it is MINE!!!
