{Brace yourselves…it’s going to be random!} Let’s just start this post by stating the obvious.  Tomorrow is FRIDAY.  Woop woop! And, guess who I get to meet on Saturday morning????? Sweet Michelle!!! Ah!  So excited!  We’re getting together to gab, let our boys play, and gear up for the Tristate Bloggy Meet-up next weekend. Yay!  {PS.  Don’t forget to RSVP to the eVite!} * * * * * One of our skills this week was comparing and contrasting, so I brought out the old venn-diagram.  First, we did a whole group activity where we used a venn-diagram to compare and contrast two little kiddos that I drew. Then, I had one of my teacher friends pop in for a few minutes so the kids could watch us model the activity they were getting ready to complete.  {Also, LOVE my Smartboard.  Love, love, love it.  How did I EVER teach without it?!} Next, I partnered the kididdles up so they could compare themselves to one another.  They loved it!

Her.

Lastly, I just can’t help but mention our friend, The Teacher Wife.  Sister plays the ukulele, y’all.  Yes, the UKULELE!  I stand amazed.  Not only at her ability to tolerate a classroom of kiddos strummin’ all at the same time (I can barely handle walking down the 5th grade hallway during recorder season), but of her talent!  Sooooo cool!!!!!

* * * * * Now, onto the rest of my evening.  Which includes cutting out a mound of laminate for our February math centers that I’ll be starting next week…

…and Cherry Chip ice cream from Graeter’s while I spend time witih another Vinny.  As in Jersey Shore Vinny. I am trash TV fool, y’all.    Oh, and one last quick thing.  One of my precious littles ran up to me the other day and said, My mom showed me a picture of you on the internet!  My first thought: Oh, lawd.  Did she see me in a unitard?!  HA!!!!!  TGtomorrowIF!!!!!!!
