Wow! It's already Friday! This week has gone by fast. My week of vacation is over and summer school has started already and it is time for Doodle Bugs fun linky- FIVE FOR FRIDAY! Link up and join in the fun!
1. Spring Flowers
Since I had some time off before summer school started on Tuesday, I finally got some spring flowers planted. I love colorful flowers!
2. Power Yoga
I just got this yoga dvd in the mail. This is not your relaxing, stretching yoga! Jillian puts you through a work out with this one! Loving it too!
3. Sight Word Balls for Summer School
Did I mention that we are back in school already?? Yes, okay I did...I guess I am just in disbelief how fast that week off went! Some of my groups have been working on sight words and using the sight word ball to make it more fun. Where ever your thumbs land, those are the words you read.
4. Curious George
My incoming kindergartners and first graders are doing a Curious George unit in summer school. Who doesn't love Curious George? We are going to be doing a lot of fun stuff!
5. Field Trip Time
Once a week during summer school, each grade level group gets to take a field trip. This week we went to Jump Around. What a lot of bouncy, jumping, get out all that extra energy fun!!
Lori, I would love to see your Curious George unit! Do you have it up on TPT? We don't have incoming K's at our summer school but we have incoming firsties and I think that would be a great idea.

Hi Lori! I'm a new follower! I have most of Jillian's dvds and they sure keep my in line (when I'm not finding reasons to avoid them, that is).

I love the idea of taking your kids on weekly field trips because they definitely need the break. Summer school will be over before you know it, and you'll be back on break! I've always wanted to try a Jillian Michael's dvd.
ReplyDeleteDon't Let the Teacher Stay Up Late
That's a special treat for your summer school kids. I'm sure that even though they need the extra academics, they also need to enjoy some time to have summery fun too.

Let us know how you like your new DVD. She's a tough one! I love to use Yogalosophy (Jennifer Aniston's trainer Mandy Ingber) .
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'm in my last month of school and I could really use a jump in that pit!

I ADORE Curious George! How long is your summer school? I've never heard of it for young kids like kinders and 1st graders.
ReplyDeleteNext question-how did you make that picture collage?

Jump Around looks like a blast! I would love to do that!
ReplyDeleteMaria, I don't have the Curious George unit up on TpT yet. I am still working on it. If you have anything specific that you might want in it, email me and let me know. I will see what I all I can get in it. I will be working on it this summer. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteKatie, I am liking Jillian's yoga dvd too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shawna! Now if I can just remember to water those flowers. :)
ReplyDeleteSusanna, Jillian's dvd does keep you in line! I have to make sure I do it. :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa, the kids love the weekly summer school field trips. And it helps with attendance too!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Tammy! Even if they need to work on reading or math in summer school, they need to have some fun too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandee! I am liking the new yoga dvd. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you found my blog and through FB! Welcome Laura, glad you are here!
ReplyDeleteSara, the kids loved the jump around and were worn out from it! Email me when you get a chance- lv2813@aol.com You were one of my feedback winners. :)
ReplyDeleteShelley, I am liking Jillian's dvd so far. I haven't heard of Yogalosophy. I need to look into that!
ReplyDeleteShannon, our summer school is 19 days long. We include our incoming kindergartners so they can start getting used to the building and routine in an abbreviated way. I made the picture collage using Instacollage app. Fun!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, Jump Around was a lot of fun and we had a lot of tired kids afterward!
