Five for Friday

Happy Friday Friends!  
I am excited to recap my week with Doodle Bugs Teaching’s Five for Friday. 

I stumbled upon this quote on Pinterest and I just love it.  I have said it time and time again, but I am so thankful for the connections I have made through this TpT/blogging journey.  We are all in this journey together and when we have the opportunity to support and encourage one another it is inspiring.  A big shout out to my blogging buddy Jayme from Teach, Talk, Inspire.  If you haven’t checked out her blog or store you should!  She is so talented and I have learned so much from her.  I appreciate our conversations and her support.  
This week one of my grad class assignments was to explore a collaboration tool to use with your students.  I decided to look into Kidblog.  It seems easy to use and I want to explore using it with my kiddos this year.  I think it would be a fun way to tie technology into my lessons, or I thought about using it as a homework activity where parents could connect with our learning.  Has anyone used Kidblog before?  Any tips and advice?

Have you seen these cute Pals?  I made this Pal using Polka Dots and Pals‘s “Create a Pal” pack.  I love it!  Lauren includes tons of options to create your own Pal and it is really easy to do! I highly recommend it!  

This week I got some really fun mail.  A+ Images, Inc. is giving away free, yes you read that right FREE tshirts to teacher bloggers.  Be sure to go to their website to check it out.  I will wear my blogger shirt proudly because I love this journey!
Before I sign off for the weekend I am excited to share that it is my birthday on Saturday.  I am turning the big 3-2 and I am excited to celebrate.  So far my thirties have been a great time in my life and I am excited to see what this year will bring.  To celebrate, my whole store is 20% off through the weekend.  
Thanks for taking the time to read through my Five for Friday.  Be sure to check out Doodle Bugs Teaching to read other recaps.  
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
