Teacher Appreciation Week, a Field Trip, and a TPT Sale . . .

It's been a busy week and it's not over yet!  There's so much going on at the end of the year . . .  it can be a bit overwhelming!

We started off the week with a little teacher appreciation!  Flowers, sweets, and homemade notes from our kiddos!


On Tuesday we took a field trip to the intermediate building to visit the 3rd grade classes.  Our students had a lot of questions and were full of emotions . . . excited, nervous, and sad to leave their home school for the past 3 years.  During our visit, we were paired up with another 3rd grade class.  We had sent over our questions ahead of time and they had answers prepared for us.  Students partnered up and took a tour of the building.  Getting lost and finding the bathrooms were the things my kids were most worried about! They also created bookmarks to take home and use with the book they are going to get for the summer reading program.  


As a part of Teacher Appreciation Week, Teachers Pay Teachers is having a sale!!  (I'm sure you all knew that already, right?? Ha!!)  So we are linking up with Blog Hoppin' to share the great products we picked up during this amazing sale!  

Here is just a few things I picked up, along with a lot of graphics to use in upcoming units!!

Just click on the pictures to take you to the units on TPT!





Be sure to check out the great products that other bloggers purchased at Blog Hoppin' 

And there are still a few hours left to shop so be sure to check out Carrie's Store and Caitlin's Store.  We have lots of great activities that can still be used this year and perfect for next year!

Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the week!  
Happy Shopping!

    1. Our kiddos are very excited and nervous for next year so the field trip definitely made some of them feel more at ease! It's a big transition for our little 2nd graders and they have a LOT of questions! So, it was fantastic for them to be able to ask the current 3rd graders and their future teachers!
