Happy Friday, friends! I’m linking up with Doodle Bugs for a little Five for Friday fun! So, here it goes….
1. These lollipops were a huge hit. I gave students a certain amount of printable coins and they put their lollipop together! They counted the coins to see how much their specific lollipop cost. I was able to easily differentiate based on my student’s performance on coin counting this week. I gave easier/more difficult amounts based on what I thought my kiddos could handle!
2. I’m using my large magnetic coins from Educational Insights to do a quick coin counting assessment on each of my students. I got tired of having to get the coins out and ready every time that I had a second to pull a student back to my table. So, I stuck the coins to my {{ugly}} filing cabinet. My students come to my cabinet, they can move the coins around if needed, and tell me the total amount. If they have difficulty, I take notes on what they got stuck on… was it the quarters? counting by fives? adding on? And I am able to target those kiddos during math station small group time!
3. We go to the computer lab every Friday morning. We do a variety of things during this time, but today I wanted to continue counting coins. I found these three games and my kiddos LOVED them! You can click on the picture to take you there!
4. I absolutely love being at the same school as Joelle. Seeing her cute face every once in a while just warms my heart! I also really love knowing her teacher personally!! She will send me pictures of Joelle’s work, or little snip-its from her day. There’s nothing better than knowing your child is being taken care of and loved on!!! She sent me a picture of Joelle’s note to her this morning. Her teacher is an OU fan, so Joelle tries to convert her to being a longhorn as often as possible!!!
5. Speaking of Joelle and her teacher. I found these cute little pencil signs floating around on Instagram. I just couldn’t pass up such a great deal on something so stinkin’ cute! So, I bought Christmas presents from Jo’s current and previous teachers. They came in the mail yesterday, and they are even cuter in person! If you are looking for teacher gifts, I suggest you visit Tallahassee Sunday on Etsy!
I love letting fellow teachers know how their children are going in my lessons. They usually say the darndest things and I find that fellow teachers understand and appreciate those funny teaching moments a little bit more 🙂 Sheri Early Years with Sheri

I like the “Log Horns” – how cute it that! I'm a Baylor grad but even that made me smile! Too cute!
