It was so lovely to have a Thursday that was really Friday:)
Teaching:
I don’t feel like we got much done but we completed a fact sheet about the Yukon Territory. It has the highest Canadian mountain- Mount Logan. It’s largest city and capital is Whitehorse which also happens to be the third largest city in Canada in actual size. It has the most northern botanical garden. The gold rush hit Alaska in 1896 and it became part of Canada in 1897.
We also got a class book made about comparing measurements. It was super cute as the book goes, ” I am smaller than a *, but bigger than a *”. The children came up with some neat ideas!
The best part of the day May have been my lunch! On Thursdays I have lunch delivered from lunch lady and today it was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. The ultimate comfort food on a wet, rainy day:)
This afternoon my co teacher and I got really ambitious and dyed eggs with 40 children. We only had five broken eggs and one tipped dye pot. Not bad! I like doing these things as I’m sure those are the events the children will actually remember:)
Knitting:
I have been alternating between knitting and reading and have gotten 1/4 of the way through the lace band at the bottom of my tank top. I’m hoping to finish tomorrow, but we’ll see.
Reading:
I am reading The summer of Sunshine and Margot by Susan Mallory and am really enjoying it so far!
Exercise:
Still not really energetic so nothing but walking to and from work and 50 squats for me today. I’m hoping tomorrow to go back to normal!
That’s it for me tonight and I’m looking forward to lounging in bed tomorrow morning!
Have fun!

How nice that you don’t have school tomorrow! I think the eggs look great and sound like a success!
I’ve got work tomorrow, but we get out early! So that’s good news!
Enjoy your longer weekend, AJ!😊
I’m loving the idea of my four day weekend right now!!!
I hope you enjoy your weekend too!
Love those eggs!
Thanks! It was a bit of an adventure getting them, but they turned out pretty!
What a fun idea to dye eggs! They look beautiful and so creative
It was my co teacher! The kids loved it though and they did turn out pretty!
You should make it an annual thing!
Yes it went well so it will probably become an annual event. I need to gather more supplies though!
I bet you can stock pile som for cheap after Sunday!
That’s true! I should hit the dollar stores on monday
I love that you colored eggs with your kids at school! I would have loved to have done that when I was that age!
They had a lot of fun! And only one set of tears so not bad:)
I am not sure I would ever take on coloring eggs at school, but I’m glad that it worked out so well for your students. I love completing class books it is such a great way to have the children collaborate on a project
The eggs weren’t my idea but they went better than expected!
We are trying to do two class books a month so that at the end of the year every student will get one to take home. We’ve mostly been covering the core competencies with them, but we have a couple of funny ones:)
I usually try to do enough for each child to keep one at the end of the year too, but I’m not going to have made enough this year. I always send them home daily with the children as I make them and with the schedule of my class it didn’t work this year to do enough…. oh well.
I’ve often held a draw for them and the kids find that fun:)
Enjoy your lounge time, and kudos for doing Easter eggs, you made a memory!
I’m hoping we did:)
I’VE MISSED YOU!!! ❤️❤️ I’m trying to get back to people’s blogs! It’s nice to see that you had a great day. 😊 My Thursday was like a Friday as well… Really busy! The only problem is that my Friday will probably ALSO be like a Friday! 😂😂 AND A FULL MOON!!
I can’t wait to see more on how you’ve been. 😊
Oh my a Friday full moon is the worst! I hope you survive and I’m glad to hear I dodged that bullet this month!
My life is the same as always so you haven’t missed much, but I’m glad you’re back as I’ve missed you too!
Those eggs look beautiful!
Thanks! I was impressed with how they turned out:)
They’re beautiful! You’re right about how children will remember it. I remember my second grade teacher used to do painting activities with us and nearly all of us remember the fun we had!
Oh good! I know my students only remember the big events:)
👍
That’s amazing that you dyed eggs with the children. I wouldn’t have had the guts to do that. How many eggs did you prepare?
I was a little worried, but considering how many kids we had in the room, it went well!
We had all of the kids bring 2 eggs from home and then my co-teacher found some fake eggs at Walmart for $1.99 that we had in case children broke theirs
Eggsalent planning! What about the fake eggs? Would you dye them like a regular egg?
Lol thank you! You’re so quick with words!! Yes the fake eggs took the dye just like regular eggs:) thankfully as we were worried about that!
Fake eggs to dye for! I am very impressed.
Very colorful with the Easter eggs – how fun to do this festive idea for the holidays!
Well I hope the children found it fun!
Sounds like a lovely day before Easter break 🙂 I’m sure they enjoyed it and will remember it – it’s the fun stuff like that that sticks with children.
Yes I hope they enjoyed it. My co teacher and I agreed it went well enough to do again:)
Sometimes there is NOTHING better than a tomato soup & grilled cheese! So fun you got to dye eggs with the kids too!
Oh it was so good!!!
The egg dyeing turned out better than I expected and I know it’s those types of events the kids will actually remember
totally!
