St. Patrick's Day Fun with a Splash of Five for Friday!

I am doing my first ever Five for Friday hosted by the awesome Doodle Bugs Teaching!  I always see amazing bloggers link up so I wanted to give it a shot!

This week was parent's week so I wanted to get all my crafting done for the week to impress show my parents what my kiddies have been up to! 

This is what's in the front of our door.  Excuse the lighting!  It's so hard to take good pics in the halls.  It's so dark and I quickly do it because I don't want teachers knowing I am taking pics!

1. This is from Easter Bunny Craft Pack!  The top says "Bunny Talk" but you can't really see it. =(  This cute little girl wants to name her bunny "Little Rabbit" and let her dog play with him.  If only that would be safe!! LoL

2.  This is my best friend during school hours.  She picks me up when I'm sad.  Makes me comfortable when I am grumpy.  She is everything I ever want.  I find myself wanting to read books to my class ALWAYS just so I can sit in this chair.  Everytime someone walks in they laugh because they know I love it.  I was actually annoyed when I bought this chair because it was $39 in the summer! But now I wish I can buy another for home!

3.  The gifts I got my kiddies today for St. Patrick's Day.  Not going to lie I bought these in February from The Dollar Tree and they have been in my truck ever since.   I kept telling myself I had to make cute tags to attach them but I just didn't have it in me.  I think they were adorable on their own anyways.  I loved the pencils too!

4.  This is a very sweet gift from a very sweet child!  She brought me this in the beginning of the week  and it made me smile. =)  Spring can't get here soon enough!

5.  Finally, this is my adorable yorkie "teacup" terrier.  I have to say teacup because when I bought him for tons and I mean TONS of money I specifically wanted a teacup!  I was broke during college when I bought him but still told myself and kept telling myself I could afford him.  His name is Diesel and he's the brattiest dog in the world.  I know for certain hes a human trapped in a dog's body!  But he looks precious here and clearly here's ready for St. Patty's Day!

The 2nd pic is a picture of a picture! There was an extra person there and didn't think she wanted her face floating around the bloggy world!  The other two are my bridesmaids/1st grade teachers/therapists/best friends!  Teri, Keri and I took this picture last year!  LoL  Those mustaches were definitely hard to keep on but def fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  What do you all do to celebrate?

Lucky St. Patrick's Day Freebie!

 I have been decorating my classroom with tons of crafts lately.  It's parent's night next week and I want my room to look packed with crafts.  So I got this cute idea from my gal Teri You can check out her original post by clicking HERE

Here's my take!

My kiddies loved making them too!  Take a look at the final outcome. =)

This one in particular made me giggle!

He's a smart boy.  He's not telling anyone if he has a pot of gold. But jeez, I hope he tells me.

Check back Sunday for one of my favorite crafts yet!

My Lucky Little Leprechauns!

Happy Sunday everyone.  

I had such a busy weekend!  Yesterday I celebrated St. Patty's Day in a town close to me.  Ahhhh such a good time.  Every year my friends and I go and dress up like leprechauns!  Such a fun day with my best girl friends!

Moving on to my kiddies! I started St. Patty's with my class early too!  So I decided to link up with Sharing Kindergarten's St. Patrick's Day Linky Party!






My class created their very own little leprechauns from my St. Patrick's Day Craftivity!  The kiddies loved making it and came up with some clever ideas if they ever met a leprechaun.

This is actually from 2 little girls I babysit.  One on the left is from a 4th grader and on the right is a kindergartner.  She's so cute.  She said if she met a leprechaun she would ask mommy to have a play date with her. LoL Too cute!!

This little boy said he would trap him and then take his gold.  Very smart!!

I love this one because it's just so girly.

My class had such a good time making these.  They were all sharing their ideas with the others in their groups.  If you want to see more on this packet, click HERE to get more info.

I am working on the bulletin board this week so stay posted to see all the Lucky Leprechauns together. =)

I am so psyched!  I am almost done with my latest Earth Day Craftivity!  I will be posting soon so stay tuned. Such a cute craft your kiddies will love making it and learning about the important of keeping our earth clean.

I am leaving you with a fun picture of my very own Lucky Little Leprechaun celebrating a very fabulous holiday!

What do you do to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Enjoy your Sunday!
