It's Five 4 Friday!!!

Created by Veronica Maria Jarski

Anybody feel like this at some point this week? 

I DEFINITELY did.
 
Needless to say, I am ecstatic to see the weekend. 

And in celebration of such, I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for another Five 4 Friday Linky Party!

Power Towers Update: As you may have read in my Mathematical Monday post, I created some Math Power Towers for my classroom.

You can find information about Power Towers here.

Anyway, my kiddos LOVED.THEM.

Every morning it's " Ms. Tidwell can we do Addition/Multiplication cupstacking? I can solve faster this time!"

It's too.freaking.cute.

Teen Wolf Mania: Any Teen Wolf watchers out there in bloggyland? I am soooo hooked on that show! I tuned in every Monday night on MTV.

Spoilers Alert!!!

What is up with Stiles? I was AT THE EDGE of my seat when he pulled a foxy trickster on Scott. 

And I hope Kira is okay.

Did anyone expect Deaton to be there? He may be the one to save Stiles....

But next week's preview has that up in the air.

Oh, and what about Peter's secret daughter? How is he Malia's real dad?

She wasn't a wolf, she was a coyote Werecoyote.

Whatever that is.

My head was spinning this week from all the random pieces.

I can't wait until next Monday.

Buffalo Winged BLISS: Not much to say here....

Except I cooked THE BEST tasting Buffalo Wings ever.

IN THE WORLD. With cut-up celery sticks.

Yummmy.

Creative Culture Masks: In our district, we do not have an art class/teacher. Our art teacher works with three different schools so we only see her once a semester. My kiddos were super excited to see her today!

We made African Masks!

Here are more pictures. Aren't they the cutest?

Introducing EduCARE: I am SOOO excited to introduce my new #linkup,The EduCARE Package. 

The EduCARE Package is about making connections with Edubloggers everywhere, for the purpose of encouragement and support, resources and goodies.

I had so much going on this week, it was hard to choose 5....

What are five highlights from your week?

Head on over to Doodle Bugs Teaching and "get up on" this linky. I would love to read what you have to say.

P.S- DON'T FORGET TO CHECKOUT EDUCARE!!!

Mathematical Monday Linky: Math Power Towers

Hey! I just wanted to hop online and link up with Jess from I Heart Recess during her Mathematical Monday linky.

I was doing my usual blog stal-browsing, and I stumbled across a blogger neared Teacher Tipster. He had a link to a YouTube video for his creation, Power Towers. 

Check out his video here.

My students have been COMPLETELY into cupstacking during Adaptive P.E with Mrs. B. They come back to me with mouths running a mile a minute. So, I thought, why not take what they love and incorporate math.

I am sneaky.

The next thing I needed to do was actually make the game.

Yay!!! 

I started with the following materials:

2 cans of Pringles, Avery Labels ( two sizes),small Solo cups,  and patterned duck tape ( with mustache's of course!)...oh and a sharpie (not pictured).

To keep this short and sweet I included a photo montage of the steps. First, I wrapped the cans up. Then, I created a label for multiplication and addition cans put in on and put clear tape on top. Last I wrote number sentences on smaller labels I cut up and taped them to the solo cups.

VOILA!!!

I can't wait until my kiddos see these! I will update you guys on how these work out in my Partner Math Center by my Friday post. 

If you are interested in a copy of my label design, leave me a comment with your email and I will send one over. I am going to try and make it a freebie in mt TpT store a little later...... when I have more time. 

Check back for it.

Okay, so I know you have some cool math things to share. So hop on over to I Heart Recess and "get up on" her Mathematical Monday linky!
