High Five for Saturday???

So, I wanted to do a little weekly recap on a "High Five for Friday" posting every week like some blogs do; however, trying to add something to my Friday to do list has not been very successful.  So, I need a Summary Saturday, or Saturday's Sizzle, or.....you get the idea.  

I basically need time to sleep in on Saturday and truly reflect and cherish my week, not breeze through on a Friday with half-hearted effort.  While I try to come up with a snazzy name (Snazzy Saturday?  Saturday's Snazzle?) let's review the week....

I am thankful for several things in both my worlds this week (home and school family)

1.  My husband and I are getting our daughter signed up with First Steps just to make sure that her speech and walking developments are on point.  We have been concerned for the past few months because she doesn't say a whole lot or speak in sentences.  

**She plays a mean game of charades, though.

Also, she walks a lot on her tip-toes.  Not as much as she did, but we still want to have it checked out. 

2.  I was photographed for my February Spotlight for FCPS this week.  Our School District photographer and videographer came out to my school to record me in my classroom, interview me and take pictures that will be presented on our FCPS website as well as the TV Channel.  (Not stressful at all!)  When the link is ready, I will post it here.

it might be interesting because I cut my hair between the 2 (video and the photo shoot)

3.  Tom Squad for FCPS met on Wednesday.  I am the teacher representative for TLC, so me and my crew of student leaders made a quick video and presented it to our Superintendent.  We are trying to improve school lunch for everyone, wish us luck!  Here's the video:

4.  I have started using an App in my classroom that randomly selects a student from the class and then I feature that student on Twitter.  I stole the "Tweet Seat" from Arsenio Hall, but anyway, I randomly select a student from class and ask them what they learned today, or what they are working on and take a picture and/or feature them on my Twitter account.  It's pretty neat and the students like to add their voice on Social Media.  

5.  I have officially come down with the sick bug.  Arden was sick a few weeks ago, my Husband is just now feeling better.... and now wham!  my turn!  However, even though I feel sickie, I still managed to exercise with my Tiger Fitness crew yesterday and it felt amazing!  So, Tiger Fitness is back on track with an Extreme Rampage, Warrior Dash and mini-marathon in my future.  I don't have time to feel bad!
