Five for Friday x2 and a FREEBIE!

WOW!!  That was a lot of something!  I am off on another "no snow" day Friday, which was needed.  For some reason, I have been sleepy all weekend!  Maybe because I have been sleep walking and didn't know it!  My husband told me I did last night.  Well, anyway, onto some real business!  I am linking up with Michelle, aka The 3AM Teacher and Doodle Bugs Teaching for both of their Five for Fridays.

1.  My Friday Find:  I have been searching for the perfect purse for spring for quite some time.  I actually saved some of my last TPT payout for one off of etsy, if I needed to go that route.  I love a crossbody since I have a little one to tote around.  I don't have the resources to hike the purse up my arm all the time.  On the other hand, I wanted a purse I can just throw stuff in and not have to work a jigsaw puzzle to make sure it all fits.  I found it last weekend and sent my husband back to get it on President's Day for the extra 20% off!  It is a medium size crossbody made by The Sak.  LOVE this purse!  It has a  compartment on the flap to put those things I use every once in a while in and a big compartment to throw things in!  Love it!!!!!!  Mine is in a chocolate brown color, not the color below.

2. Friday Frazzle!  My printer!  UGH!!!  My printer at work stopped printing anything black.  I need the black ink quite a bit, so this was not a good thing!  I asked Mr. Computer Guy if it could be fixed, and he said probably not.  AND, I had just purchased a good chunk of ink for it, so I started looking for printers that matched the ink I have.  Nope, don't make any of those anymore!  So, I asked Mr. Computer Guy which type of printer to buy, and he said Wal Mart!  Now, to go get it and set it up!  Anyone need any HP 60 ink in black or color?  I will make you a deal!  Seriously!  Also, Wal Mart printer recommendations are welcome!  Any ideas?

3.  Friday Funny:  Each week I spend time with my kindergarteners working on Concept of Word, especially since it is my goal for the year.  So, we were working on tracking our poem "It's Raining, It's Pouring" on Wednesday.  One of the students took the alligator claw pointer, closed his eyes, and tried to track the poem!  I had to hold back laughter and anger at the same time!  What a funny look he gave me when I told him that just wasn't going to work!!

Alligator claw tracking!

4.  Friday Freebie:  I am always behind on things when it comes to holidays.  I just don't do well with planning ahead because they just seem to sneak up on me.  So, I realized that this week is Read Across America.  So, I started working on some fun activities for the kids which will be in a pack posted later this weekend.  I started by making my Silly Sentences activity.  It includes 6 sentences, 3 statements and 3 questions for students to put together.  There is also a recording sheet.  Thank you to Michelle from The 3AM Teacher for the fun graphics!  Grab it in my TPT store by clicking here or on the picture below!
