TGIF! It's even better than Friday, it's the Friday my Spring Break starts! I'm starting off with sharing my Five for Friday!
1. It's My Birthday
I have had a great time connecting this week with people while celebrating my Blog Birthday. I can't wait to give away the amazing prizes Sunday. My $1 sale is going amazing and here is today's freebie for my week of freebies!
2. My Students Finally Love Reading
I have had the toughest time encouraging my kids to read and take comprehension quizzes this year. No matter what I tried this year for incentives, I got nothing! I was looking for other incentives and found this program and had to try it. It is from Fitness Finders and called simply I Love to Read! I will share more about this unbelievable effective and easy to implement program in a post next week.
3. My Favorite Books
I love to read! Here are my favorite books from the week. I loved the children's book, The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. This story was great for reviewing drawing conclusions. For my pleasure reading I just finished Kristan Higgins by The Best Man and loved it! It was a funny, romance that would make for a great Spring Break read. (I am always looking for great reads, have you read a good book lately?)
4. iPad vs. Paper???
I loved this video!
5. Where I hope to be next week!
I just hope it warms up! For some reason Winter and cool temperatures decided to make an appearance finally in Florida now???
Grr to the cold weather in FL! I am leaving tomorrow to get there but I am determined to come back with a tan. As long as it's about 60...I'm laying out! I'm your newest follower :)

Kickin’ it in Kindergarten
Hi. I will certainly check back to read about your reading incentives. Some years some classes need extra encouragement.
