Positive Friday - Week of February 13th, 2012

Wow, where do I start with this week!  I would say that one of my positives this week is also a little sad.

Today, I am finishing a month long sub job in a 3rd/4th grade class.  I had such a wonderful time with the students.  It was nice to teach children who are very much independent.  We played a lot of fun games that I got from some of my blogging buddies.  You can check out Denise from Sunny Days in Second Grade's free bump game here: Love Bug Bump and Dana from 3rd Grade Gridiron's great fraction centers here: Fraction Frenzy Centers and Activities.  Dana's center games cost $7, but are well worth it!  These students showed me that it can be fun to teach older children and gave me the experience of teaching 2 grade levels in one class.  I will miss them a lot.  I look forward to my other subbing adventures until I can land myself my dream job!

The other huge positive is that I hit over 4,000 views on my blog this week!  That was nearly 1,000 views in just one week.  I am so thankful to anyone who has come and viewed my blog.  These two blog posts were the ones that really drove my views this week: Laura Candler's Paper Drop System (thanks Laura for the amazing idea that has worked so well for me!) and Saint Patrick's Day Task Cards.  Please take a look at them.

I would appreciate any comments.  Just click the reply button and tell me what you loved best about this week.  It just takes a minute and it will let everyone be able to read even more positives.
