Five Things: Book 15

Things may bring been tranquillity on the blogging front, only life itself has been the contrary of tranquillity lately. If you've been watching the news, you lot bring likely heard cite of the Oklahoma Teacher Strike/Walk-Out. As an Oklahoma teacher, this has been consuming my life lately. At the get-go of the schoolhouse year, nosotros beak a lot near feeling "teacher tired." Well, this week, I learned that "teacher on strike tired" totally trumps "teacher tired." That's run of the argue this post is titled "Five Things" instead of "Five Things Friday.

1. The bulk of this past times calendar week has been spent at the Oklahoma State Capitol building. My district chose to unopen downward for the entirety of concluding week, as well as hence nosotros rode schoolhouse buses to the Capitol each 24-hour interval to protest. The release of people at the Capitol each 24-hour interval was astounding.



2. The woman raise of a sometime educatee gave each employee of my entire schoolhouse district a Tupperware H2O bottle as well as hence that nosotros could rest hydrated during the walk-out. We are a pocket-size district, only I even as well as hence can't imagine how much of her ain coin she had to pass to buy all of these bottles. If you're inwards the marketplace for some Tupperware, I highly recommend purchasing through Tabatha's page!


3. Before marrying an Australian, hot cross buns were aught to a greater extent than than the theme of a weird children's song. Now, I know that they are a delectable Easter treat. Technically, I was supposed to brand them inwards fourth dimension for Good Friday, only I didn't acquire unopen to to baking this year's batch until Easter evening. I tried a novel recipe this year, as well as they were definitely a hit. In the past, I've ever relied on the Pioneer Woman's recipe. I was curt on fourth dimension this year, as well as hence I constitute a recipe that allow me utilisation my staff of life machine to mix upwards the dough.  


4. At Math Teachers' Circle on Thursday, nosotros explored the mathematics behind the game Spot It. We started past times playing a few rounds of Spot It Jr Animals (affiliate link). This was my initiatory of all experience amongst a Spot It Jr deck, as well as I bring to tell that I constitute thinking of the holler of the unlike animals super hard. 



After exploring how the game worked, nosotros laid upwards out to practise our ain deck. Our facilitator gave each grouping a laid upwards of post-its as well as some sheets of stickers to practise our ain decks. We created a deck amongst 13 cards. Each carte du jour had 4 unlike symbols for a full of 13 unlike symbols. It was actually fun to practise our ain deck! 



5. The Classroom Chef (affiliate link) late celebrated it's minute birthday. As a result, in that location were lots of giveaways on twitter. I was lucky plenty to win a signed copy! I expect forrard to sharing my thoughts on the bulk when life calms down. We're dorsum to schoolhouse this week, as well as hence I'm hoping that agency I bring to a greater extent than fourth dimension to retrieve near teaching!


I was super impressed that the mailing envelope was customized!
