Five Things Friday: Book 20

How is it already Fri i time again?!? This summertime is FLYING by! Here's a modest peek into what I've been upwards to of late.

1. I went to my minute always footy game. And yesteryear footy, I'm referring to Australian Rules Football. Before this, my alone always footy experience was watching my brother-in-law play a game inward Australia. But, Shaun discovered that Tulsa has an AFL squad known every bit the Tulsa Buffaloes. Since we've moved much closer to Tulsa, it's much to a greater extent than convenient for us to acquire in addition to lookout them play. We had a lot of fun watching them play. Though, I volition acknowledge that I did acquire a petty bored during the minute one-half in addition to started focusing to a greater extent than on my kenken mass than the game...




2. The wife in addition to I select been playing quite a few board games in addition to bill of fare games of late.

After talking most Prime Climb (affiliate link) at Math Teachers' Circle, I realized that Shaun had never played despite the fact that nosotros ain a re-create of the game! This was rapidly remedied yesteryear him winning ALL iii rounds that nosotros played!


Next, nosotros tried a game that was novel to both of us: Mille Bornes (affiliate link). This is a bill of fare game that I picked upwards at a garage sale final weekend for alone i dollar. "Mille Bornes" is french for "1000 Miles." The destination of the game is to lay downwards cards to stand upwards for just chiliad miles. You tin forestall the other player/team from laying downwards mileage cards yesteryear causing them to select an accident, run out of gas, etc. The rules were a chip complicated to learn, but Shaun in addition to I truly enjoyed playing it i time nosotros learned how it worked.


Wed night, I challenged Shaun to a game of Hedbanz (affiliate link). I picked this upwards at a thrift store months agone amongst the intention of perchance using the caput bands from the box inward my classroom amongst to a greater extent than or less math versions of the game that I had intentions of creating. Well, that notwithstanding hasn't happened yet. The game box said it was appropriate for ages vii in addition to up, but every bit ii adults nosotros constitute the game to hold out super tricky! Maybe we're simply bad inquiry askers/guessers...


3. Even though the family nosotros bought is much bigger than the family nosotros were previously renting, scheme is notwithstanding proving to hold out an issue. As a result, I had to plow to Amazon to buy to a greater extent than or less scheme solutions. In the yesteryear week, I select purchased ii 18 inch over the door organizers from ClosetMaid to convey both our pantry in addition to our bath cupboard to order. I experience similar simply adding these ii shelving units to the doors has to a greater extent than than doubled the storage infinite inward each of these areas! Maybe later on I acquire to a greater extent than or less to a greater extent than organizing done, I'll experience comfortable showing you lot what my cabinets in addition to closets truly await similar inside!


4. I late marked an of import chore off my summertime to produce list. I got novel glasses! 


5. Tuesday, I had the privilege of spending the hateful solar daytime amongst Shelli at an EngageOK workshop. My favorite purpose of the workshop was a sorting action where nosotros looked at pupil responses to a mutual formative assessment. Our grouping had to receive upwards one's heed how to kind the responses.


We decided on iii piles: ????, Misconception, in addition to Correct. 




I likewise enjoyed watching my grouping explore Liar's Bingo.
