Saturday Snapshots, Spark Student Motivation Saturdays & A Peek at my Week...

Y'all...I have been a COUCH POTATO for the past two days for no other reason than I just felt like it.  I have been in my pajamas...readin', eatin', showerin', sleepin', Candy Crushin' and watchin' T.V.  That's IT...that is the extent of my weekend and you know what...I don't even feel a little bit guilty about it at ALL. Maybe, just maybe, I'll go to school tomorrow and be productive.  There is a strong possibility that I may just choose to be lazy three days in a row.  I'm tired...so very tired.  I know you know what I'm talkin' about.   I know I'm not alone!  The rest of my post is a quick link-up with some of my favorite bloggers.  Be sure to check out everyone else's posts.  I am sure their week's have been more interestin' than mine!

Saturday Snapshots with Miss Nelson:  

Friday night was Jerm's birthday.  It was also the first game of College Football for the Miami Hurricanes(They won and that makes me happy).  Jerm is a Florida State Seminoles fan, so we don't really get along much durin' Football season. Luckily, his two brothers are also Hurricanes fans, so I have some back-up!

Spark Student Motivation with Head over Heels for Teaching:

This week I randomly called out, "The first person to get their chair stacked without anyone gettin' hurt or anyone talkin' will get 10 extra computer minutes or free choice on your device" or "Whoever picks up the most trash will not have an Edmodo assignment tonight".  It's amazin' what those little words will motivate students to do.  I've never seen 5th graders scurry around so fast!  I also have a new student that just found out that I will be competin' against my students in A.R.  He read THREE chapter books last week.  I like to get involved and be one of the kids...sometimes.  It's unbelievable what I can get them to do when they THINK they are goin' to beat me! A.R. starts next week...let the games begin!

A Peek into my Week with Mrs. Laffin's Laughings:

 I am goin' to New Orleans on Saturday for the New Orleans Saints(my love) vs. Atlanta Falcons(Jerm's love) game on Sunday @ 1:00 p.m.  SO EXCITED!  I got Drew Brees in all three of my NFL Fantasy Football Leagues during drafts this past week.  WooHoo...even more yellin' will be goin' on!

I'll be back on Tuesday for Fourth Grade Flipper's Tried it Tuesday...see you then!
