Five For Friday- May already?!?

Friday, already?!?  May, already?!? This week, no this year has flown by, but I wanted to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching and share 5 random things from this week.

one... My first rafflecopter contest is drawing to a close this weekend.  If you would like to enter click the picture to the post about it and scroll down.  It has been a blast getting to interact with so many new people.  I am honored to be able to create this contest with my grade partner, she has really helped me enter the world of blogging and Teachers Pay Teachers.  I am loving every minute of it!

two... First Communion is tomorrow, it is the peak of a mountain we have been climbing for a long time now.  The climb is defiantly worth it to see such a special day in the lives of my students.  I love how proud they are of themselves, and they deserve it, we have been working so hard! I am sure next week I will be telling you all about how it went.  I may even blog about it tomorrow!

three... Yes, that is a camel, no it is not real, although one of my Facebook friends thought it was.  It is a camel at the Connecticut Science Center, it is part of the Egypt display they have there this month.  The second grade classes went there on Wednesday, and we had so much fun!  I have never taken a class there, and I was a little nervous because it is a long bus ride and the place is huge.  We had 4 students to a chaperone and that was perfect.  They really interacted with the students in their group and explored at their own pace which is perfect for the Science Center.  It is a great hands on learning experience and I just may have to bring some more kids up this summer. I wish I could share more pictures but with blurring their faces you lose what made the picture special.  The looks on their faces all day were priceless! 

four... I ordered my new laptop this week.  Apple just updated their Macbook Air so I ordered it.  I have been watching for them to update it, and I have been saving my money.  I was expecting it in June, and was so excited when they did it this week! Now I just have to wait for the delivery date of May 12th.

five... I saw this photo challenge for the month of May so I figured I would give it a shot!  I love trying these, although I have never made it the complete month.  If you want to see what I post make sure to follow my Instagram account on the sidebar, my user name is sarabeth781. I think it will be a lot of fun.

I'm sorry that I don't have a lot of pictures to share this week, but we were really busy with First Communion practice.  Hopefully next week will have more pictures.  Once again thank you to Doodlebugs Teaching for hosting this linky.  You can click on the image below to go see what others have been up to this week.
