Five for Friday: Almost Back to School!

Hello friends!  Can you believe people are already heading back to school?  I start back with a week of teacher professional development on Monday, but my own kids start classes.  I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs for a little week in review.


1)  First off, have you entered this AWESOME GIVEAWAY yet?  There are only a few short hours left to enter to win the Kindle Fire!  There are so many great books out there.  You can go {HERE} to read about a great Back to School book and enter!

2) With Back to School looming, I took my kids to visit my Seester and enjoy a day or two at the beach.  It rained for 4 days... BUT on the last full day we managed to sneak in a little beach time!



3)  While at the beach I finished this great book:  The Copernicus Legacy: The Forbidden Stone
 
I picked this book up at the library and loved it from the start.  It's kind of like a kids version of The Da Vinci Code.  A group of kids are off on an adventure around the world using clues from Copernicus' diary and an ancient map. I'm going to order it for my classroom and share it when I get back to school. 

4) Of course, I did some shopping with my Seester.. because I hate shopping and I don't go very often.  She helps me to update my wardrobe.  I got this fabulous shirt from her by Lilly Pulitzer... SHHH don't tell her.. I really SHOPPED in her closet.. it's a Braylen shirt and the print is called Palm Reader.

5)  Finally, I must admit, I may have a leeeetle problem with my favorite ice cream.  Have you tried The Tonight Dough from Ben and Jerry's?  It has become my all time favorite, but it is limited edition.  What's a girl to do?  Buy out the whole store of what's left of course! #dontjudge

Thanks again to Doodle Bugs for hosting this great linky!  How are you spending you last week or weeks before school begins?  Eating ice cream I hope!!

  1. Michele, you are a girl after my own heart! I LOVE that ice cream too, and your idea of buying it all up is brilliant. The next time I see it at my store I am going to do the same. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend!

  2. Hi Michele! Oh my gosh... my friend was just telling me about this ice cream! Now, I absolutely HAVE to try it. Yum!! The Forbidden Stone looks like a great read. I'm adding it to my TBR pile/ Amazon wish list. Have a great weekend!

  3. Love that shirt, and I've never heard of that ice cream. I'm definitely going to have to scout that out.

  4. I saw that ice cream when Jimmy did a plug for it on the Tonight Show. I call him Jimmy like we are friends are something. I must get some this weekend to try!

  6. I usually come to your blog for teaching inspiration... and today I am leaving with ice cream inspiration! Really. That post was so compelling, I am actually headed for the grocery store! So glad you were able to find a little beach time on your vacation.

  7. And... now there are four cartons in my freezer. I'll think of you when I'm enjoying it, Michele. Happy Teacher Learning Week!
