Five for Friday - 5th May Writing About Australian Animals

Hip hip hooray - it's Friday! And that means 'Five for Friday'! 

1. If you are a regular blog reader you will know that sometimes I am 12.

I am still obsessed with things like markers and crayons and I added to my little secret stash this week. 


2. The May Winner for my monthly TpT gift voucher giveaway is Ellen! 


3. I have started reading Blinky Bill to my daughter of an evening - a chapter a day. It is a beautiful Australian story about a funny and mischievous little koala. We are loving it so much. It brings back many fond memories for me. My second grade teacher Mrs Lindsay read it daily to us, just before home time bell. We were enthralled. 



4. Speaking of Australian bush animals - I put the finishing touches on a bundle I have been working on over the last few weeks. This is my second 'Top your Writing' bundle and features Australian native animals. These writing toppers can be added to any writing piece and used to help turn your student writing into an attractive classroom display.

Writing about Australian Animals

My fave would have to be the Frill Necked lizard. 



5. I have been laminating over the week. I found these baskets at Woolworths and they fit my pouches perfectly. I am using them to store my printed activities before I get them laminated, cut and sorted ready for my file boxes. Every printable activity I design is printed and prepared so I can assure its quality and usability. I then keep them or donate them to schools in my area. 




Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
