This #feetupfriday is two days late because this was a long week! 😴
After a two week vacation, I knew I would have a mountain of work, but I was not expecting the little girl to my left to pull her ACL! Who knew dogs could do that!?
🐶
I’ve got to keep Penny Lane on bed rest for four weeks. Keeping a dog as still as possible is hard! Suggestions are welcome in the comments!

Wishing I could step through this stone beehive and back into Ireland! Where do you wish you could be right now?

I’M BACK! You may (or may not) have noticed that I have been MIA for the past two weeks. I talk a lot about the importance of self care and decided to take a social media break to focus on being in the moment while on vacation.
✈️
I’ll be sharing more about my travels in my stories on Monday. Until then, want to guess where I’ve been? Here’s three clues to help! Leave your guesses in the comments.
🌍
1. The first country I visited is home to world’s greatest fantasy authors.
2. The second country I visited was one of the few European countries that was not invaded by the Romans.
3. Both of the countries I visited border the Atlantic Ocean.

Back to school read alouds for upper elementary... are you a fan? What are some of your favorites?
📚
I love using read alouds at the beginning of the school year to introduce expectations in a fun way. I read one per day and introduce a new expectation with each book.
📚
If you are thinking about using back to school read alouds with upper elementary, check out my FREE resource. It has a reading list, conversation starters for each book, and read aloud worksheets. See the link in my bio or copy and paste the link below.

A few years ago I was told I had to use Daily 5 with my upper elementary class for ELA. At first, I hated it and struggled to make it work with my older students.
.
Then, I had the opportunity to attend the Daily 5 conference. There, I learned the program is not a one size fits all model.
.
Since then, I have been successfully using Daily 5 in upper elementary. I get a lot of questions about how I use it, so I wrote this blog post to help others get started.
.
Do you use Daily 5? If so, tell me what you like about it in the comments.
