5 Things Friday

1. Minus the belt I felt like I was pretty much wearing pajamas today.

Dress: Old Navy    Boots: DSW   Scarf: Made by my sister 

2. I think my kids may soon put together a revolt and overthrow my classroom.  
We just learned about the constitution and one morning this week I found this on my desk:
(Dear Mrs. Vale  - We all in room 118 want to choose who we sit by in 4th quarter.  Please let us.)

Although I know the Founding Fathers didn't sign their names with love. 

3. I'm sure you've seen this video already but I can't stop watching it.
So you should probably watch it again.
And Kristen Bell is now my favorite actress.




4. I just hung up the phone from talking to my nephew Travis, and while we were talking he burped and said, "Excuse me, I burped in my ear." 
I can't wait to see him in 3 weeks from today! 


5. I can't believe I almost have 200 followers! 
It amazes me that anyone besides Lauren and Lauren and my mom would want to read my blog. 


So happy for a three day weekend!
Happy Friday! 
Pin It!

    I love that note from your students. Too funny! They are learning.. I hope you have them sign a Bill of Rights for what they are and are not allowed to do in their chosen seats and let them know what the consequences are for breaking that! Smart cookies, your students!

    Such a fun outfit. Chic and comfortable:)
    Your students are too funny! I teach first graders a few times a week and they are the most entertaining kids!

    P.S. Kristen Bell became a fave after that video!

    Sometimes I wear outfits like this when I just want to feel comfortable. Skirts are sooo much more comfortable than pants anyway. What grade do you teach?? I read my 4th graders "The Homework Machine", in which kids use the Declaration of Independence against their teacher as a way to insist on no homework. Very cute!

    You've got to hand it to your students for putting a history lesson into practice! Love it. And if you love the Kristen Bell video, you should look up the auto-tuned version on YouTube. SO GOOD. Ellen even showed it on her show!

    I love those tights. I'm trying to get up the courage to wear some purple tights but I just can't bring myself to do it!

    Congrats on all those followers! You deserve them and so much more, friend :)

    I love the "petition" that your students left on your desk. Too funny and cute! The Kristen Bell video always makes me laugh so hard! Like her, I've always loved sloths for some reason. However, I could never be THAT obsessed. So funny! Have a great weekend!

    Love this list! I am still laughing at the video. And the note from your students, so cute! When I was teaching we had a new desk arrangement every month. The last month of school I let them pick where they wanted to sit (We made a big chart of the classroom on the chalk board and each person had a sticky note with their name on it. I drew names and one at a time they got to put their sticky note on the board where they would like to sit.) It actually worked out well for that month and only 2 people had to have their desks moved due to disruptive behavior (and those students were disruptive no matter where their desks were!) Have a great weekend!

    I love your five things so much that I can't even pick my favorite. I might have to go with the Kristen Bell video but the note from your students is just great! Do they get to pick who they sit by?
