This is going to be a quick and explanation-free Five for Friday. I’m ready to be a hermit this weekend and lounge around the house! My back is hurting so I plan on lounging all weekend. :) I hope you have a great one!

Reading Homework- the easy way!
How do you assign reading homework?
I have tried multiple ways. I have sent home paper books that the students keep along with comprehension worksheets. I spent hours of my time making copies of leveled books so that kids would have just right books. I then had to fold and staple each book. You can see why that got old. I have sent home actual books from our book room. The kids had a book bag that they were responsible for taking home each night and reading. I had a few books get lost and a few kids who never remembered to take their book home, so that wasn’t working for me either.
Must Read Monday Book Linky
Hello friends! Today I am linking up with Amanda over at Teaching Maddeness to talk about a book that I think is a “Must Read”… aren’t they all “must read”?! :) I just can’t get enough books! I hope my kiddos feel the same way. I love introducing them to books that make them love reading. I stumbled upon this quote the other day and I just absolutely love it and agree with it!
Peek At My Week- President’s Day (Freebie)
This week is jam-packed and short! We were off Monday and I am DRA testing on Wednesday, so that leaves only 3 teaching days. Friday is also an assembly day and the last day of the 6 weeks, so I’ll be scrambling to get grades in. I don’t really have time to do the fancy visual plans with all the pictures and links, so I’m just going to give you an overview! :)
We’ll be using a few different resources to learn all about President’s Day.
Here is an ABC order freebie that I made.

Here is a hat we will be making about our George Washington facts.

I hope you have a fantastic week! Thanks for stopping by to read this short and sweet peek at my week.
