I couldn’t find my camera on Monday, so WIAW this week is via my iPhone. I finally jumped on the hipster train and downloaded instagram. It definitely breathes life into my iPhone photos. Although after reviewing my daily eats I noticed I was seriously lacking in the veggie department. Jenn, bring me another veggie challenge!
B #1
3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese with fresh organic strawberries
B#2
steel cut oats with brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and pecans

Mint Magnum!
I thought about enjoying a pink cookie too, but decided the ice cream was enough 😉 I revealed that I was having a girl to my students by asking them what the probability of the baby being a girl was and the probability of the baby being a boy, (we are working on probability, fractions, decimals and percents to review for the state test this week). Then I had them split into teams: blue for boy and pink for girl. Then they had to count themselves up and figure out their team’s fraction. Afterward we worked together to change it into a decimal and a percent. It was a fun way to integrate real life with math.
Afterward they did a drumroll and I revealed pink frosted cookies! They were very excited – both for the fact that the baby is a girl and that they got cookies to celebrate 🙂
Do you use instagram regularly?
I have no idea how to find myself online or how to follow people – help me!
Spinach and Skittles 
I love instagram! What is your user name, I’ll look for you! I *think* my username is cakers52 (I dont know where my phone is right now)…but I think you can search by email as well!
I’ll look for you! I *think* I’m spinachandskittles 🙂
p.s. can you start blogging again pleeeeeeease? 😉
I’m like you, I’m a novice when it comes to Instagram and other photo enhancing apps, but when I do use them, they definitely make the pictures look more distinct.
I’m a teacher too (I teach English), and I’m sure you students loved that you shared your news with them in that way. Very cool.
They did, they are so excited about the baby – they’ve been making me mother’s day cards all week!
Those cookies are soooo GOOOOD! Congrats on the baby girl 🙂
thanks 🙂 yes, they are my favorite!
I found you on Instagram ages ago & have been waiting for you to approve my “follow” request. Go to the heart icon at bottom right of screen and you should see requests & news.
I checked under my heart thing and didn’t see anything from you. What is your username?
I’m easteramy and it says you’re spinachandskittles.
Aw! What a fun way to share the gender news with the kiddos! ❤
Haha except for now all week long the staff has been asking where their pink cookies are!
PS: Where do you get good watermelon and how do you pick a good one??
My dad is an expert watermelon picker, so I think it must be in the genes. But I get the bambinos at the beginning of the season because they are smaller, which means they are more likely to be sweeter. Then I make sure they have a large sun spot. And then I wack at them until I hear the drum sound.
So glad you found my blog! I wish we had a Trader Joe’s here but the closest one is one and a half hours away. 😦
Congrats on the baby girl! 🙂
I use instragram. What’s your username? You should be able to look up by username. Mine is “LilMysNinja” I use instagram ALL THE TIME! LOL
Ah one and a half isn’t too bad 😉 I used to drive four and a half to get my fix, lol. I’ll find you on instagram. I’m spinachandskittles on instagram 🙂
