Yes, the Kentucky Derby is this week, and there's a close read about the Kentucky Derby in this resource: Science and Social Studies Activities for May!

This week also brings Cinco de Mayo AND Teacher Appreciation Day. 


I plan to celebrate Mexico on both Monday and Tuesday, then celebrate teachers for the rest of the week.

This is what I plan on doing for Teacher Appreciation:

I'm going to run off a whole bunch of these Thank You Cards, and have them fill them out for the teachers in the school! I don't let them make them out to me, since there are plenty of other teachers who spend their time helping children. (Any adult who works with children is fair game for Teacher Appreciation, even if they don't have a certificate!)

Toward the end of the month is Memorial Day. I know some teachers will be enjoying summer by then, but we're not even close yet!
