Currently January

Well, hello! I'm been very much not present. But I love Farley's Currently series and what better way to get my back in the game. I have some changes coming up so I hope to blog more and update you on what's happening in my life and classroom!


Listening: The UK wildcats are killing it right now!!!

Loving: This has been one of the best holidays! I've thoroughly enjoyed the time off!

Thinking: I've enjoyed it so much I'm a wee bit down that I have to return to a schedule. I love my school babies but it is so hard to get back into a schedule!

Wanting: Nothing. Seriously. Nothing.

Needing: To get on the ball. I found out 2 days before break that I am going 1:1 with ipads in my classroom. EEK! So excited! I've been doing some research but more to go!

One Little Word: Grateful. I am so grateful. I have a wonderful family. Everyone is healthy. We are blessed. Truly blessed.

I hope you will join Farley and link up!

Currently February

I'm linking up with Farley again for her currently series!


 
 
 
Listening: I don't even know what he is watching! I'm trying to finish up on the computer so I can go play with little bit!
 
Loving: My newest Stitch Fix I got on Friday. Y'all. I haven't had a stitch fix in a long time. The last time I tried the service, they were relatively new. I would put in a for a box and it would be over a month before it would come. I'm quite impatient and didn't love it! Now....they are FAST people. I put in a for a box and literally got it in like 5 days! 5 days people!!!! I'm always amazed that they are spot on. When I get a pair of jeans I think there is no way they will fit. They've never seen me! They were PERFECT!!!!! I don't know about you but I don't have time to shop these days. I love that they send me things that I would never find in my hometown. I love that I can try it on in my room and send it back in my mailbox with no shipping costs! If you haven't tried Stitch Fix, I really encourage you to give it a try! It's hassle free and super cute clothes!

Thinking: Y'all. We have the SLOWEST internet on earth. When we moved in our house, I was silly and signed a 2 year contract with Dish. We only get so much internet usage and then they "slow us down". WHAT??? We are finally get faster, unlimited internet on Tuesday. I cannot WAIT to watch some Netflix!
 
Wanting: To buy EVERYTHING in the new Matilda Jane release that came out today. Eek! I'm dying. (And so is my wallet!)


Needing: A great Valentine Craft. I can't find anything I just love! Got ideas??

Pageant Name: I don't know anything about pageants. I've never been a pageant girl. I'm thinking Know-It-All Sweetie??? Probably not a name that would help me win, but I'm just being honest!

Also, I am having a SuperBowl Sale in my TPT store! If you are anything like me, you would MUCH rather shop on TPT than watch the Superbowl!!! :)

Currently and Sale Continued

It's December! My favorite month of the year! I'm linking up with Farley for her Currently series!


Listening - The Voice...Need I say more????

Loving - Look at these reindeer I'm making for an upcoming craft show at my school. Eek! I die from cuteness. Tutorial found here.



Thinking - I have GOT to get on this Christmas shopping!

Needing - I need nothing. Truly thankful!

Giving - We are working on our Santa letters this week. They will go with this elf we make from Jennifer at First Grade Blue Skies. Here is the template we will be using for our letters. Click below to grab!

Also, don't forget...tomorrow is the last day for the TPT sale! My entire store is 20% off. Use the code TPTCYBER to get an additional 10% off!
 
 
Oh. And I have to leave you with this. I was super excited to see my kiddos today. I honestly missed them over the break. Especially this little sweetie. Yup. It was THAT kind of day! ;)


November Currently

Hello. Lordy. Where did the month go? I just cannot seem to get a good blogging schedule going! I don't know about y'all about but last week just about killed me! Red Ribbon Week and Halloween...WHEW! That makes for 1 LONG week! We survived and had a blast. I'm ready for a more calming (and shorter) week! I'm linking up with Farley today.


Listening - To my little on watch DocMcStuffins

Loving - The time change. I know I'm weird but I LOVE when we fall back. I love that we gain another hour in the day and I am so excited that it won't be pitch black when we leave for school now. I know it gets dark earlier (but I secretly enjoy that). I won't feel as bad in my pj's at 5:30!

Thinking - I have GOT to finish my November Write the Room today. #1 because we need it in class and #2 I may or may not have not finished my October unit until October 26. Gotta get ahead.

Wanting - I've been on the look for a good pair of black boots that I really like...within my budget. I've not found them but I'm going on a shopping trip next weekend for my birthday!

Needing - To Diet and get serious! Y'all...it's bad.

Reading - Nothing. I LOVE to read but I really don't read a book unless I am on vacation or it is the summer. If I get into a good book I cannot put it down. That means I am up reading a book at 1am on a school night when I am normally in bed by 9:30. 

I hope you will link up with Farley too!


Currently March

March? Is it March? Really....I didn't know because we have ICE and 4-9 inches of snow coming down! Worst. Winter. Ever.
I am linking up with Farley for her Currently series again. You have GOT to check out her blog design. It is ADORABLE! I LOVE the buck!!!! Here is my currently for March!

http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/
 
Yes...this weather is killing me if you cannot tell! I want my summer!!!!
 
Loving - I am SUPER excited that I just paid for my blog design tonight! I cannot wait. I've been dying for one and finally took the plunge tonight.
 
Wanting - To finish those products. I'm going to try to work on them tomorrow but I also try hard to spend time with my child when we are home together. I don't get those days often!
 
Needing - I've been trying to be healthy. We are eating healthy and working out. Something about this weather makes me wanna eat. We had pizza tonight (not good) and I didn't hit the elliptical. I am supposed to start T25 with my team when we go back to school. (If we ever go back!)
 
And my ?????? - You guess. What was my question that would have lead to those answers. The first one to guess wins my Lucky Me St. Patty's Day unit! Leave your answers and email in the comments below!!!

Currently February

I seriously cannot believe it is already February. I'm still writing 13 on my checks! I'm linking up with Farley for her Currently series.

 
Loving - SO excited we are going to school! We have had 8 snow days this year. 5 of those the students don't have to make up (but we do). From now on they are tacked onto the end of the school year! BOO!!!! We didn't go today because we got a surprise 3-5 inches in our county. Tomorrow we are going...but I'm guessing we will have an early release. They are predicting ice!
 
Wanting - I need some prayers for a friend tonight. All are appreciated!
 
Truth - I have been working out almost nightly. Those who know me probably think that is the fib. HA! Nope! We bought an elliptical machine and I have promised to use it. I'm quite proud of myself because I despise it!

Truth - We turned down a trip we won (through my husbands business) to the Atlantis. Before you hate me...listen to my reasoning (because trust me...I pro and conned it like crazy!)
Pros: The trip is paid for (as in the flight and room), A week of relaxation, Time alone with hubby,
Cons: The trip is not inclusive...would have cost us $2500ish, I have to take 5 unpaid days, sub plans for that week plus be prepared for when I come back, I HATE flying, I've never left my daughter for more than 3 days (7 out of the country was not happening), I don't know any of the people going with us. See how the Cons won??
 
Fib - I love to Cook. Ha! Not. So. Much. Nuff. Said.
 
I hope you will link up!
 
 

Happy Near Year and Currently

Happy New Year!!!!

Well, almost another month went by and no blogging from me! :( Sorry friends. December got the best of me, as I know it did everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed my break, although sadly it ends for me tomorrow! I SO wish we had off until next Monday like a lot of folks. (Although they are calling for an inch of snow...so it is possible we will be off!) Since we just have a 2 day week, we won't be doing literacy center rotations and small reading groups. We will take some time to review rules, discuss what we did over the break, and enjoy getting back into routines. Instead, we will be doing these activities the next 2 days!

This small unit contains 5 literacy and 5 math centers. Here is a little of what you will see in this unit (all centers come with recording sheets as well):

You will also find centers for skills covering CVC words, counting, on, greater than or less than, graphing, and ordering numbers from least to greatest. This is the perfect unit to get your kids started back in the New Year!!!! Grab it by clicking on any of the pictures above!

I also wanted to join Farley in her Currently series. I tried to do it some last year. I hope I can remember to do it each month this year! :)

 
It is SUPER cold here and I am very thankful for my warm home!!!
This year so SOOOOOOOOOOOO magical for Lilly with her elf and Santa. She was TOTALLY into it and couldn't wait each day to see where her elf was and what he had been up to! I wish I could put that age into a bottle and hold on to it forever!!!!!
 
I hope you will link up with Farley too!!! I'll be back sooner rather than later!
