Hey everybody! Wow! June has sure flown by! I am now looking forward to more summer fun sprinkled with some meetings in between. I'll be attending sessions about Common Core Math, Common Core Reading, Literacy Leadership, and Educator Effectiveness! Whew! I'll be glad to sharpen my CCSS skills while earning some nice $$$ over the summer. For now, I have linked up with
Farley for July's Currently! Link up if you want to!
Listening- to my son watch cartoons in the living room. He is reading at the same time so I am a happy mommy! I have been all over the web looking for ideas for summer fun to keep a six-year-old boy occupied! I am soooo loving the time I have with him and I love that he still gives me hugs and kisses all day long!!!
Loving- the mountain view from my new home! Today is overcast and the clouds have rolled in over the farm across the street. I am mesmerized by the way the clouds cast shadows on the grass while the hawks soar above. I work in a busy town but when I come home, it is all relaxation!
Thinking- that the month of July means August is right around the corner. This means I have a lot to get done for my fifth grade classroom. ALOT! I haven't even decided on a theme for this year. Hmmm, I may need to spend all summer a few days browsing Pinterest for the perfect colors/theme for my room.
Wanting- a personal assistant to copy, cut, and laminate for me. I mean, a person that did that would make tons of money!!! Just think of all of the work a paid assistant could do for you in the classroom. Hey, Paul Edelman was successful with TpT...perhaps my business would be called, "TeachersPayPersonalAssistants" or TPPT for short! Okay, a gal can dream, right?!? ;-)
Needing- time with my friends to relax while school is out for summer. Why do my "regular" friends have to have jobs? I want to call them up to go swim or take a trip to the beach only to realize they are working! BLAH! My teacher friends and I have had a bit of fun but I still have more of them to see! Tomorrow, I am hoping to go see my bestie and toss around ideas we have for new TpT resources.
Tips, Tricks, and Hints- Take pictures of everything! It will make for a great blog post later! If you are like those students in class who have no idea of what to write about, you will have instant inspiration from a picture! I feel like I never have enough room to blog about what I want! I am constantly going into my phone finding photos that I never got to post! Everyone loves a good picture. Here is one I recently took of my dog, Sienna...can you caption it? I wonder what she is thinking? Leave your caption in the comments!
Lots of Love and Summer Hugs,
