Jennuine Teaching

It's been a long time since I've linked up with Farley for a monthly currently. I have been somewhat out of the blog scene for a while and with my new blog name, I figured this new year would be a great restart. Listening: Currently I am in my craft room/office. It is in the front of the house so I hear all of the cars driving by. I am also sitting next to my portable heater and dachshund Pippin because it is FREEZING in my house! Loving: I am loving the fact that I am on winter break. This school year has been... different. it took a while to get in the swing of things, but now I'm loving it! I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has planned for me and my students! Thinking: There are so many things that I want to get done before I go back to work. Things for work, personal things, things around the house, and I still want to get some more relaxation time in too! Is it summer yet. ;-) Wanting: To be warmer.

The holidays are just around the corner, but I am finally on winter break! What did we do in December you may ask? Well I will show you. :-)  We decorated a Christmas tree with ornaments that went home as parent gifts. We got an elf named Kristoff who shared many laughs with us.                   He even became the topic of many stories in our classroom.   "We have an elf. I can't believe that elf is actually here. Oh my gosh!" We had a Grinch day complete with Grinch hats! It also happened to be my birthday which was awesome in itself.   We studied reindeer and had a reindeer week. We also made root beer floats!   We had a spirit week and one of the days was ugly sweater day, but my favorite was DISNEY DAY!!!   I rearranged the back of my room to make a second teaching area.   H a p p y H o l i d a y s ! !
