July Currently

Image
By
I cannot believe that it is July already. A little over three weeks until school starts back up again. How is that even possible? Since it's July 1st I am linking up with Farley for another monthly currently.


Listening: I am currently listening to my fan in my office/craft room because it is so hot outside. I know a lot of people are getting nervous about the Vegas heat, but I'm hoping it's a few degrees cooler than Phoenix. It's been rough! I'm also watching YouTube videos, as I do every day. ;-)

 Loving: I am loving all of this free time that I have. Sure I have things that I need to be getting done, but being able to fit it in whenever I want is really nice!

 Thinking: Usually I have to rush to eat breakfast in the morning or skip it and hear my stomach growl and rumble until lunch time. It is so nice being able to eat breakfast whenever I want and I have the luxury to make whatever I want and eat it at my own pace.

 Wanting: I, like many of us, am wanting to be in Vegas. Only 6 more days!! Are you ready?

 Needing: I am really needing to work on my masters this summer. My goal was to get 4 1/2 classes done. So far I have 3 3/4 left of classes. I have 2 months to finish them, will I get them done... hopefully.

All Star: This can go with the last part and that is procrastinating. I always have so many ideas and projects going on that I often procrastinate on other things. I am always hard at work on something, but that means that something else is being left behind. Hmmmm... maybe I'm good at multitasking then! :-)

So what are you up to? Make sure to link up and share your currently.

    I wish I was able to go to Vegas this year! I am looking forward to seeing everything in the next few weeks! Good luck on your grad class - I am a BIG procrastinator with that! I should be doing that but am not even motivated to start! Enjoy your July and try to stay cool!

    Blessings,

      I didn't go last year and I was so sad. I decided to go last minute this year... see I'm a true procrastinator. ;-)

    Um...procrastinating is my thing. We can fight the title over queen...later! :)
    Good luck on finishing your classes. I start mine in August. I am really nervous, but excited at the same time. Have a fabulous time in Vegas. I hope its slightly cooler with lots of great AC!

      Haha, yes... everything can be done later. :-) My masters program is all online an self paced, so it makes it a little easier. I wouldn't be able to go in person or have due dates. That's too stressful!! Good luck in August!!

    We just got out of school June 17. There is no way I would be ready to go back in three weeks.
    Enjoy Vegas.

Monday Made It Planner Stickers

By
Today I am linking up for Monday Made It. It is my first time this summer. This summer has flown by and I can't believe that I only have one more week left until meetings and two weeks until I meet my new kindergarten students. Since the school year is sneaking up on me, I am in creative mode and crafting up a storm. As teachers, I feel like we all have something in common... a love for planning. Lesson planning, life planning, to do lists, etc. Over the past few months I have been creating my own planner stickers and I have become a little obsessed. I plan on making more as well as stickers for my teacher planner and lesson planner. If you are interested in some of my stickers, you can find them HERE . After taking a two year break from TpT, I have started updating my old products and creating new ones. One of those includes my Neon Chalkboard Classroom Rules. You can find them HERE for free in my TpT store.

Before Pictures

By
Many people that walk into my classroom think that it is such a clean and organized room. Clean... yes. Organized... NO WAY!! Here is what everyone sees my classroom as... I love my room and I spent a lot of time rearranging it to make it fit my needs as well as my students' needs. It is a very functional classroom, aside from the organizational piece that is missing. Today I am going to share with you my "secrets". Are you ready for them? I must say that they aren't pretty. Be warned, you are about to see my BEFORE photos.   This area looks fairly organized, except for the fact that I don't use ANY of it. I ocassionally lift up the fabric to get the students' reading books and a binder here and there, but other than that, these shelves are taking up prime real estate.   One of my few cabinets that lock is filled with supplies that don't need to be locked up.  Math centers that have never been used because I still have no clue how I want to organize them. ...

I'm Not a Turkey

By
With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of all the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet bunch of second graders this year. I want to keep this post short and sweet so I will leave you with one of my favorite writing activities, I'm not a turkey. I'm sure there are many variations of this activity, but I just love it so much.  I love the creativity that comes out during this assignment. One of my favorites... I'm not a turkey. A turkey has feathers. I have hands. Can I ask you a question? Do turkeys go to school? No they do not. I am a student. I talk a lot. If you eat me, I can talk in your stomach. If you eat a student, you go to jail. Ohhh so creative!!
