I am so excited that April is here... that means another Currently Linky from my girl Farley!! Head on over to link up & don't forget the rule of three.
Listening - The "TEST" for my kiddos is Wednesday, so I will be doing lots of reviewing with a fun twist. They have LOVED the STAAR-ingo activities.We also played STAARopoly, which I made/borrowed last year from Lindsay over at My Life as a Third Grade Teacher. ( I looked & looked for the post, but couldn't find it again.)
Loving - I am so excited to have taken Friday off. This will be the first day I have missed school this year & I think I truly deserve it. Myself & several of my teacher friends are going to Port Aransas for the weekend for some beach, sunshine, & lots of fun!!
Thinking - I would really like to give handwritten notes to my students tomorrow afternoon before they leave school. I want them to have something to read & think about the night before the "TEST" for my subject.
Wanting - So... I went to the beach yesterday for Easter and got the most random sunburn. I might or might not have put sunscreen across my whole chest. There are hand marks... eek!!
Needing - I would really like to get a massage Friday morning before i head to the beach. The stress of the "TEST" has been making me feel achy. Can I request a hot masseuse??
Advice - "Be true to yourself" This works in all areas of life. Sometimes I wonder if I should do a lesson with my kiddos, or blog something, or post something for sale in my store... I just ask myself is this me? Never try to be someone else or something that you are not. Life lesson...
Hope everyone is having an amazing Monday... Don't forget the rule of three!!

Hi Sandy:
ReplyDeleteDon't you just LOVE Currently?
I hope you enjoy your beach trip. I went to Port Aransas last summer and I just LOVED it. It really was calming and relaxing.
Good luck on the STAAR test. I'm off to check out STAAR-ingo!
