Currently April

Happy April All! 

Ok so I put "don't ask" under listening to the Spice Girls but of course that probably only piques your curiosity more. I randomly caught Spice World on tv yesterday as I was sitting around doing nothing cleaning. It brought back memories from my early teens and so now I've been blasting the best of the Spice girls for the better part of an hour .{Don't judge me!}

You're here! FINALLY!

I love my students but this teacher is TIRED! It's been a long time since Christmas break and we still have quite a ways to go before summer break, 50 more days, not that I am counting or anything. *Insert shifty eyes*I am excited to take this time to just R-E-L-A-X! You know, read some grown-up books. (Not that I don't love a good picture book. Picture books are my JAM!)

I am also cheering on my UNC Tar Heels! No I didn't go to school there but I was born and bred a Tar Heel basketball fan! There was no other choice.

I'm definitely WANTING these report card comments to write themselves. It's the end of the 3rd quarter. I think we all have pretty much run out of new ways to say the same things.

I won't do you the honor of posting poor Maci. Besides, I don't think she will appreciate me posting pics of her untamed mane. Trust me, I better check this one off my to-do list soon!

It's CURRENTLY Time!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! (Yes, I just sang that!) 

Okay, well maybe not the most wonderful time but it is certainly my favorite school month of the year! Why? Because it's full of celebrations! Black History Month, Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, 100th day, Leap Day! I get so excited just thinking about all the exciting things we will learn and celebrate in the classroom. I'm sure you will be hearing a lot from me about what we are up to in my classroom but for now let me tell you about CURRENTLY...

If I'm being completely honest, I CURRENTLY need to get in the bed! I am super tired and I feel like I'm coming down with something so I need my rest. But I couldn't go to sleep without linking up with Farley to share my current state of affairs so here goes...

It's a rainy spring night here, so I'm here listening to the steady beat of the rain rather that numbing my mind with the numerous useless hours of television I usually put in. 

I have been working FOR-EV-ER on my report card comments and I'm glad to be finished FINALLY! It's so hard putting a positive spin on a negative comments sometimes and that just sucked the life out of me tonight. 

Now I put that I NEED to go to Target but people let's be real, no one NEEDS to go to Target. Yes, I need a few things, but I have been to Target 4 times  in the last two days to help put some nice touches on the office space that I am creating for myself.  Realistically I should have put needing to stay away from Target. We will see how that goes!

HELLO 2016!

Hello Friends....

I love every new year! It is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts. Who doesn't like fresh starts? 

I know that I definitely do because even though I am throughly enjoying my class this school year, I have had to abandon my poor little blog due to health issues to start off the school year and having to take on additional tasks since. Needless to say, I needed this winter break something serious! And "break" I did! I have done nothing but rest, relax, shop, spend time with family, and my personal favorite watch lots of football. ( I have to soak it all in because the season is almost over) The only time I didn't spend breaking, I would get up and start decluttering different parts of the house for a few hours at a time. You know how when you start projects like that it always seems to get more messy before it gets more clean. Yeah, well I'm at that stage but it's okay because I know I've made A LOT of progress.

I don't really believe in making resolutions but making a list of things I HOPE to accomplish each new year (hence my one word).

I hope to spend more time with my blog. I have gotten to know some amazing people this year through blogging and I want to continue to take time to share my experiences with others and learn and grow as a teacher through blogging. I also hope to have the courage to do things I have never done before but always wish I would have done. I have a tendency to play it safe and stay in my comfort zone. And finally I hope to have plenty of adventures in 2016!

Now it is your turn….link up with Oh Boy 4th Grade to share what you are currently up to!
