CURRENTLY!



* I love Friends! Not many sitcoms I like to watch anymore. This was a classic! 

*I love being home! I DO love my job! But really? Who wouldn't just rather be home and taking care of all the things around the house? Maybe just a year off to read ALL the books in ALL the piles, go through ALL the stuff in the house, finish ALL the scrapbooks....

* I'll get to the plans. They are not for the week we come back, so that is not helping. Those plans are done and prepped. Thank goodness! Thank goodness for the three of us working together! 

*OK - my goal is to do a little every week! I just want to go through one drawer, one cabinet at a time. I'm not thinking (well, trying not to!) about the whole room, basement, cabinet. I just want to do one little part at a time. I will not be THAT sentimental with it all! I will let it go!  Seriously - who needs all this stuff!!! It's not helping that I know my mom and the in laws have full houses too! I'm not inheriting all of that stuff too! 

*ok - I should do something around this house, but I'm ok if I don't either! It will still be there tomorrow! I'm not beating myself up about it! 

*I will use my treadmill more this year. I will get on it, instead of facebook, instead of watching Friends - yes, I know I could watch and walk at the same time! 

*OH that new classroom! It is driving me crazy! I can't find anything! I know where it was in the old classroom! That is not helping though. I  don't want to give up my life either in there but I need to straighten it up - and purge in there too! lol It's a great size room, but there are diagonal walls, some windows and little storage! One day at a time! One day at a time! 

* I wish to live in the moment! I don't want to get soo caught up in all this organizing and purging that I miss all the good stuff! I just want to keep it all good! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Hope that all goes well for everyone in 2015! Be safe if you are going out. Hubs and I are spending a quiet night together. That's fine with me! Enjoy!!!

    I really need to exercise more too! I have a lot of organizing and purging to do at home, so I feel your pain. Happy New Year!

Clutter Free Classroom Assignment

The Closet Abyss!This is the closet with the language arts materials - alphabet recognition, rhyming, beginning and ending sounds, sight words, oh my! It was looking better till I bought more stuff and tried to put it in here! It is somewhat organized- rhyming stuff on one shelf, abc stuff on another, sight words on another, for the most part!This is the only large cabinet I have like this. :(   Is it any wonder why I don't use all that I have? AND when summer gets here - everything in the classroom has to be packed away - which means even more is shoved into all these closets! This is above the hooks for the kid's coats. It is organized but not pretty. These cabinets hold my literature. The bags are letter bags. I have one for each letter. The other stuff on top is stuff that doesn't fit into a cabinet. This area of my room is what I call the mud room. When you come into the classroom, this is where you come first. Then there is an opening right at the snowma...

Chapter 3

What should your math work stations, look like, sound like and feel like?   I have not done math stations this year. That is the plan for next year:) I hope they look like the ones in this book!! lol I do want to make sure that I MODEL all the materials before I put them out in the stations. I want them to be a great place for the students to work and learn and have fun. What does your management board look like? I will be making a pocket chart- I think. I will be using their pictures for the board. I want to see some more ideas from all the other great bloggers. How do you support math vocabulary (math talk cards) in your stations?   WOW - do I need to work on this. I have thought about making a word wall of sorts with math vocab. I want to add more of this and make sure that it is included in the stations. I also want to connect it with some Whole Brain Teaching concepts that use gestures for the words.  This is a great chapter! I need to sit and look at t...

It's February!!!  Oh my! It's February already! January went by fast! And we had NO snow days! A few delays and one early dismissal but no snow days! I'm glad! We have several built into the calendar and I would like those off. Then I can do what I want and have fun. I know! Snow days are fun too! But I'm hoping not to lose the make up days at Easter cause I don't want to use too many personal days! lol Well, this is always fun to link up with Farley at  http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015/01/currently-february.html LISTENING - yes, the Super Bowl is on! It's been going on all day. Finally at the kickoff! My NY Giants aren't playing this year, so I'm not really caring which team wins. It's a nice night to sit by the fire and blog!  LOVING that I have plane tickets to go away this spring!! It's been a long time since I've been on a plane! I am soooooooooooo looking forward to visiting my daughter on her study ab...
