SUMMER....and Currently Super Late!

So I am finally on summer vacation! I am loving being at home and doing nothing! Well, I have 2 kids, 2 dogs, a husband, grad school, and a house so I'm not ever doing nothing BUT this is as close as it gets ;). I am so excited about the things I have planned for this summer, and I'm going to be sharing all of them with you! I'm going to blog as much as possible. One of my goals for this next year is to keep up my blog, and start participating in the online fun! I was going to put off Currently until next month since I'm late, but I decided to just jump on it and do it anyway!! So, here it is my very first Currently!!!



1. Listening: I'm listening to The Hunger Games in the background! I love this movie, and it's nap time for my kiddos so it's perfect for blogging to! :) I absolutely cannot wait until the next movie comes out!!!

2. Loving: Staying with my kids all day!! We have so much fun together!! I have a 5 year old daughter, who will be starting kindergarten by the way this year (WAAAH!!), and a 1 year old son! Love them!

3. Thinking: About starting my summer projects...I have a TON both home and school projects that I want to do. I'm hoping to mark several off of each list! Plus I'll be sharing them with you! :)

4. Wanting: Ice Cream...as always this time of day, especially in the summer. My faves are chocolate, and chocolate chip cookie dough...too bad another one of my goals this summer is to look like I've never had children when I get back to school ;)!

5. Needing: To do laundry my couch is covered in clean laundry to put away, and I have one load each in the washer and dryer, and a couple of baskets of dirty clothes still. I swear it doesn't feel like we have this many clothes when I'm trying to find something to wear...maybe because they're all dirty. Ha! :)

6. Vacay Essentials: Sunscreen- fair complexion, Flip Flops- because it's too dang hot to wear anything else on my feet, and Sunglasses- because squinting gives me a headache! :)

So there it is. My first currently! I'm excited!! :)

    Yay!! I'm glad you hopped onto the CURRENTLy bandwagon. They're so much fun each month. I totally know about the heat and wanting ice cream and not wanting to eat that ice cream! lol. I'm also wanting to shed some pounds this summer...sad thing though, I had no kids :P Just too much food! lol.. You should check out the 30 day squat challenge..I'm on day 2 and will be blogging about it soon!!

The Science of Reading...Where I'm At

 The Science of Reading is popping up all over teacher social media, and in professional development alike. It sounds like the newest buzz word, but I've realized that we are going back to the way I was taught to read a long time ago! Somehow, and sometime along the way schools stopped teaching phonics. I have to admit that this was news to me, because I was very lucky to land in a school my second year of teaching that used an Orton-Gillingham based phonics program. I was ahead of my time. Ha! I taught kindergarten for 4 years at that school, then 4th and 5th grade for 4 years, and I just didn't realize that other schools weren't teaching kids how to read using phonics. Honestly, I said "Who isn't teaching phonics and morphology?? How are their kids learning to read?"  WELL, they weren't.  When Arkansas began the R.I.S.E. initiative to teach their teachers about the science of reading my principal at the time said, "Guys, we will do the training, but

Work It Wednesday!

Hey hey! I'm here linking up with Katie King at Queen of the First Grade Jungle for Work It Wednesday! I'm just all about the linky's this summer. ;) I've been following Katie for a little over a year, and I actually found her through one of her fitness hashtags on Instagram, and THEN realized that she taught 2nd grade! :) I was so inspired by her fitness journey, but I never got around to get really serious about my own. Ever since I've had my kids I've felt so guilty taking time out to take care of myself. Like ridiculously guilty. I suffered from postpartum depression after both of my kids. I didn't even realize what it was until it was over. But I used to think "Why would I spend an hour working out when I could spend that hour cleaning, or holding my baby, or...." The excuses would go on and on, and so did the weight gain.  Last year I realized I wasn't as good as I could be, as I needed to be. I wasn't all that happy, and quite fr

Time To Write

 Here we are again. The last few years have been....whew. I don't even have words to describe them. I stopped doing a lot, as did everyone, the last couple of years to only concentrate on my work, and my family. I had so many personal and professional changes happen I completely lost myself in the noise.  Not anymore.  Now. I write. I start using this space again, because I realized in the last 2+ years I gave up all the creative outlets I once had. I let fear and anxiety creep in and I slowly got less and less happy. Then I remembered and realized as I have so many times before. You choose to be happy. It's a choice. Even when things are hard, you can choose to be happy. Please don't get me wrong it is easier at some times than others, but since it doesn't look like things in education as a whole are going to get any easier for a while, it's time to get to work. It's time to be creative, and live life to the fullest.  And write.  It's time to pick this crea
