September Currently

I'm back with my September Currently! I'm linking up with Farley at Oh Boy Fourth Grade! So here it goes!! LISTENING: To Jake and the Neverland Pirates...because I have kids and they will sit through it while I cook dinner, and do other things :) LOVING: That my baby took a 3 hour nap today. Okay so he's not really a baby. He's 2.5. But he didn't get a nap the past two days, and has been a cranky mess today. So, I'm glad he was able to sleep, and I got a lot of quality time in with my 6 year old. :) THINKING: About how I needed to go to the school today. To grab some assessments, to put up some things, to make copies, etc....And then I left my key at home, and I live 40 minutes away from my school. :/ Oh well, at least we got home for nap time :). WANTING: A 3 hour nap myself. I'm always so tired the first of the year. NEEDING: To do laundry. Self-explanatory. It's ENDLESS........and I don't know why. How can 4 peo

The First Two Weeks of School!

The first two weeks of school are over for me, and I am exhausted. I really needed this 3 day weekend! :) I have a very challenging class this year, and I'm not sure HOW I'm going to get these babies where they need to be by May. It's going to be a challenge, but one I am up for, and one I will conquer. :) Let's go over the breakdown shall we?! 13 students (I am SO lucky!) 5 girls 8 boys 2 name writer's 2 kid's that know 95% of their alphabet 11 kid's that know less than 5 letters 13 kid's that know 0-2 sounds WHAAA??!! I know I'm so lucky to have only 13 kids, but thank the sweet Lord that I ONLY HAVE 13 KIDS! Because I'm going to need as much one-on-one time as I can possibly get with these babies.  After I did a few assessments I went home and cried. It is going to be such a challenge to get these kids reading where they need to be by the end of the year. I know they will be, but it's going to be a challenge. On the

June Currently!

Hello currently peeps! I don't think I've done once since last July...whoops! I'm going to try to do better this year with my blog. I really want to just document what we do weekly, and I did NOT do a good job at that this year, but there's always next year! :) So, here is my currently for the month of June! Enjoy!! :) Listening: To Curious George. Did I mention that I'm alone? Lol! My kids are both napping/resting and I got busy on my computer, and just left the TV running...How many of you moms and dads have done that?! All of you! Good, I knew I wasn't alone ;). Loving: That I don't have anywhere I HAVE to be right now. The only thing I HAVE to do today is take my daughter to gymnastics tonight. Which I forgot about until I wrote that I don't have to do anything today! Lol. And I have to feed my children. Of course. :) Thinking: About what to do this summer. My husband and I decided that we were going to have a low key summer this year. We hav

Kindergarten Graduation Song!

Why hello there! My school year is over, and I am just now able to get this up! It has been a crazy school year, but it ended on a sweet note! How many times did you hear "Let It Go" this year? I heard it no less than once a day, but most of the time it was more like 10! Ha! We were practicing for our Kindergarten Graduation, and my kids were just not loving the finale song I had picked out. At. All. My daughter whined out during graduation practice one day! "Mrs. Tina (yep, she called me Mrs. Tina at school:)) why can't we sing Let It Go for graduation??" My response, " Because it has nothing to do with moving on to first grade!!" Then later that night, well, why can't it have something to do with moving on to first grade? With my minimal music training I poured every ounce of my soul out, and in a little under an hour I had written my masterpiece! :) My only reservation was that I only had 8 days until graduation, and wasn't sure my kids coul
