April’s Currently

A day late, but better late than never is what I always say.   Plus I love to link up with Farley for her monthly Currently.  It is always fun to read what other teachers are up to!!!!
Listening
I am listening to running bath water.  I have both girls in a bath.   One is in their tub and the other is in our tub.   Trying to knock the whole bathing situation out quickly tonight.
Loving
That we just went out to eat fried catfish at one of my favorite local restaurants just up the road.  It is so yummy and never disappoints.  This is why we are rushing bath time tonight because of eating out and getting home later than usual.  But the delicious food was so worth it.
Thinking
I haven’t had any of my breaks all week.  It is Wednesday and by this afternoon I was completely exhausted.  I have PE duty this week, plus my turn for lunch duty, a meeting during my planning period today {that break was gone and I have not any enrichment so far this week}, and at recess all team leaders had to report to the office for another meeting.  Needless to say I would love to have 10 minutes of peace to sit down and look through my plans or take a bathroom break.  Oh well, no rest for the weary.  It will be better next week because I do not have PE duty but we do start state testing so we will lose our planning and enrichment times during testing hours.    
Wanting
I want Friday to get here ASAP.  My cousin and her family are in from Utah and I am so excited.   We {as in just us girls} are going to take a day trip to Canton, Texas to do some major shopping.  I am taking the day off.  I know all my Texas blogging buddies know exactly all the goodies you can find in Canton.  Canton Trade Days only comes once a month and I am excited because this is my first time  in a long time to get to visit.  I am planning on bringing back some awesome stuff.  Then on Saturday we are living it up true Louisiana style with a huge crawfish boil with ALL of the family coming over to my house.   
Needing
I need to finish going through all the girls’ clothes for a local consignment sale going on.   I always clean out their clothes and put it in the sale.   They only have the sale in the fall and spring.  I usually make an ok amount {I have to pay for my Canton shopping trip somehow – right}!!!!
Hours and Day
We start at 8:00 and can leave at 3:15.   My last day is May 22nd!!!!
As always thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!   I {heart} comments and followers!!!

      Thanks for stopping by! I actually am a Louisiana blogger who just happens to live really close to the Texas state lines. So we are making a day trip over Texas to do a little shopping. Great to hear from another second grade blogger.

    I'm exhausted just reading about your week! That seems like torture. Even your evening is full of multi-tasking. Two baths while blogging! Hope your trip to Canton can bring a slower pace and peace to your days!

    Please share pics of some of your new purchases! I'm jealous…we don't have good shopping in Albuquerque, so I'll live vicariously through you ๐Ÿ™‚ Glad you get to spend some time with family this weekend!

      I will try my best. Sometimes I am horrible about remembering to take pictures. One thing you have that I love is a Trader Joe's. Once when traveling through Albuquerque we stopped off and shopped at a Trader Joe's and I loved it. I wish we had one here. They have so many neat different types of foods and snacks.

This is how many students act in 2026. Teachers will identify with every single one of the students I portray here. Funny teacher video.

So what is this you might ask? It is my last minute version of a craft for Ground Hogโ€™s Day. I canโ€™t be the only one who decides the day of to do a craft and wing it, right? It looks more like a bear๐Ÿคฃbut it was suppose to be a groundhog with facts about Ground Hogโ€™s Day. No directions required just pull construction paper and glue. Youโ€™re welcome!๐Ÿ˜‰ ...

One of my most favorite boards in my classroom is this ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป bulletin board right here! This is how it looks at the beginning of each year. As the year progresses I hang student art work and writings up. At the end of the year I take the work off and it is in order, neat and tidy, and students now have a portfolio of their best 2nd grade work. The bright folders I use to match my classroom theme are cut in half and the sign is just typed up in PowerPoint.

Here is a link to the bright file folders I used on this board (I use the extra folders to keep stuff stored in my filing cabinet): amzn.to/4mS2GhY
