August Currently

I am linking up with Oh’ Boy 4th Grade for her monthly Currently link party:
Listening:
Is anyone else’s kids completely in love with Disney’s new movie Teen Beach that aired about a week ago?  Well my two are!!!  We TIVO the movie and they keep watching it over and over!   It is shameful to say but I know most of the words to the song.
Loving:
My classroom is almost complete.  So that means stay tuned for pictures!
Thinking & Wanting:
Although I love teaching, I love staying home and spending time with my girls more.   I always miss them when we all go back to school.   I miss our lazy days staying in our PJ’s and our little outings we take together.  Don’t get me wrong there have been a few days where they have drove me a little bonkers.   But over all I really cherish our summers together.
Needing:
I need a pedicure in these most horrible way.   My feet and toes look really bad.  We spend a lot of time at the pool or on the water so I am barefoot most of the time.  It is on our to do list tomorrow.
Back to school must haves:
This list could go on and on, but I put a few of my top favorites.
So there you have it my August Currently.  Where did the summer go????  Thanks for taking a peek!!

    Hi found you on Currently! Your blog design is adorable! That's a good feeling having your room almost done! You must be going back soon! I still have three weeks off, but am hoping to be able to get in my room soon!

    I have to be honest and say that I'm looking forward to watching the Teen Beach Movie with my kids this weekend. ๐Ÿ™‚ I'm a sucker for musicals. Lol! Have you tried the Sharpie pens? I love the hot pink and turquoise pens!! Congrats on your room. That is the best feeling.

    Jamie, I am with you on the pedicure thing! My feet look horrible.. it's so sad to admit because summer is the time when my toes are exposed! Even though I don't have children, I am well aware of the Teen Beach Movie. I have a cousin going in to 8th grade and she is obsessed with it and talks about it ALL the time! It must be good (or just catchy) if you know all the words to the songs!

    I can't wait to see pictures of your room!! I hope to have mine completely finished early next week!

    Can't wait to see pictures of your classroom. I haven't even started on mine yet. That's okay though…I still have a little bit of time, not much though.

    Hi Jamie…thanks for stopping by my blog! I can't wait to see pix of your classroom…I always enjoy looking at classroom pix and find so much inspiration. I love Sharpies too and probably need to pick up a new pack. Have you seen the neons? Love…:) Have a wonderful weekend before you return to work!

    I'm so jealous that your room is almost done… we haven't been allowed in the building so my stuff is just as I left it – A HOT MESS ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Book that pedicure, everyone needs some pampering before back to school!

    Cute blog! I love the colors! I'm jealous that your room is almost done. I haven't even got to start on mine. I'm in a new district this year. I am with you on TPT products! My wish list is growing by the day! You mentioned to me that you live in LA? What part? My husband and I live about an hour from Shreveport.

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
