Currently January


Happy New Year everyone!  I just love linking up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade, don't forget to check it out and follow the rule of three!  :)

Listening:  Stubborn Love, one of the few songs my husband and I actually both like!

Loving:  My hubby's new schedule, we actually have weekends off together for the first time in six years!

Thinking:  About transportation bulletin boards and transportation ideas in general for January.  Pinterest is being very helpful.  :)

Wanting:  Food!!!  Oh my goodness.  Only one day in, and this carb tracker app is kicking my butt.  I reached my daily carb limit with a bowl of Fruit Loops this morning.  :(  And I am such a compulsive snacker too, I don't know how I'm going to make it today!  Any suggestions for healthy snack food?

Needing:  To translate my thinking into plans.

OLW:  Balance.  Every teacher's dream!

Don't forget to hop over to my Teachers pay Teachers store and take advantage of the BOGO today!  Buy one product and get another free (of equal or lesser value).  Just email me at jfredrickson88x@gmail.com with the information: what product you bought and which one you'd like to receive for free, and I will email it back to you pronto.  :)

  2. Hi! I just found your blog through Farley's Currently and I'm a new follower:)
    I totally understand about snacking. I find myself snacking and not even knowing I'm doing it:( I have no willpower.
    I just checked out your TpT store. I LOVE the digital papers. They all look great!!

Holiday Customs & Belated Friday Freebies

Saturday is here and Christmas Break has begun!  Well, in my case it's a 4 day weekend, but I'll take it.  I confess I am very jealous of my peers right now that get a two week break.  But I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a good break, and I can't wait to see the exciting stuff you create!  :) What a busy week it has been!  Between practicing for the Holiday Song Program, doing the Holiday Song Program, recovering from the Holiday Song Program, I'm not sure how we accomplished anything at all!  But accomplish we did, and largely thanks to you, my wonderful fellow blogger teachers!  I am so thankful for the great resources you make and share, they were a lifesaver this week for sure!  Here's a look at our week of Holiday Customs Around the World: Art Snowflake Craft Stick Ornaments (Parent Gift) These turned out so great!  I poured some craft (tacky) glue a bowl and they used Q-tips to place glue onto their gemstones.  Then, they put

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to test out another
