Currently June

Has it really been a month?  Where did May go?!?!  (Oh yeah, I think I remember something about assessments and graduation and planning field trips for summer camp...)

Well now that it's June it's time to link up with the lovely Farley!  Here's what's happening...


Listening- Okay bloggy buddies, am I the only one who is constantly listening to music?  (Hence the vacation essential below)... but I've hardly ever seen anyone put that they're listening to a song!

Loving- My family.  They have been so supportive through my (so far unsuccessful) Job Hunt Journey and all the craziness that entails.  I especially love my mom- "Well one day when you're Teacher of the Year you'll look back on all this and it will feel like a lifetime ago."  She is definitely my biggest fan!  :)

Thinking- About a weekend getaway coming up for me and the hubby!  Also I'm considering going to grad school in the near future- any degree suggestions?  I am leaning towards an M.A. in Education with a Reading Teacher endorsement.

Wanting- My new books to get here!  I am so excited for these upcoming summer book studies!


And one that I will actually be hosting a chapter of!  I'm very excited to read this book, I think it will be just what I need to take my writers to the next steps next year.


I'm also on the lookout for some good books about teaching math at the primary level and assessment.  Any suggestions?

Needing- Time to reflect and recharge.  This whole transitioning from end of the school year to summer camp with no time off in the foreseeable near future is not good.

3 Vacation Essentials- Flip flops!  I love summer. I actually live in Colorado so for the most part I wear flip-flops year round (except at school)!  And definitely a book- none of this Kindle/nook nonsense for me.  In the words of Donalyn Miller (I actually got to see her speak once), I'm still waiting for the scent of new pages feature!  :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!  See you soon(er) than last time, I promise!

    Wow, Jessica! That's quite a leap from sixth grade to preK! Good luck with your job search. This is a particularly frustrating time to be looking, but there are jobs out there. Hang in there! Your mom is right (aren't mom's always right?!)

    I will be starting my master's degree in January with a couple of other teachers in my district. My grandma always used to tell me "It's only temporary." Your job hunt is only temporary. I am sending good vibes your way!

      That sounds like my mom, except she always says "This too will pass." :) Thanks Amanda! Good luck, can't wait to hear about your classes!

      I think you just get the book, read the chapter, do a blog post and link up with the original blog's book study... I was so bad, I ended up getting six books I don't know how I will find time to read!

    I need to get involved with a book study, but maybe I should wait until school is over (grad school that is!) I love my Nook, but you are right, there's nothing like a real life page turner in your hands!!

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...

Food, Health and Hygiene Fun & TWO Friday Freebies!

My first ever parent teacher conferences are over and I survived! They actually went really well. Although, as many of my parents said, I talk to them so much anyways it wasn't like they were hearing anything new. What can I say? I'm so proud of their kiddos and constantly have to let them know about it! :) Our theme this week was all about Food and Health with a little bit of Hygiene. Overall the week went a lot more smoothly than I expected, being that I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off finalising details for conferences, putting together invitations for Pies with Grandparents next week, and trying to pick a holiday song for our class to sing at the Holiday Program because, as the office keeps kindly reminding us, Christmas is JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Makes me exhausted just remembering! Anyways, here's a look at some of the fun art, writing center, dramatic play, math and science stuff we did this week! Art: Vegetable Soup Stamping ...
