March Currently

March 2, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

March is notoriously a difficult month because it is one of 2 months, during the teaching calendar, where there are NO DAYS OFF!  My class already seems to be in Spring Break Mode… but with starting a new novel and jumping all in on our new Fraction unit, this is an important month that I hope will be a good one!

Tonight I am linking up with the amazing Farley for her monthly Currently linky.

Listening:  I got my hubs tickets to see the Punch Brothers this coming April and also 2 albums: their newest one and Chris Thile’s Bach album.  We have been listening to this record on repeat all weekend.  It is so beautiful!
Loving: I came across this AMAZING product from Chalk and Apples designed for TpT seller.  This helps them track data in Excel.  I am geeking out over how awesome it is!
Thinking: I am participating in an instagram loop with a bunch of other 4th grade instagramers. There is an amazing giveaway going on and I am needing to pick a winner.  If you don’t follow me yet, here is a link to my account.  You don’t want to miss this awesome giveaway. 

Wanting: I am a list maker! I have sticky notes on my desktop and notebooks full of things I need to do, need to buy, need to research.  I am wanting to simplify my list and start checking the important ones off.

Needing: I am going to VEGAS for the TpT conference this summer! I am over the moon about it, it is my first time and I have booked my hotel and registered for my courses.  Now all that I need to do is find some cute dresses to wear!!!


Spring Break Plans: We need to weed! I kind of want to look on Craigslist to find someone to help us out… because we have let it go… We need to weed so we can plant for spring and summer!  Beyond that, I am looking forward to relaxing and spending time with my friends and family.

I can’t wait to go and catch up with all of you and your March Currently’s.  Happy March!

    Hi Layla! I enjoyed your Currently! I, too, am a list maker and I get so giddy when I cross one out completely. Have you ever written down something you have already done just so you could cross it out? I do, all the time. 🙂 I will have to check out your instagram giveaway!
    Enjoy your spring break!

    Hi Layla,
    I, too, have a full month of March. Actually, I didn't even realize it until your post made me stop and think about it! I hope you're able to be productive before the Spring Break craziness hits! You must have yours the first week of April? Take care!

    Layla,

    I'm right there with you with the need to weed and do yard work! It seems like it is never ending, but it feels so great when it is done. When I'm doing yard work (or housework), I like to blast music and trying to create challenges for myself. I try to see if I can race against the clock to complete the task. It sounds silly, but it seems to work! I hope you get all your things on your to-do list done!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
