April Currently (and a give away!)

First off - my blogging friend Cindy at Granny Goes To School just hit 500 followers on her blog and is having quite the give away!  There's 2 chances to win GIANT bundles of goodies.  She was kind enough to feature me in her give away, and I'll be giving out one free item of choice from my TpT store.  Head on over to her blog and check out the rafflecopter for details!

Aaaaaaaaand, I'm finally getting around to April's Currently with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade.  Here we go!

Listening - I've always loved Pandora, and the Lumineers station is quickly becoming my favorite station to listen to while working on the computer.  Very chill.

Loving - My awesome wife has really been diving into healthy foods, and dreamed up the most amazing smoothie today... Check out her blog, Light Up Living, if you're a foodie like me!

Thinking - Seriously. I ran a half-marathon in October. I can do this. Granted, I trained much harder for the half-marathon than I have been recently. I did 4 miles this morning and wanted to rip my legs off when I got home. 10K in a week. Crossing my fingers.

Wanting - I had the opportunity to observe in another first grade classroom in my district. This lady is seriously my first grade idol. She's amazing, and I'm trying to convince her to dive into blog land because she has so many WONDERFUL ideas. ANYWHO, I digress. I've been wanting to explore Daily 5 for quite some time, and our director of elementary ed. suggested that I watch this lady in action. I desperately want to adopt it in my classroom, but am struggling with forcing myself to wait until next year. I know so little about it, and don't want it to be a train wreck. Wait. I can wait.

Needing - I have a coffee obsession. I have a coffee mug obsession. I unfortunately also have an obsession with forgetting to wash said coffee mugs. There's like 7 of them sitting on the counter begging to be cleaned. Oops.

Advice - I do it every single flipping marking period. Why? WHY do I always wait until the weekend before they're due? Report cards take forever. If I would just do little bits at a time the few weeks before they're due, I would be way less crazy. But here I sit. Blogging instead of reporting. Story of my life.

Enjoy your weekend.
