Currently {I Heart October} Edition

Share This:

Thank you Farley for posting your October Currently tonight. I have just enough energy left in me tonight to gitrdone 😉

LISTENING: Like I said, I’m listening. But I’m wishing it was Grey’s Anatomy, because the opener last week was someone’s idea of a bad joke! I am counting on tomorrow night’s episode to make up for it.

LOVING: October means Halloween is right around the corner and I  LOVE HALLOWEEN!! It’s my favorite Holiday to celebrate in school too! (followed closely by St. Patrick’s Day) But this week I was finally able to take my boot off my broken foot- after being a slave to it for the past 2 1/2 months. You should have heard my kids screaming and cheering for me when I greeted them at the door boot free. Another teacher perk- I’ve always got my own personal fan club!

THINKING: Oh. My. Word. Switches schools, teaching a combo class, and all new curriculum has been kicking my butt!! It’s like a constant state of treading water. The last time I felt like this was my first year teaching. Whew!

WANTING: The more bloggers I see sharing all the cool ways they are using iPads in their class the more I wish someone might just kindly drop a few on my stoop. Not holding my breath on it though…

NEEDING: Does anyone else have flat feet frustrations!? I have orthodic insoles but they don’t fit in cute little flats. The only fit into sneakers. So finding shoes that are flat & comfortable is HARD. Throw cute in the mix, and it’s dang near impossible!!

BOOK: I read alot this summer. Right about now the only reading I do is too my kids or curriculum and Common Core Standards. It’s not exactly leisurely reading. I miss summer days by the pool! However I am excited to check out The Spookely Square Pumpkin which is a newbie to my October read aloud list this year.

  1. Finding shoes. Yep. As I went flying after tripping over a student sitting on the carpet waiting for daycare to pick her up I thought to myself… "I need new shoes." Good luck! And I bet it does feel good to get the boot off!

    Do you know, I've heard of it but never read The Square Pumpkin. Totally also check out Creepy Carrots. HILARIOUS. A hit today.

  2. Found you on Farley's Currently. I've been hearing all Spookley but I can't find it (unless I want to pay through the nose on Amazon) 🙁 Congrats on getting rid of your boot! Teaching with broken bones is not easy!

    I'm your newest follower! Stop over anytime!

    Hippo Hooray for Second Grade!
