Loving- I still have break until next Monday. I have so much fun to still have and I am stoked!! Also- this coming week, most of the tv shows will be starting up again. Some of my favs...
Thinking- I wish I could not think about school while on break- but who am I kidding? I have a few changes I'm throwing around in my head. We'll see what I come up with over the rest of this week!
Wanting- I love ice skating! I actually got some ice skates of my very own for Christmas this year! I've already been ice skating once over break. My husband promised me we'd go at the end of the week- I cannot wait. Ice skating outside in the winter is one of my favorite things!
Needing- I wish it wasn't true, but it is. The holidays got to me! Please don't judge! ;)
OLW- I am a pretty happy person generally! I want to really work on finding happiness in the small things and everyday life. Sometimes school can be stressful, I want to work on finding the happiness with my students and the successes that are happening in my classroom daily.
Tonya from Tonya's Treats for Teachers is having a 13 in 2013 giveaway. I love reading Tonya's blog and she has some awesome items in her store. My favorite is the monthly journal prompts. My kids love them and I love that it gives them guided choice while doing journal writing developing some fluency with writing! Check out her giveaway- there is still time to enter!
Happy New Year!!
I've seen a few Currently Post listening to Dance Moms. I don't watch the show but can relate to shows starting next week! My hubby and I are addicted to a few shows :) Great OLW, finding happiness in stressful times or difficult days can be difficult.

ReplyDeleteWe went ice skating. I didn't I took pictures. I may have to try it next time since I was freezing! I also have to watch the super famous Downtown Abby. My MIL says it is an amazing show. Who doesn't British accents, right?

ReplyDeleteI totally agree that we need more books for boys!!! There are some newer authors out there that are writing books with themes that interest both. I love the Magic Tree House series for younger students.
