Ughh I am late to the Currently party again, but better late than never I hope! If you haven't already head on over to Farley's blog and link up, it is a fun one! My goal for next month is to make it on time!
So here goes....
Listening - my own kiddo are watch some of Despicable Me before bed (I love that movie), so that is playing in the background. OK so now that I am actually finishing this the kiddos are long in bed and I am listening to The Bible series on History...but I am too lazy to go back and change it.
Loving - I am getting ready for conferences next week so I have been redoing some running records on my lowest readers....and I am sooooo happy with how well they are doing! Some of them still have some work to do on comprehension but we will get there!
Thinking - I am going to be busy busy at work this week doing the Dr. stuff and testing for conferences. And of course it is also a super busy week with stuff after school. A meeting on Monday about the human growth and development curriculum for my son's 4th grade class, a doctor's appointment for me Wednesday, and Thursday a big family night at my school and a big family night at my kiddos school (of course they are on the same night at the same time!)
Wanting - I really want to get to work on some ideas I have for spring for my classroom and TpT I just can't seem to squeeze it in right now!
Needing - I am in charge of my teams 2 week fairy tale unit that we are doing right after spring break....so I need to get my backside in gear and find and make some good stuff for us. If you know of anything good I would love to hear about it!
Like - I like the sand and can't wait for our trip to Florida at the end of the month!
Love - The sun...it was actually out today and even though it wasn't that warm it still felt like a taste of spring.
Hate - The snow...I am really tired of the snow and cold and driving in it. I really hope it doesn't snow this week like they say it is going to!
Hope everyone has a great week! I am hoping to have time to post some pics of our Dr. You Know Who stuff this week. I am also starting to get excited about getting to 100 followers...so I am starting to think about organizing a giveaway. Stay tuned for details!!
Julie Lee over at mrsleeskinderkids.blogspot.com has a Fairy Tale activity unit! She makes great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the busy schedule! Seems like everything always piles up at once! Good luck!

Yep I am so not a snow person!
DeleteI LOVE Despicable Me, so cute :) Isn't it awesome when your kids just get it?! It's like a switch, at some point they just turn into almost-first graders! That is the best! I loooooove Fairy Tales! SO much fun. Let me know if you find some good stuff :)

I know I don't want to see one more snowflake!
DeleteI love your blog - I'm following!
ReplyDeleteGlad I stopped by, I love teaching Fairy Tales! Have you selected any to focus on? My team incorporates fables/tales throughout units (Food/Thanksgiving, we taught Stone Soup), but 3 Bears is fun. So is Gingerbread if you didn't do that in Dec. - there are so many variations of those.
Cinderella is a good one too, lots of books for Korean/Japanese/African/French/Native American versions. The Talking Eggs is a good fairytale to read with a Cinderella study too.
Lon Po Po & LRRH are fun to do.
Jack & the Beanstalk can incorporate some science (plant growth) & measuring for math.
The topics are endless, I guess it depends on what tales you want to target! I hope I gave you some ideas & didn't overwhelm you!! Happy planning :0)!
