March Currently


I cannot tell you how much I look forward to Farley's Currently Post every month. I love thinking about my own answers and reading everyone else's responses. If you have not participated yet, hop on over to her blog and check it out. It is lots of fun, and you learn a lot about other bloggers.

Listening: I am currently listening to Disney Junior playing in the living room. I can also here the fire crackling in the fireplace. It is going to be a cold weekend.

Loving: I am loving that today is Saturday and I can finally relax after a long week of teaching and meetings. I love my kiddos, but I love my weekend time, too!

Thinking: I am currently (and have been for the past couple of weeks) thinking about our upcoming standardized tests that we will administer in a month. I know that my students have been taught every standard and have shown mastery in the classroom, but I always worry about test anxiety and tricky questions. I want my students to be able to show the state everything that they do know.

Wanting: I want warmer weather! The cold air makes for miserable duty posts at break. I am a warm-weather-kind-of-gal!

Needing: I need spring break to get here quickly! I am hoping that when we are off for spring break, the weather is warmer so I can enjoy a few days at the beach with my family.

Like, Love, Hate: I like apples! I love accessories! I hate arachnids! (For this response, you have to use the first letter in your first name to come up with your list of three things.)

  1. I am jealous of your fireplace! They are so cozy and I really wish I had one. I would love to curl up with my cup of tea by a fire right now.

    Enjoy your weekend, my friend!

    1. We absolutely love our fireplace! We have even been known to build a fire even when it wasn't "that" cold outside. :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  2. I am NOT a cold weather person either and am seriously waiting for spring break to get here. I won't be spending time at the beach though...probably just hanging out at home iwth the family. I'd love some warmer weather so we could go camping.

  3. I'm excited to have found another middle school blog! I'm your newest follower. It's great you can even say your students have shown mastery on all the standards. I have a long way to go before I can say that. My students are at a dead period right now. I'm hoping they will spring back to life soon!

    Happy weekend!

    1. Well, there have been times throughout the school year where I wondered if we would all get on the same page, but I just kept hammering and working. Now, I just worry that one will wake up and have a bad day, some will not be able to function because of anxiety, etc. I am sure your students will do a fabulous job!

  5. There's nothing better than a fire to make you feel all nice and cozy. We had snow day Wed and I had a fire going all day. Have a great Saturday!
