February 2014 Currently

I haven't done one of these in a while. However, with multiple snow days on my hands, I have no excuse! It's also the middle of the month, but whatever. Link up here: Farley's Blog

 

 

I don't feel that there's anything questionable in this edition.

I am LOVING everything about Janelle Monae! She's amazing! Hope that make it to one of her concerts on day....yeah, bucket list!

We've used all of our snow days and then some. It never snows this much in the south. Hopefully, all will be forgiven. I was so looking for to some long weekends this spring, but mother nature has other plans.

My coffee pot broke two weeks ago. Not sure how, but it was not a good day. I just unpacked my new system and I LOVE it! It's red and shiny and programmable. Such a good decision!

Wanting & Needing...Seriously want to bake some cookies, but I don't think I'll show any self-restraint when they're done. I'm getting cabin fever and really need to workout/ move more. I really don't like being sedentary. I have been going to Zumba at a studio in town in love it. Hopefully, the roads will be cleared by Friday and I can go out and shake off this snow day weight I might be gaining.

Lastly....

TRUTH: I am a salsa dancer. Love the dance. Love the people. Love the music. 

FALSE: I hate mushrooms and I hate ravioli. the end.

TRUTH: I really do want to be a party/ wedding planner...one day. Unfortunately, rural SC isn't the place to hone those skills.

 

CHEERS TO SNOW DAYS!

SNOW DAY!!!

I have been awake since 5:30 am. For some strange reason, my body did not want to sync up with my brain because today is definitely a snow day! However, I felt like a little girl on a snowy Christmas morning watching the sunrise! I am still in some what of a trance five hours later!
Lots of new things going on lately....
(1) Making a renewed commitment to my blog (again). (2) Preparing to present at the state middle school conference...oh gah. (3) Started a TpT store AND (4) created a Resolution Revolution with about 12 friends where we make one resolution a month and update each other on our success/ failures.
In other news, we're starting our unit on monotheistic religions in class. My kids wanted to learn about Christianity first and I had 45 minutes to impart some knowledge. Instead of doing our traditional vocabulary (flashcards or foldables), I had the kids choose from one of three words from our lesson to define and draw a picture of as their bell ringer. Before the lesson, they partnered up and taught another student their word. This worked really well and took less than 10 minutes. Students were quick to identify the words throughout the lesson and could give the meaning in context by the end of class. Freak snow day success! I'll take it!

Now for editing/ updating site designs...
Happy Snow Day(s)!
