I'm adjusting to my new kiddos and getting into the groove of things. A dead camera battery equals postponing some pics of my room later, so here is where things stand...
LISTENING: I love Throwing Shade! It's a amazing podcast my friend got me hooked on about a year ago. Bryan & Erin constantly crack me up! Great background nose while I'm working at home or when I need a quick laugh. Last week, my tweet was "favorited" by Erin! This is only epic because I tweet once every five months! Obviously, being from the south, we're not BFF! :)
LOVING: This is year nine and I'm constantly amazed at how often I'm inspired by my students and colleagues. I've feeling pretty lucky. This upcoming week, we're starting W.O.W. (Words of the Week). Hoping to increase student understanding of academic vocabulary for our World History class. In a nutshell...Students will be given 4 vocabulary words to focus on for the week. They'll be encouraged to use those words in their responses and speech to each other. We'll see how it goes....
THINKING: I'm starving. I wish someone was here to cook for me, but unfortunately, that's not my life. Not sure what's for dinner tonight, but I do need to start meal planning as temps start to fall. Yay football season! :)
WANTING: Along with a cook, I need a maid. I decided to reduce the clutter in my house and rearrange the furniture upstairs. Not sure what possessed me to make these changes at the beginning of the school year, but whatever. I'm gonna be super happy with my house feels like home again!
NEEDING: I had an amazing workout schedule over the summer. I miss it so! Can't wait to get back on schedule starting tomorrow. It'll be great to get moving again & to see my workout buddies!
3 TRIPS: My three trips are all upcoming (hopefully). In three weeks, I'll be in DC spending time with my bestie! YAY wedding week! She's marrying a great guy & I'm super thrilled and honored to be her MOH. I'm looking forward to see everything come together and to spend a few days away. Hoping to visit Austin, TX in October to see another friend get married and to visit an old college friend. Love the city & enjoy spending time with people that constantly make me laugh. Lastly, I'm hoping to visit the Carolina coast. More friends, my lil' sister, and delicious seafood makes it a perfect location to relax. Crab legs, anyone?!?! *Dream trips: Return to Spain & Brazil...*New Places: Finland & Lebanon
Checking out to grade papers! A teacher's work is never done,
BUT tomorrow is Friday!
Happy day! :)
