Foreign Love Affair

Lots has been going down in Room 605 over the last few weeks! My favorite activity has been counting down the days until Spring Break! (I know you're wondering and the count is at 2)! Yay!

Lately, we have been studying the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, but we took a day to learn about the countries of Malaysia, Senegal, Uganda, Brazil, and Morocco a few weeks ago.
We had the pleasure of hosting international English teachers at school for a day. These teachers are participants in the ILEP Program (International Leaders in Education Program) and are partnered with Clemson University. Go Tigers!

My kids were completed captivated! We learned about different foods, climates, holidays, and school requirements among other things. Before the day was over, my students were already asking when the international teachers would return! I find it amazing that we as humans can for lasting bonds in such a short amount of time! I'm so grateful my kids could get a small glimpse of this big world we live in. We had such a wonderful day!

Currently March...

It's March! Why is time flying by so fast and yet so slowly??? Spring Break is still more than a month away! I sure do hope I can make it without losing my mind.
And with that lets link up courtesy of Farley....here's my March (currently):

 
Listening: I'm so obsessed with the Gatsby soundtrack. Love, LOve, LOVE it! Very versatile with a lil' bit of edge.
 
Loving: I started crocheting a few months ago and (for the most part) love it! Somehow, the repetitive movement helps me relax. My friend and I are opening a booth this year and  hope to sell our crafts for a profit. Should be good clean fun! If I can get used to all these patterns and stitches, life would be golden!
 
Thinking: I am not a fan of bulletin boards. I've been trying to do a better job this year of changing them out and making them meaningful. I'll take all any ideas that can be easily executed (in the comment section)...thanks in advance.
 
Wanting: Sleep is such a treasure. Really not a fan of not sleeping more than 3-5 hours a night during the week! Please don't look at the timestamp.
 
Needing: My bestie from HS is getting married this fall. Super excited minus the fact that we live so far apart and cannot do all the fun things together. However, technology is awesome and keeps us connected. If only our schedules were easy to navigate. Spending some time this weekend looking searching for the perfect look. Yay shopping! :)
 
???: Any guesses? Leave them in the comment box below.
 
 

Thanks for stopping by!
Is it Spring Break yet?!?!?
