March Madness Sale!

March Madness is upon us!  I, being the most non-sport enthusiast/playing person ever, refer to the weeks before Spring Break as "March Madness".  You know, crazy weather + crazy kids + grade card testing = March Madness.  :-)

I am so ready for Spring Break!  This week is parent/teacher conferences and after that...Spring Break, Bloggy Friends Meet up in Kansas City and some much needed down time.  To make this week a little sweeter for you, I'm so jazzed to share this...
 
...great products by my great Kinderland friends--20% off all their stores! Stock up now for spring!   Click on the sale button to go to my store.  Happy shopping!

Currently, keeping busy and finally some fun!

Wow...it's already March!  Where has this year gone?  Has it flown by for you too? 
Since it's a new month, that means one thing...a Currently post.  Click here to go link up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade!

Here's the skinny:
Listening:  When I wrote this on Saturday, it was a kid free weekend since Little Miss was at her dad's.  Normally, I being treated to a Doodle Bugs concert, but since I was sans kid, it was the infomercials keeping me company.
Loving:  keep reading!
Thinking:  I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a laptop.  We have Macs at school and while I prefer them, I really don't prefer the hefty price tag, so I got a handy dandy basic Toshiba pc.  Love it, but it's taking a bit to adjust back to a pc.
Wanting:  Who doesn't?
Needing:  Again, without the wee one jumping around, I was quite content to sit in my big chair, sporting my jammies and sucking down a pot of coffee.  But....reality set in...and I got off my duff and got moving.
Like: see "thinking"
Love:  My new bloggy and TpT friends have been not only an inspiration, but so supportive in my new endeavors with my TpT store and during this school year in general.  I {heart} you, Kinderland!
Hate:  Our schedule has been 12 kinds of messed up the last few weeks due to snow and ice.  Just when I think we are back in routine--bam!  Snow day.  I do ok with one, maybe two, but after that I get antsy.  The next two week are going to be CUH-RA-ZY!!  Read Across America Week this week with spirit days, extra meetings and a parent activity day thrown in for extra nuttiness, 3rd quarter grade card testing (ugh), and Parent/Teacher Conferences.  But then...spring break and some fun!

Here's a preview of my Spring Break.  I am so jazzed I actually squealed when I saw it...
I just can't wait!  I promise to post lots of pictures!

With all the snow days, I kept myself busy.  Here are my two latest products in my store.  Sorry about the fuzziness, but I've added a mini retelling unit using The 3 Little Pigs, great for the Reading Literature Common Core Standards and just in time for St. Patty's Day, a little CVC Write the Room!  Click on the titles to go to my store to check it out for yourself!
