Currently...



Yes, I'm still here.  I've been a bad blogger.  This has been a very rough year at school and it has taken its toll.  I have made it a goal to start blogging at least once a week....really, really, going to try to stick to it!

Here's my "Currently"!  Click on the button below my list to join the fun!

Here's the down and dirty...
Listening...I'm rarely awake past 8:30 these days unless its to get up off the couch after a "pre-bedtime" nap to go to bed.
Loving...It's been a long week.  Not only did the Kindergarten night that I've worked forever on totally flop, but we've had some very intense meetings, so our environment is crackling with tension.
Thinking...I have a lot to do up at school tomorrow.  I just walked away and left my desk a total mess.
Wanting...Our fab-u-lous 5th grade teacher was diagnosed with cancer over Christmas break. She's a huge Zumba-ite (is that a word?  If not, it is now!), so there was a benefit for her tonight.  I love to shake my groove thing...but my knees didn't care for all the shaking, bouncing and pivoting.
Needing...I think if I had a cook and maid, I wouldn't really need the extra 4 hours!
Pet peeves...Smacking...ugh...no one wants to see your chewed food.  Biting your utensil...the sound makes me cringe.  Parents who won't help their kid...self explanatory and a lot of my stress at school!

25...not 12...Days of Christmas--Day 13!


Welcome back!  

Life is rolling along here in Eagle Land.  We are soooo ready for Christmas Break!  Our class has been loving anything to do with the Gingerbread Man.  This week, we are finishing up our retelling unit using the traditional versions of the story.  Yesterday, we read our emergent reader and made a retelling bracelet (ala Fran Kramer and Marsha McGuire) for the story.  Here's the bracelets in action!

Here are the beads I used.  It compliments the emergent reader.
brown--Gingerbread Man
purple--little old woman
blue--little old man
black--black and white cow
white--sheep
pink--pig
red--fox
gold sparkly--"crunch"

Ok...so what's the reader I used?  Well you can grab it here from my TpT store!  Enjoy!!

Check back on the 25th for a little Christmas gift from me to you and don't forget to check out all the other freebies from the hop!
