Late to the Party...

Well, I'm late to the party (which is nothing new!).  But I'm linking up with the wonderful Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade for the April Currently.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you will definitely want to head over and check it out...but finish reading this first!

Here it is...
Lisening: I am loving Lady Antebellum. I just finished off their album on iTunes. Lots of country albums on sale for $7.99. I just couldn't help myself!
Loving: Yesterday was the beginning of my Spring Break, and it feels great!
Thinking: I would love some spring-like weather for my Spring Break stay-cation. No vacation planned, but I'd love if it would warm up a bit here.  Only a day or two forecasted to be near or slightly about 50.
Wanting: I have been wanting to go and get a pedicure for a month.  It's even been scheduled twice, but sickness came over both of us on different occasions and so we're still in the rescheduling stages.
Needing: I've got lasagna in the crockpot, but I still need to go get garlic bread and a salad.  Heading over the the boyfriend's family tonight to bring dinner! Should be fun...once I have everything I need!
Hours and Last Day: The hours above are my hours with students.  I usually get to work between 7:30 and 7:45. And it differs each day on when I leave! Depends on if I'm feeling like there's stuff I must get done or not! I try not to allow myself to stay past 4:30!

Let's Get Counting!

Hello All! I have made a little something for those of you (including my kiddos) who are practicing counting with base ten blocks.
This new set is leveled for differentiated use.  My students are at many different levels of counting with base ten blocks, so I created worksheets that will be beneficial to all of my students! There are worksheets for 10-30, 30-50, 50-70, 70-90, and using the 100 base ten block.


I cannot wait to use it with my kids this week.  I'm hoping that some of you will be able to use it with your student as well.  So I am putting it on sale for half off until 10:00 tomorrow (Monday) night.

Hope the rest of your Sunday is fabulous!

Currently March!

It's that time...beginning of a new month and time to link up with Farley for her Currently Linky!  Be sure to head over to check it out!

So here it is, my Currently for the month...

Listening: I have always been a fan of Rascal Flatts. And their newest song doesn't disappoint.

Loving: I was able to sleep in a bit this morning, and it was wonderful and much needed!  I've also been going through my TpT purchase from the last couple of days, and I'm absolutely loving my finds!

Thinking: This is pretty self explanatory. But my goodness, have I had enough of this winter?! It just needs to be over.  And they're now forecasting lower than average temperatures through May...what????

Wanting and Needing: More energy at the end of the day.  I'm thinking the way to do this is to straighten out my diet and workout routine...hence my needing to get back on the gym routine!

And my mystery answer: Mint Mocha or an Iced Tan Line. Think you know my question? Leave it in the comments!

Have a wonderful Saturday. The forecast is calling for 2-4 inches of snow today. So it looks like I'll be staying inside today...maybe using some of my new clipart!!!

Currently February and a Super Sale!

I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy, Fourth Grade! for her Currently linky! It's been a little while since I've linked up. Feels good to be getting back into the swing of blogging and linking up for some fun!   Here we go...
Listening: This is currently my favorite song.  The boyfriend and I just saw Dustin Lynch in concert (with Little Big Town and Keith Urban).  It was a wonderful concert!

Loving: The Olympics are coming so soon! I cannot wait! When I was younger, this was always a family event.  We would watch the opening together, then our favorite parts of the games, and eventually the closing.  So now as an adult, I still love watching the opening, games, and closing. Sometimes I even head over to the parentals and catch a bit with them!

Thinking: Super Bowl commercials are the best part of the game! Can't wait to see what's in store tonight!

Wanting: Spring needs to get here.  I am so over all of the snow we've gotten. And the abnormally low temperatures.  I am not that much of a winter person to begin with, but this winter has been AWFUL!!!

Needing: 100's Day and Valentine's Day are right around the corner (and only about a week apart from each other!). So I need to get some planning done.  I've got some ideas, but I need to get everything planned out for when and where. My teaching partner and I are thinking rotations for 100's Day. So we're needing to get the logistics worked out!

2 Truths and 1 Fib:
1. I truly do love dark chocolate! Dove dark chocolate or Milky Way Dark are my go to when I need a little dark chocolate fix!
2. This is my fib...I LOVE to cook.  It's the clean up that gets me!
3. My work days truly do begin with coffee.  Sometimes it's a stop to Biggby Coffee (love their coupons!). And sometimes it's the good ol' Keurig!  But either way, this girl needs an early morning coffee fix to get started!

AND now...the Super Sale! Because it's the big game (or big commercial event, in my case!), my TpT store will be on sale today.  Everything will be 20% off, so come get a little shopping done before the commercials get rolling (or the game!!!).
(Thanks to Surfin' Through Second for the sale button!)
