Sometimes I'm M.I.A. from this little blog of mine...and while there's a MILLION reasons which might be contributing to that...it is often because I'm blogging for other sites like Scholastic, ClassDojo, and GoNoodle. Take a peek at some of my latest SCHOLASTIC TOP TEACHING BLOG posts on other blog sites to see what we're doing in class, as well as classroom tips, tricks, and techniques!

I'm linking up with Farley @ Oh, Boy 4th Grade for February Currently! February is such a fun month, with Valentine's Day, love in the air, and my own little Cupid's birthday {on Valentine's Day}!! I've got lots to share and loads to come for you in February, so get a few sneak peeks below!


// LISTENING  & WANTING //

Picture

People.....The weather outside is stinkin' crazy. This was the view outside my house earlier today, and the blizzard just keeps on keepin' on.  SO, I'm LISTENING to the sounds of ELSA outside {still waiting for an ice castle to emerge, but none yet}, and WANTING a snow day tomorrow.  Do I want to go an extra day in June?  NO WAY...but...I also don't want a 3 hour commute tomorrow morning, or worse yet, to get into an accident. Fingers crossed that Elsa's magic works its wonders.


// Loving //

February is such a fun month, with LOVE in the air, chocolates, pink, sparkles....SQUEAL! I'm playing it up by creating some fab, fun new product for my shop. From ELA & Math centers, to new "Stylish Stationery -for- Trendy Teachers"....and some top secret goodies to come...be sure to check out the shop this month!

// Thinking {& needing} //

...Nuff said.  No explanation needed.

// Needing //

There's LOTS on my needing list.  NOT because I "NEED" anything, but more so because I NEED TO DO lots of things. From finishing an existing blog post draft, to writing others from scratch, wrapping up my February products, SURVIVAL items from Wal-Mart, 
and much more...this girl has a heft to-do list for this week.  Wish me luck!

1) Miss "Make it Work": First, I'm a huge fan of Tim Gunn, and an even bigger fan of his trademark saying, "Make it work!" This is because it's pretty much my MANTRA.  I love making the most of what I have, getting super creative with limited resources {probably one reason I'm a teacher}, and making something from nothing. Look on the bright side, make the most with what you have is a huge part of who I am.

2) Creativity Queen: Somewhat tied to #1 above....I am chronically creative. My mother is super creative in everything she does {also, she is the QUEEN of #1 above} and my dad has a design degree. I am not saying I'm the craftiest person in the world, nor the best artist...I just love looking at things creatively, using creative thinking for problem-solving, and lost of creative outlets like photography, graphic design, and party planning!
