Summer.... come back!

Currently time- join in with Farley.


I've been working hard in my new 2nd grade classroom.  I have a lot of bulletin board papers up and am trying to get it all organized for the year...but it becomes difficult to make decisions about class set -up when you are learning new curricular expectations.  It will be a year before I decide what works for this new room.

Loving- we have been getting mountains of rain in the ABQ and nearby areas.  So much that we actually have flooding in parts of NM.  The good part- we didn't have to worry about summer forest fires this year.  That's good.

Needing- I am planning a day full of mani-pedis and haircuts and Starbucks...sigh.  Fun.  The kiddos and I will love it.  Girl time.

Enjoy your summer while it lasts!

    Hi Amy,
    I agree with the decorating - it's hard to know exactly what you should put up/want to put up when you're figuring out what you'll need to teach effectively. I just started a new job and I'm dealing with the same problem.

    I wish Missouri could get some of that rain--we are DRY! I am totally on board with the girl time idea--great way to say farewell to summer. Enjoy decorating your classroom--I know it always feels like such an accomplishment when it is finished. Have a great school year!

    Great Want! In the words of today's youth YOLO!!! If we could all but realize that life is a fleeting vapor that appeareth for a time and then passes away, then the the world would be a much more genuine and sentimental place! Have a great school year!

      YOLO is right. I just need to keep reminding myself to live in it- I am super type A, so I get wrapped up in the future. I'm working on it! :)

    Agreed...Jen! I've been practicing being present in the moment and I'm finding I have so much more quality time! With friends, family and things I love! May we never forget that each moment matters.

      Thanks for commenting. I hope we all take the school year a bit slower this year and breath with the students. :)
