I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy, 4th Grade for the August edition of "Currently" {my first ever!}. Yes, you heard me correcty...the AUGUST "Currently." I know as teachers we get a little time-warped, and I'm no exception! My jaw dropped when I realized it was August first. Where has the time gone? {Blog post coming soon detailing EXACTLY where our time has gone, as I reflect on our amazing summer.} For now, I'm going to savor every last remaining day and soak up the final days/weeks of summer...right after I give you the run-through on my "Currently!"
- LISTENING: My son, Grayson, loves stories and we recently introduced him to the Netflix cache of Clifford episodes. Being a Scholastic blogger I have brought back stuffed Cliffords on multiple occasions, so he's a house favorite. Gray LOVES the little episodes, as they are recounts of stories we've read together. Today, he burst our chuckling, followed by muttering something to himself during one of the episodes. #priceless
- LOVING: Saturdays in the summertime mean swimming lessons, followed by family brunch. Today, we were lucky enough for Gray's grandma to come watch him swim & join us for brunch. It's fantastic to see grandparents swooning over their little ones and enjoying every moment with them. We're so lucky that our already special Saturday was made even better with "Grams" there!
- THINKING: Once August hits, I know I have to shift into school prep mode. This, coupled with upcoming blog post ideas & new product designs means my to-do list is longer than Santa's naughty/nice roster!
- WANTING: Have you ever tasted a Culver's Oreo concrete mixer {with copious amounts of fluffy whipped cream, of course!}?? If you haven't, get over to the nearest Culver's & order the largest size they have immediately. I'm craving that sweet treat for some reason....and a few extra hours in the day {per my growing to-do list above}.
- NEEDING: I have a special Chicago blogger brunch tomorrow and want to bring printed stationery goodies, but my computer & printer seem to be thwarting my efforts. #iwillfiguresomethingout In an effort not to waste any precious time, I'll shift over to finishing new digital designs!
- FIRST DAY: I still have some time, but I'd better put the "pedal to the metal" for back-to-school prep, starting this week. I'm meeting up with my #teachingtwin, Jenna, to plan for our after school STEM club on Monday, and my team meets on Wednesday {super excited for both} to start planning curriculum. August 20th will be here before I know it!
